RocketLinx ES7206-XT Installation Overview

You can use the following overview to install the ES7206-XT.

[Note]
Note

The ES7206-XT is to be connected to PoE networks without routing to outside of the plant.

Connect the Power

The ES7206-XT provides redundant power, reverse polarity protection, over-current protection and accepts a positive or negative power source but PWR1 and PWR2 must be applied with power sources of same polarity.

The terminal block accepts 12 - 24AWG wire. Use a UL listed power supply with the required output voltage of 12-36VDC to deliver IEEE 802.3at PoE Plus on all PoE ports (Ports 1-4). The power supply must be rated as follows:

  • 802.3af - 96 Watts (Minimum)

  • 802.3at - 168 Watts (Minimum)

[Note]
Note

Power should be disconnected from the power supply before connecting it to the ES7206-XT. Otherwise, your screwdriver blade can inadvertently short your terminal connections to the grounded enclosure.

ES7206-XT Power Supply

  1. Disconnect the terminal block from the ES7206-XT.

  2. Insert the positive and negative wires (12 to 24 AWG) into the V+ and V- contact on the terminal block connector. You can connect a single power supply or two power supplies depending on your requirements.

    If both power inputs are connected, the ES7206-XT is powered from the highest connected voltage. The unit can be configured to signal an alarm for loss of power in either PWR1 or PWR2.

  3. Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the DC wires from becoming loose.

  4. Plug the terminal block into the ES7206-XT.

[Note]
Note

When the ES7206-XT is in operation, caution must be taken to not touch the hot surface of the product enclosure.

Connect the Ground

To ensure the system is not damaged by noise or any electrical shock, we suggest that you to make an exact connection between the ES7206-XT and earth ground. On the bottom side of the ES7206-XT, there is one earth ground screw. Loosen the earth ground screw with a screw driver; then tighten the screw after the earth ground wire (12 to 24AWG) is connected.

If you are going to mount the ES7206-XT on a grounded DIN rail, you do not need to also connect the ground wire.

Connect the Relay Alarm Output

The alarm relay output or digital output (DO) contacts are on the terminal block connector. The alarm relay output contacts are normally open. The alarm relay output contacts close when the alarm is enabled with the DIP switches and there is a port link failure or PoE failure on a port.

The relay contact supports up to 0.5A at 24VDC. Do not apply voltage and current higher than the specifications.

Insert the wires and set the DIP switch.

Set the DIP Switch

The ES7206-XT has an 8-pin DIP switch located on the bottom panel to configure the Port Link Alarm for the Ethernet ports. The following table shows the DIP switch number mapping to the corresponding options.

Note

After connecting the SFP or changing the speed through DIP 8, cycle the power to activate the SFP.

Mount the ES7206-XT

The ES7206-XT can be mounted on a DIN rail. The DIN rail clip is already attached to the ES7206-XT at the factory.

  1. Insert the upper end of the DIN rail clip into the back of the DIN rail track from its upper side.

  2. Lightly push the bottom of the DIN rail clip into the track.

  3. Verify that the DIN rail clip is tightly attached to the track.

Note

When the ES7206-XT is in operation, caution must be taken to not touch the hot surface of the product enclosure.

Connect RJ45 Ports

Connect one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of the ES7206-XT and the other end to the attached networking device:

  • Ports 1-4 are Gigabit PoE ports that support IEEE 802.3af/802.3at (PoE+)

  • Port 5 is a Gigabit (10/100/1000BASE-TX) port

  • Port 6 is a Gigabit SFP port, which is discussed in the next section

All of the Ethernet ports auto-detect the signal from connected devices to negotiate the link speed and duplex mode. Auto MDI/MDIX allows you to connect another switch, hub, or workstation without changing straight-through or crossover cables. Crossover cables cross-connect the transmit lines at each end to the received lines at the opposite end.

Always make sure that the cables between the switch and attached devices (for example, switch, hub, or workstation) do not exceed 100 meters (328 feet) and are Category 5e or higher cable.

Connect the SFP Port

You can connect an SFP transceiver to Port 6. Pepperl+Fuchs Comtrol, Inc. recommends using approved SFP transceivers. Cross-connect the transmit channel at each end to the receive channel at the opposite end as illustrated in the figure.

Make sure that you use an SFP fiber transceiver compliant with UL certification and EN60825 Class 1. For ensure system reliability, Pepperl+Fuchs Comtrol, Inc. recommends using Pepperl+Fuchs Comtrol, Inc. certified Gigabit SFPs.

Connect the SFP transceiver by plugging the cable into SFP fiber transceiver fist. Cross‐connect the transmit channel at each end to the receive channel at the opposite end as illustrated in the figure.
