Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
The EKI-2525M/2526M is a cost-effective solution and meets the high reliability requirements demanded by industrial applications.
1.1.1High-Speed Transmissions
The EKI-2525M/2526M is an industrial switch which provides you with one (EKI-2525M) or two (EKI-2526M) fiber port for your fiber optic cable to make a long-distance connection. The EKI-2525M or EKI-2526M includes a switch controller that can automatically sense transmission speeds (10/100 Mbps). The RJ-45 interface can also be auto-detected, so MDI or MDI-X is automatically selected and a crossover cable is not required. All Ethernet ports have memory buffers that support the store-and- forward mechanism. This assures that data is properly transmitted.
1.1.2Dual Power Input
EKI-2525M/2526M redundant power input design is with power reserve protection to prevent the switch device broken by wrong power wiring. When one of power input is fail, P-Fail LED will turn on and send an alarm through a relay output for notifying user.
1.1.3Flexible Mounting
EKI-2525M/2526M is extremely compact (37 x 140 x 95 mm) and can be mounted on a DIN-rail or a panel, so it is suitable for any space-constrained environment.
1.1.4Advanced Protection
EKI-2525M/2526M supports up to 3,000 VDC surge protection for power line, and also supports 4000V ESD for Ethernet ports. With these 2 strong protections, it can secure equipment against unregulated voltage and make systems safer and more reliable. Further, EKI-2525M/2526M provides currency overload protection with a resettable fuse to ensure that the device component won’t be damaged by overload current.
1.1.5Wide Operating Temperature
The operating temperature of the EKI-2525M/2526M is between -40 ~ 75 (wide operating temperature model) or -10 ~ 60 (standard model). With such a wide range,
you can use the EKI-2525M/2526M in some of the harshest industrial environments that exist.
1.1.6Easy Troubleshooting
LED indicators make troubleshooting quick and easy. Each 10/100 Base-TX port has 2 LEDs that display the link status, transmission speed and collision status. Also the three power indicators P1, P2 and P-Fail help you diagnose immediately.
