Hardware Features
ED Range – Industrial
ED Range – Light Industrial
Usability Features
The ED range has been designed so that it is as easy as possible to wire up the input, output, relay, serial gateway and power wires to the terminal blocks and to connect the network cable:
- Removable screw terminal blocks make installation easier and quicker
- Colour coded terminal blocks and ports prevent an incorrect connection (Industrial only)
- Individually numbered pins simplify the wiring and removes confusion (Industrial only)
- Smart Ethernet which automatically detects the polarity of the Ethernet connection so either a straight through or crossover Ethernet cable can be used
- Functional ground to DIN rail
- USB Power Option - Can use the 5 Volt power from any computer USB port via the optional cable accessory PW-650

NPN Jumper Setting
As long as you have the relevant jumper set to the 'NPN' position, you do not need an external power supply to use a contact switch. The NPN jumper position puts a pull-up resistor on the input so that you can just wire the switch between the input and ground.
For ED-588, ED-527, ED-516, ED-504, ED-538:
When in RS422/485 mode, there are biasing jumpers for Biasing (B+ and B-) and for Terminating Resistor (T).
These are factory default set in the ON position (Biasing and Terminating Resistor Enabled). If these jumpers are in the PARK position, then Biasing and Terminating Resistor is Disabled.

Ground Types
- Functional Ground is the EARTH connection through the DIN rail that the ED-5xx and ES-5xx is attached to. This Functional Ground (EARTH) on the ED-5xx is on PIN 5 of the BLACK power connector.
- Power Ground is the low side (0V) of the power input. Connected directly to PIN 1 and PIN 4 of the BLACK power input connector.
- Signal Ground is applicable to those ED/ES products which have a serial gateway or serial port. This is the ground associated with the data transmission signals.

RS-232 Standard
The RS-232 standard was introduced in 1962 and is now widely established. RS-232 is a slow speed, short distance, single ended transmission system (i.e. only one wire per signal). Typical RS-232 maximum cable length is 50 feet.
