One Key Ring Function Overview
The Industrial Ring Ethernet Switch supports the super-fast, fault-tolerant ring redundancy technology and features strong rapid self-recovery capability to prevent interruptions and external intrusions. Its Dual SFP Ports incorporate advanced ring data recovery through DIP switch technology and redundant power input system into customer’s industrial automation network to enhance system reliability and uptime in harsh environments. In a simple Ring network with 8 units, the recovery time of data link can be as fast as 1ms.

Note
- Power off the Industrial Ring Ethernet Switch before adjusting the DIP switch and then power it on.
- Ring performance may vary depending on the length of the fiber optic and UTP cables.
- The active Ring function is not compatible with the IEEE 802.1p class of service function.
- Due to differences in design between the Industrial Ring Ethernet Switch One Key Ring and the ERPS Ring functions available on PLANET Industrial Managed Switch devices, the two functions are not compatible with each other.
PoE Extended Function (IFGS-624PTF Only)
This mode makes the IFGS-624PTF operate on a per-port basis at 10Mbps full duplex operation but can support IEEE 802.3at PoE+ power output over a distance of up to 250 meters overcoming the 100m limit on Ethernet UTP cable.
PoE Power Usage LED (IFGS-624PTF Only)
The front panel of the IFGS-624PTF has four Fast Ethernet 802.3at PoE+ ports, and four LEDs which indicate PoE Power Usages of 30W, 60W, 90W and 120W. With these LED indications, you can monitor the current PoE power-in-use status of the IFGS-624PTF easily and efficiently.

Wiring the Power Inputs
The 6-contact terminal block connector on the top panel of Industrial Ring Ethernet Switch is used for two redundant power inputs. Please follow the steps below to insert the power wire.
Caution When performing any of the procedures like inserting the wires or tightening the wire-clamp screws, make sure the power is OFF to prevent from getting an electric shock.
- Insert positive and negative DC power wires into contacts 1 and 2 for POWER 1, or contacts 5 and 6 for POWER 2.
V1+ V1- V2+ V2- PWR1 PWR2 - Tighten the wire-clamp screws for preventing the wires from loosening.
Caution PWR1 and PWR2 must provide the same DC voltage for power load balance while operating with dual power input.
Wiring the Faulty Alarm Contact
The faulty alarm contacts are in the middle of the terminal block connector as the picture shows below. Inserting the wires, the Industrial Ring Ethernet Switch will detect the fault status of the power failure and then forms an open circuit.
The following illustration shows an application example for wiring the faulty alarm contacts.
Note
- The wire gauge for the terminal block should be in the range of 12 ~ 24 AWG.
- Alarm relay circuit accepts up to 24V, max. 1A currents.
Grounding the Device
Users MUST complete grounding wired with the device; otherwise, a sudden lightning could cause fatal damage to the device.
Note
EMD (Lightning) DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
