EDS-510A Series User’s Manual

Introduction

Overview

As the world’s network and information technology becomes more mature, the trend is to use Ethernet as the major communications interface in many industrial communications and automation applications. In fact, a whole new industry has sprung up to provide Ethernet products that comply with the requirements of demanding industrial applications.

The EDS-510A comes equipped with 3 gigabit Ethernet ports. Two of the ports can be used for building a redundant Gigabit ring called Gigabit Turbo Ring, which gives system maintainers a convenient means of setting up a versatile yet stable Gigabit Ethernet network. With Gigabit Turbo Ring, if any segment of the network gets disconnected, your automation system will be back to normal in under 300 ms. The third Gigabit Ethernet port can be a uplink port, which can give 1000 Mbps link capability for transmitting all of the data to the control center. By providing this third Gigabit Ethernet port, the EDS-510A can help the user build a complete Gigabit Ethernet backbone network.
