600 Series Industrial Ethernet Switch

The N-TRON 600 Series are product derivatives of the OSM/ESM family

jointly manufactured by Siemens and N-TRON. The N-TRON 600 Series

switches supports high speed layer 2 switching between ports, and is housed

in a ruggedized steel enclosure, and can withstand industrial temperatures,

as well as high shock & vibration, and caries an MTBF in excess of 1M

hours.

The 604MFX (608MFX) is a 4 (8) port ruggedized Ethernet switch that is

capable of auto negotiating 10/100 Mb and half/full duplex communications

on 2 (6) copper ports, and contains two 100BaseFX Fiber Optic ports.

The 604/608MFX are managed switches that supports SNMP management

software, as well as configuration by a CLI (Command Line Interface –

Serial Port), Telnet, and/or Web based browsers.

The 600 Series Switches can also serve as redundancy managers, detect

faults in ring topologies and allow high-speed ring network healing, thus

providing media redundancy for mission critical control applications.

600 Series Hazardous Location Installation Requirements

1. WARNING! Do not disconnect while circuit is live, unless area is

known to be non-hazardous.

2. WARNING! Install only in accordance with Local & National

Codes of .Authorities Having Jurisdiction.

3. Class I, Div 2 installation requires that all devices connected to this

product must be approved for the area in which it is installed.

4. Only hazardous location approved wiring with temperature ratings

greater than 80 C permitted for Class I, Div 2 installations

operating at temperatures up to 60 C ambient.

Personnel Qualification Requirements

Only qualified personnel should be allowed to install and work on this

equipment. Qualified personnel are defined as individuals who are

familiar with the installation, assembly, startup, and operation of this

product and who possess the relevant qualifications for their work e.g.:

Training in or authorization for connecting up, grounding, or

labeling circuits and devices or systems in accordance with current

standards in safety technology.

Training in or authorization for the maintenance and use of suitable

safety equipment in accordance with current standards in safety

technology.

First aid qualification.

DIN-Rail Mounting

Install the unit on a standard 35mm Din-Rail. When installing the unit in an

enclosed cabinet, recess it to allow at least 3” of clearance for fiber optic

cable bend radius, and 2 inches for TX cables and power connections.

Please note the 600 Series units must be installed in the vertical orientation

for cooling purposes. In this orientation, the power connector is at the top

of the unit, and the signal cables exit from the bottom of the unit.

19” Rack Mounting

19” Rack mount kits are available. Please consult with your local sales

representative for price & availability. Order part number: URMK

APPLYING POWER

1. Unscrew the flange & remove the DC Voltage Input Plug from the

Header.

2. Install the DC Power Cables into the Plug(s) (observing polarity

per the legend on the top of the unit). L1+ and L2+ are the +24V

connections. M1 and M2 are the minus (-) returns for the L1 and

L2 respectively. F1 and F2 terminals are across the contact switch

that opens to signify a fault detection. Voltage/Current for F1/F2

is limited to 24V @ 100mA.

3. Plug the Voltage Input Plug back into the side header. All LED’s

will flash ON Momentarily.

4. Tightening torque for the terminal block power plug is 0.5

Nm/0.368 Pound Foot.

5. The unit will complete the power up cycle in approximately 20

seconds.

Note: Only 1 power supply is required to be connected to power for

minimal operation. For redundant power operation, L1 and L2

terminals must be connected to separate DC Voltage sources. Use wire

sizes 14-28 gauge.

Recommended 24V DC Power Supplies, similar to:

100VAC/240VAC:

N-Tron’s NTPS-24-1.3, DC 24V/1.3A

CONNECTING THE STANDARD RING

Remove the dust cap from the fiber optic connectors and connect the

fiber optic cables.

Please refer to the Figure 1. Diagram.

To begin the ring, the TX out-port #7 should be connected to the RX

in-port #8 of the far end station. The RX in-port #7 should be

connected to the TX out-port #8 on the far end station.

Likewise, the TX out-port #8 should be connected to the RX in-port #7

of the far end station completing the ring. The RX in-port #8 should be

connected to the TX out-port #7 on the far end station.

Additional

Ports

(Revised 2010-11-15)

For 10/100 Base-TX ports, plug a Category 5 (or better) twisted pair

cable into one the RJ45 copper ports (1-6). Connect the other end to

the far end station. Verify that the Port LED’s are ON once the

connection has been completed. For Switch to Switch or Switch to

Repeater connections, a crossover cable may be required if the

connecting unit does not support the HP-MDIX auto cable detect

feature. For 10/100BaseTX operation, the 600 Series Switch will sense

& adapt accordingly.

A maximum number of 50 600 Series switches can be connected in a

single ring.

Warning: In absence of RSTP or Proprietary Ring control on the

specific ports connected, creating a port to port connection on the same

switch (i.e. a loop) is an illegal operation and will create a broadcast

storm which will crash the network!

CONNECTING MULTIPLE RINGS (608MFX Only)

For multiple rings, the connection between two network segments is

made on two separate paths. Two of the 608MFX’s in a ring are

connected together via a connection cable with an ITP cable (maximum

length of 40m), and inform each other of their operating states. One of

the 608MFX units is assigned the redundant function using the DIP

switch setting “Stby on” (Standby Slave). The other 608MFX unit

takes over the function of the Standby Master, with the DIP switch

setting “Stby off” (see Figure 2). Please note that 604MFX units

cannot be used as Ring Couplers.

Because of the 50-unit ring limit, for larger networks, the user must

configure multiple rings. By using the Master/Slave Standby approach

to couple rings together, the user can enlarge the network by chaining

segments.

Port Assignment in the Standby Mode

On the Standby Master and Standby Slave only port #1 (default

standby port) can be used for the coupling to the neighboring ring.

Connect the #1 ports together using a CAT5E crossover cable between

switches. Ports 2-6 can be used just as normal switch ports.

Simultaneous Standby and Redundancy Manager Operation

A standby master or standby slave can adopt the function of a

redundancy manager at the same time.
