1.3.10.7 Discrete I/O customer interface wiring
The customer interface to the discrete I/O is provided at the I/O module relay blocks. These relay
blocks and the customer wire termination points are mounted in the discrete I/O cubicle and are
accessed from the front of the switchgear. Control conduits are terminated in the rear cable
compartment and the discrete I/O wiring is routed to the front of the switchgear through an
opening in the discrete I/O cubicle rear barrier.
1.3.11 System interface Ethernet communication network
The system interface Ethernet communication network is a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN that
provides an interface into the Entellisys system for systems such as the Entellisys HMI, SCADA
systems, building automation, HVAC systems or other. The system interface Ethernet
communication network provides information and control of all circuit breakers in the system.
The external communications network will use 100BaseT (copper twisted pair) CAT5 or better
cabling. A fiber optic connection is available as an option.
1.3.12 System interface Ethernet switch
The interface between the Entellisys system and the external world is through the system
interface Ethernet switch, an industrial hardened 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switch. An 8-port
copper model is standard. Optionally customers may choose a 9-port model with an additional
fiber port for external gear communication. The fiber port supports 100FL connections only.
