Moxa EDS-P308-S-SC [2/16] Overview

- 2 -

Overview

We describe two products in this manual:

The Moxa EtherDevice™ EDS-P308 Series is an 8-port smart Ethernet

switch that provides an economical solution for your Ethernet connections.

The switch supports PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) on ports 1 to 4, which

means that the EDS-P308 Series can double as a piece of power source

equipment (PSE). When used in this way, the EDS-P308 Series can supply

up to 15.4 watts of power per port, and can power IEEE 802.3af compliant

powered devices (PD), eliminating the need for additional wiring. The

EDS-P308 Series switch is highly versatile, and its FX fiber port can

transmit data up to 40 km from the device to the control center with high

EMI immunity. As an added bonus, the built-in smart alarm function helps

system maintainers monitor the health of your Ethernet network.

The SPL-24 plays the role of PD, and splits the data signal and power

signal that are transmitted from the PSE. The SPL-24 plays a dual role of

providing power to industrial devices, and enabling Ethernet connections.

The EDS-P308 and SPL-24 have a wide operating temperature range of

-40 to 75°C, and are designed to withstand a high degree of vibration and

shock. The rugged hardware design makes the EDS-P308 Series and

SPL-24 perfect for ensuring that your Ethernet equipment can operate in

critical industrial environments, such as in hazardous locations, and

complies with FCC and CE standards.

The installation of the EDS-P308 Series is presented on pages 3 to 11. The

installation of the SPL-24 is presented on pages 11 to 15.
