Chapter 2 Switch Installation

Connecting the Switch to the Power Converter

Connecting the Power Converter to a DC Power Source

You can also connect the power converter to a DC power source. The power converter adapts the power source voltage to the 24 VDC that the switch requires.

Follow these steps to connect the power converter to a DC power source.

Note Use copper conductors only, rated at a minimum temperature of 167°F (75°C).

Warning Use twisted-pair supply wires suitable for 86°F (30°C) above surrounding ambient temperature outside the enclosure. Statement 1067

Step 1 Measure a single length of stranded copper wire long enough to connect the power converter to the earth ground. The wire color might differ depending on the country that you are using it in.

For connections from the power converter to earth ground, use shielded 18-AWG stranded copper wire, such as Belden part number 9912 or the equivalent.

Step 2 Measure a length of twisted-pair copper wire long enough to connect the power converter to the DC power source.

For DC connections from the power converter to the DC source, use 18-AWG twisted-pair copper wire, such as Belden part number 9344 or the equivalent.

Step 3 Using a 18-gauge wire-stripping tool, strip the ground wire and both ends of the twisted pair wires to

0.25inch (6.3 mm) ± 0.02 inch (0.5 mm). Do not strip more than 0.27 inch (6.8 mm) of insulation from the wires. Stripping more than the recommended amount of wire can leave exposed wire from the power and relay connector after installation. See Figure 2-9.

Step 4 Connect one end of the stranded copper wire to a grounded bare metal surface, such as a ground bus, a grounded DIN rail, or a grounded bare rack.

Step 5 Insert the other end of the exposed ground wire lead into the earth-ground wire connection on the power converter terminal block. Only wire with insulation should extend from the connection. See Figure 2-45.

Step 6 Tighten the earth-ground wire connection terminal block screw.

Note The torque should not exceed 10 in-lb.

IE 3000 Series, IEM30004PC specifications

The Cisco IEM30004PC is an integral component of the Cisco IE 3000 Series, designed specifically for deployment in harsh industrial environments. This managed Ethernet switch provides versatility, reliability, and robust performance necessary for industrial applications, supporting a range of Ethernet-enabled devices.

One of the main features of the IEM30004PC is its rugged design. The switch is built to withstand extreme temperatures, vibrations, and electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for usage in manufacturing plants, oil and gas facilities, and transportation systems. It operates within a wide temperature range of -40 to 75 degrees Celsius, ensuring dependable functionality in varying environmental conditions.

The IEM30004PC is equipped with four 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports. These ports support both copper and fiber connections, providing flexibility for network installations. In addition, the switch supports various redundancy protocols, including Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), which enhance network reliability and fault tolerance.

Another distinguishing characteristic of the IEM30004PC is its support for Power over Ethernet (PoE). This feature allows the switch to deliver power over the Ethernet cables to connected devices, such as IP cameras and wireless access points, eliminating the need for separate power sources and simplifying installations.

Cisco's IEM30004PC also integrates advanced security features, including 802.1X port-based authentication, Access Control Lists (ACLs), and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). These security measures ensure that only authorized devices can connect to the network, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and enhancing overall network integrity.

For network management, the IEM30004PC supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Cisco's Network Assistant, and other management tools. This enables centralized control and monitoring of the network, simplifying the administration and operation of industrial networks.

In summary, the Cisco IEM30004PC, as part of the IE 3000 Series, is engineered for robust performance in industrial settings. With its rugged design, multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, PoE capabilities, and advanced security features, it is an excellent choice for organizations seeking reliable networking solutions in challenging environments. Its comprehensive management options further enhance its utility, making it an indispensable asset for modern industrial networks.
