Operating instructions
The IE-SW8-ECO switching hub is designed for the Industrial Automation environment.
Like all Ethernet switches from Weidmüller, it features non-blocking (full wire-speed) operation. It divi-
des an Ethernet network into five collision domains – “bridging” data links to create larger network dia-
meters than possible with repeating hubs.
Each port automatically negotiates its data rate to 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps – controlling data flow with
the PAUSE function in full-duplex links or with the backpressure method in half-duplex links.
Port assignments are learned by reading Ethernet frames and logging the source addresses to a table.
Throughput is improved by restricting traffic to those ports party to a data exchange – while other data
is simultaneously exchanged on other ports.
Store-and-forward operation is implemented and broadcast, multicast, or unicast transmissions are re-
ceived by all ports.
The IE-SW8-ECO has five Auto-MDIX ports for attaching local devices. In addition to a power LED,
each port has one LED showing link/activity/rate and one showing duplex status. The unit operates
from a wide range of low-voltage AC or DC power.
The IE-SW8-ECO is provided with a writable label for easy identification of the remote device attached
to each cable
