Compact Switch Module CSM 377


Operating Instructions, Edition 11/07, A2B00073499E 5
Introduction
1.2 Introduction

Standards and approvals


The CSM 377 compact switch module meets the requirements for the CE, UL, C-Tick, FM
and ATEX marks. You will find detailed information in the section "Approvals and Markings"
in this commissioning manual in the "Approvals" table.

Note
The specified approvals apply only when the corresponding mark is printed on the product.

1.2 Introduction

What is possible?
The CSM 377 device allows the cost-effective installation of Industrial Ethernet bus or star
structures with switching functionality.

Note
It is not possible to use the CSM 377 switch in a redundant ring because it does not support
redundancy.

Note
If the CSM 377 switch is supplied over long 24 V power supply lines or networks, measures
are necessary to prevent interference by strong electromagnetic pulses on the supply lines.
These can result, for example, due to lightning or switching of large inductive loads.
One of the tests used to attest the immunity of the switch to electromagnetic interference
was the "surge immunity test" according to EN61000-4-5. This test requires overvoltage
protection for the power supply lines. A suitable device is, for example, the Dehn Blitzductor
VT AD 24 V type no. 918 402 or comparable protective element.
Manufacturer:
DEHN+SÖHNE GmbH+Co.KG Hans Dehn Str.1 Postfach 1640 D-92306 Neumarkt,
Germany

WARNING
When used under hazardous conditions (zone 2), the CSM 377 switch must be installed in
an enclosure.
To comply with ATEX 95 (EN 60079-15), this enclosure must be at least IP54 in
compliance with EN 60529.
WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD: DO NOT DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT WHEN A
FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE ATMOSPHERE IS PRESENT.

NOTICE
TP cords or TP-XP cords with a maximum length of 10 m can be connected to the RJ-45
TP port.
With the IE FC cables and IE FC RJ-45 plug 180, an overall cable length of up to 100 m is
permitted between two devices depending on the cable type.

Autonegotiation
Autonegotiation means the automatic detection of the functionality of the port at the opposite
end. Using autonegotiation, network components or end devices can detect the functionality
available at the port of a partner device allowing automatic configuration of different types of
device. With autonegotiation, two components connected to a link segment can exchange
parameters and set themselves to match the supported communication functionality.

Operating Instructions, Edition 11/07, A2B00073499E 11
Product properties
3.4 TP ports

Note
Devices not supporting autonegotiation must be set to 100 Mbps/ half duplex or 10 Mbps half
duplex.

Note
The CSM 377 is a plug-and-play device that does not require settings to be made for
commissioning.

Auto polarity exchange


If the pair of receiving cables are incorrectly connected (RD+ and RD- swapped over), the
polarity is adapted automatically.

MDI /MDIX autocrossover function


The advantage of the MDI /MDIX autocrossover function is that straight-through cables can
be used throughout and crossover Ethernet cables are unnecessary. This prevents
malfunctions resulting from mismatching send and receive wires. This makes installation
much easier for the user.

NOTICE
Please note that the direct connection of two ports on the switch or accidental connection
over several switches causes an illegal loop. Such a loop can lead to network overload and
network failures.

Note
The number of connected switches influences the frame delay.
When a frame passes through the CSM 377, it is delayed by the store and forward function
of the switch
- with a 64 byte frame length by approx. 8 µs (at 100 Mbps)
- with a 1500 byte frame length by approx. 125 µs (at 100 Mbps)
This means that the more CSM 377 switches that a frame passes through, the higher the
frame delay will be.

Glossary

Aging time
The aging time is the time after which a learned MAC address is discarded if a CSM 377 has
not received frames with this sender address during this time.

Autocrossover
Technique with which a TP port is automatically switched over between MDI and MDI-X
assignment to make a connection independent of the port assignment of the device being
attached. This means that crossover cables are not required. The autocrossover function
can only be used when the port is set to autonegotiation mode.

Autonegotiation
Procedure standardized by IEEE 802.3 in which the transmission parameters (for example
10/100 Mbps, full/half duplex) are negotiated automatically between the devices.

CRC
Cyclic Redundancy Check. A checksum used in transmission protocols to detect errors in
frames.

Multicast
A frame with a multicast address is received by all nodes prepared to receive this address.

Segment
In the Ethernet bus system, transceivers connected together over the bus cable along with
the nodes connected over patch cables form a segment. Several such segments can be
connected via repeaters. When using twisted pair and fiber-optic cables, each subsection
forms a segment.
