Moxa EDS-P510A-8PoE-2GTXSFP - -10 to 60 °C content_copy

The Moxa EDS-P510A-8PoE-2GTXSFP is a managed industrial Ethernet switch with integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality, designed for use in demanding industrial environments. The switch features 8 PoE-capable 10/100BaseT(X) ports, each capable of delivering up to 36 W, as well as 2 Gigabit combo ports that can be used either as RJ45 connectors or as SFP slots. With a maximum PoE budget of 240 W, it is particularly suitable for applications requiring the connection of multiple PoE devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, or industrial sensors. The Gigabit data transmission via the combo ports enables high bandwidth for critical data streams in networks with high throughput requirements.

Applications

The switch is designed for use in intelligent surveillance systems, wireless infrastructures, industrial automation environments, and other applications where a reliable network connection and power supply over the network cable are required. Support for industrial protocols such as Modbus TCP and EtherNet/IP makes it especially suitable for use in factories, power supply facilities, or rail transport. The integrated redundancy function via Turbo Ring, Turbo Chain, as well as STP/RSTP/MSTP ensures rapid network recovery in the event of a failure.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The EDS-P510A-8PoE-2GTXSFP offers extensive Layer-2 management functions, including VLAN (port-based, 802.1Q, GVRP), Quality of Service (QoS) with 4 priority queues, and support for IEEE 802.1p/1Q as well as TOS/DiffServ. The security functions include IEEE 802.1X, RADIUS, TACACS+, SSH, HTTPS, and MAC locking to prevent unauthorized access. For network monitoring, protocols such as SNMP v1/v2c/v3, Telnet, TFTP, Syslog, as well as RMON and Port Mirror are available. PoE management includes functions such as diagnostics, scheduling, event alerts, and Legacy/Force mode to enable targeted control of power supply to connected devices.

Technology Explained Simply

The PoE technology (Power over Ethernet) enables power supply to network devices via the Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power sources. The 8 PoE ports support the standards IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+), with each port capable of delivering up to 36 W. The total power budget of 240 W allows simultaneous power supply to multiple PoE devices. The combo ports offer flexibility: as RJ45 connectors, they are used for direct connections; as SFP slots, they can be equipped with fiber optic transceivers for longer distances or optical connections. The Auto-MDI/MDI-X function automatically detects the correct connection, eliminating the need for additional crossover cables.

Compatibility and Accessories

The switch is compatible with industrial protocols such as Modbus TCP and EtherNet/IP, making it suitable for use in automation systems. Support for redundancy protocols such as Turbo Ring, Turbo Chain, STP, RSTP, and MSTP enables integration into redundant network topologies. For network monitoring and control, protocols such as SNMP, Telnet, TFTP, and Syslog are available. The MIBs (Management Information Base) include standard MIBs such as Bridge MIB, MIB-II, Ethernet-like MIB, P/Q-BRIDGE, and RSTP MIB, which are required for management via network management systems.

Mounting and Installation

The switch is housed in a metal housing with protection rating IP30, protecting against dust and light splashing water. Dimensions are 79.2 mm (H) × 135 mm (W) × 105 mm (D), and weight is 1030 g. Mounting is done via DIN rail, with optional wall mounting available. Power supply is via two redundant inputs at 48 VDC (range: 44–57 VDC), with integrated reverse polarity and overcurrent protection. Input current is 5.36 A at 48 VDC, and power consumption without PoE is 17.28 W.

Operational Advantages

The EDS-P510A-8PoE-2GTXSFP offers high operational reliability through redundant power supply, integrated protection functions, and redundancy protocols. The comprehensive management function enables centralized network control and monitoring. The high PoE power output and Gigabit connections ensure flexible and powerful network equipment. The operating temperature range of -10 °C to 60 °C makes the switch suitable for use in various industrial environments. Certifications according to UL 508, EN 55032/24, CISPR 32, FCC Part 15B, and IEC 61000-4-x (EMS) confirm reliability and EMC compliance. The MTBF is 708,972 hours (Telcordia), and the warranty covers 5 years.

I/O Functions

The switch features an alarm relay output (0.5 A @ 48 VDC), a digital input (13–30 V = 1, -30 to +3 V = 0, max. 8 mA), and an RS-232 console port (RJ45) for local configuration and diagnostics. These interfaces enable integration into higher-level control systems and allow local maintenance of the device.

Environmental Conditions

The switch can be operated at an operating temperature of -10 °C to 60 °C and a humidity level of 5–95 % (non-condensing). Storage temperature ranges from -40 °C to 85 °C. The robust construction and certifications for industrial use (Class I Division 2, NEMA TS2, EN 50121-4) ensure reliable operation under harsh conditions.
