AB Stratix 8000 and 8300 Ethernet Managed Switches

AB Stratix 8000 and 8300 Ethernet Managed Switches

Product Overview: The Stratix 8000 and 8300 Ethernet Managed Switches are designed for use in harsh industrial environments, 

connecting servers, routers, PLCs, and other network devices. 

They are available in models such as the 1783-MS06T (4 10/100BASE-T Ethernet ports and 2 dual-purpose ports) and 1783-MS10T for the Stratix 8000 series,

and the 1783-RMS06T and 1783-RMS10T for the Stratix 8300 series. 

There are also expansion modules 1783-MX08T (8 10/100BASE-T copper Ethernet ports), 1783-MX08F (8 100BASE-FX fibre-optic Ethernet ports), 

and a variety of SFP modules.

Preparation for installation: Before installation, make sure that the installation environment meets the requirements, 

the ambient temperature is between -40°C and 60°C, and there is enough space around the equipment to ensure that the airflow is not blocked. 

Prepare tools such as a ratcheting torque screwdriver and specific copper grounding wire.

Installation Procedure:

Connection of expansion modules (optional): 1 - 2 expansion modules can be installed, with specific combination limitations, 

remove the side panels before installing and fixing.

Mounting the switch: DIN rail, wall or panel mounting is available; DIN rail mounting requires attention to grounding and DIN rail type; 

wall or panel mounting requires specific bolts and washers.

Mounting SFP Modules (optional): wear an ESD wrist strap during operation and be aware of module compatibility.

Grounding: Use 5.3 mm 2 (10 AWG) grounded copper wire to connect to the ground screw on the front panel of the switch.

Connecting the DC Power Supply: The power supply must comply with the CE Low Voltage Directive and UL limits, 

observing positive and negative polarity and torque requirements when connecting.

Connecting the power supply and relay connectors: Insert the connectors and tighten the screws, taking care to isolate 

the voltages if more than one power supply is used.

Connecting external alarms (optional): connect up to two external alarm devices, use specific wires and pay attention to voltage and torque requirements.

Configuration Management:

Express Setup: Used to set the initial IP address, requires specific device and network configuration.

Configuration Management Methods: Configuration and management can be performed through the Device Manager web interface, 

RSLogix 5000 software, and other methods.

Reset Operation: The switch can be restored to the factory default settings, after which it needs to be reconfigured.

Troubleshooting: Faults such as POST failure, port connection problems, etc. can be determined by the status indicators on the front panel of the switch. 

Troubleshooting can also be assisted by obtaining statistical information through the browser interface, command line interface, or SNMP workstation.

Product Specifications

Electrical specifications: The input voltage range is 18-60V DC and the maximum input current is 1A, 

which can adapt to power fluctuation within a certain range and provide power protection for the stable operation of the switch. 

The alarm relay is rated at 30V DC max. and 1A max. and can be used to connect external alarm devices to issue an alarm in time 

when the system is abnormal. For isolation voltage, the switch base and expansion modules have specific isolation requirements between different ports, 

such as 75V (continuous) basic insulation type between DC power port and ground, 

Ethernet port, alarm port, and between Ethernet port and expansion backplane, and have been tested at 1000V AC 60s, 

which guarantees electrical isolation between different circuits and improves the system security .

Physical Specifications: The dimensions of the switches and expansion modules are clearly defined, 

taking the 1783-MS10T and 1783-MX08T as examples, which facilitates space planning and layout during equipment installation. 

A variety of port types, including 10/100BASE-T, 10/100/1000BASE-T copper ports and SFP module slots, 

as well as 100BASE-FX fibre-optic ports (only available on the 1783-MX08F expansion module), 

are available to meet the connectivity needs of different devices. 

The connecting wires have specific specifications, including IEC 60603-7-compliant RJ45 connectors and at least Category 5e cables for Ethernet connections, 

0.5-0.8 mm 2 (20-18 AWG) copper wires for DC power and alarm connections, and 3.3-5.3 mm 2 (12-10 AWG) copper wires for functional ground connections, 

ensuring the reliability of the electrical connections. Ensures reliable electrical connections.

Environmental specifications: Operating temperature range of - 40°C to 60°C and non-operating temperature range of - 40°C to 85°C provide a wide range 

of temperatures for stable operation in a variety of climatic and industrial environments. 

Relative humidity requirements of 5% to 95% non-condensing, even in humid environments. 

The product is IP20 rated, which provides a degree of protection for the internal circuitry by preventing the ingress of solid foreign objects larger than 12mm. 

There are also standards for vibration and shock, such as 2g @ 10-500Hz for vibration, 20g for operating shock, and 30g for non-operating shock, 

providing strong resistance to environmental interference.

Performance Features

Port auto-negotiation and self-adaptation: The ports are equipped with the functions of auto-negotiation of link speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) 

and duplex setting (full-duplex or half-duplex), which can automatically match the optimal network connection parameters 

with the connected devices without manual configuration, thus improving the convenience and compatibility of device connection. 

Some models of dual-purpose ports, in the SFP module port and RJ45 port at the same time there is a connection, the SFP module port has priority, 

this design makes the network connection more flexible, according to the actual needs of the choice of different connection methods.

Multiple Configuration and Management Methods: Provides multiple configuration and management methods, including Device Manager web interface, 

RSLogix 5000 software, Cisco Network Assistant, Command Line Interface (CLI) and SNMP management application. 

Users can choose the appropriate way according to their own needs and technical level, which is convenient for initial setup, 

daily management and troubleshooting of the switch. The Express Setup function allows users to quickly set up the initial IP address of the switch, 

enabling the switch to be connected to the network for subsequent management and simplifying the configuration process during initial use.

Fault Detection and Indication: The status indicators on the front panel can visually reflect the working status of the switch, 

including power status (PWR A, PWR B indicators), EtherNet/IP module status (EIP Mod indicator), network status (EIP Net indicator), 

setup status (Setup indicator), and port status (Port indicator, etc.). 

By observing the colours and flashing status of the indicators, users can quickly determine whether the switch is working properly and find 

and locate faults in time, such as POST failure, port connection problems, etc. 

The switch will perform POST at startup. The switch will perform POST (power-on self-test) at startup, if POST fails, the system status indicator will turn red, 

which indicates that there is a fault in the device and it needs to be checked and repaired accordingly.
