Grounding Moxa EtherDevice Switch

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.

ATTENTION This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel.

Wiring the Alarm Contact

The Alarm Contact consists of the two middle contacts of the terminal block on EDS’s top panel. You may refer to the next section for detailed instructions on how to connect the wires to the terminal block connector, and how to attach the terminal block connector to the terminal block receptor.

In this section, we explain the meaning of the two contacts used to connect the Alarm Contact.

FAULT

Front View

FAULT: The two middle contacts of the 6-contact terminal block connector are used to detect both power faults and port faults. The two wires attached to the Fault contacts form an open circuit when:

1.EDS has lost power from one of the DC power inputs.

2.One of the ports for which the corresponding PORT ALARM DIP Switch is set to ON is not properly connected.

If neither of these two conditions is satisfied, the Fault circuit will be closed.
