Industrial Ethernet Network Characteristics
The SWTC-SPIDER5TX uses unmanaged switching, so Ethernet forwarding requires no software configuration or switch-management parameters. The five RJ45 ports support 10Base-T and 100Base-TX operation with automatic speed negotiation.
Auto-MDI/MDI-X provides automatic transmit and receive pair adaptation at each copper port. Therefore, separate straight-through and crossover cable selection is not required for normal Ethernet connections.
The switch supports IEEE 802.3x flow control for compatible Ethernet traffic conditions. Front-panel LEDs provide local indication of power, link status, and network activity.
For Allen-Bradley control architectures, the unit can provide physical Ethernet connectivity between compatible controllers, I/O devices, operator interfaces, and other Ethernet nodes. Network-level determinism depends on the connected devices, traffic architecture, and application configuration rather than the unmanaged switch alone.
The dual power-input arrangement supports connection to separate DC supply paths where the installation design requires redundant power feeding. The supplied data does not specify switching behavior or transfer time between power inputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the SWTC-SPIDER5TX require software configuration?
A: No. The supplied specifications identify the unit as an unmanaged switch with plug-and-play operation.
Q: What Ethernet cabling functions are provided by the RJ45 ports?
A: The ports support 10/100Base-TX Ethernet, Auto-Negotiation, and Auto-MDI/MDI-X operation.
Q: Can the switch be installed on a DIN rail?
A: Yes. The specified mechanical mounting method is a 35 mm DIN rail.
Field Installation Guidelines
Install the switch on a mechanically secure 35 mm DIN rail position inside the control cabinet.
Verify the DC supply voltage remains within the specified 9.6 VDC to 32 VDC operating range before energizing the unit.
Use appropriately rated industrial Ethernet cabling and maintain physical separation between communication cables and high-current or high-voltage conductors.
Avoid routing Ethernet cables parallel to motor feeders, contactor wiring, variable-frequency drive output cables, or other strong electromagnetic noise sources.
Terminate cable shields according to the cabinet grounding architecture and applicable site EMC practices. Avoid creating unintended ground-current paths through multiple shield termination points.
Provide sufficient clearance around connected cables to prevent excessive bending or mechanical loading at the RJ45 connectors.
Maintain the specified operating temperature and humidity conditions, and prevent condensation inside the enclosure.
Because the housing is rated IP30, install the switch inside an enclosure providing the environmental protection required by the installation location.
Verify link LEDs and power indicators after wiring. Confirm network communication at the connected control devices before placing the Ethernet segment into service.
