608MFX Industrial Ethernet Switch

The N-TRON 608MFX is a product derivative of the OSM/ESM family

jointly manufactured by Siemens and N-TRON. The N-TRON 608MFX

upports 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 608MFX is an 8 port ruggedized Ethernet switch that is capable of auto

negotiating 10/100 Mb and half/full duplex communications on 6 copper

ports, and contains two 100BaseFX Fiber Optic ports.

The 608MFX is a managed switch that supports SNMP management

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

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

The 608MFX can also serve as a redundancy manager, detect faults in ring

topologies and allow high-speed ring network healing, thus providing media

redundancy for mission critical control applications.

beam (fiber optic connector) when installing or operating the product.

Never install or work on electrical equipment or cabling during periods

of lightning activity. NO USER SERVICABLE PARTS INSIDE.

Disconnect the power cable before removing the enclosure top.

Do not operate the unit with the top cover removed

UNPACKING

Remove all the equipment from the packaging, and store the packaging

in a safe place.

File any damage claims with the carrier.

608MFX/608MFXE 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 installations 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 80OC permitted for Class I, Div 2 installations operating at

temperatures up to 60OC 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 in a standard 35mm Din-Rail. Recess the unit 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 608MFX 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 # 900RMK.

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

seconds.

Note: Only 1 power supply must 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:

120/240VAC:

Sola SPDI –24-100

24VDC at 1.3A 0-60C

NTRON Part Number: SDP1

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.

Note:Port7 must be connected to Port8 for proper operation.

Additional

Ports

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

into one of 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

608MFX will sense & adapt accordingly.

A maximum number of 50 608MFX’s can be connected in a ring.

CONNECTING MULTIPLE RINGS

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).

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.
