Mounting Dimensions

DIN Rail Mounting

The aluminum DIN rail attachment

plate should be fixed to the back

panel of the

IMC-21GA when you

take it out of the box. If you need to

reattach the DIN

rail attachment

plate to the

IMC-21GA, make sure

the stiff metal spring is situated

towards the top.

Wiring Requirements

ATTENTION

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or

wiring your IMC

-21GA.

Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and

common wire. Observe all electrical codes

dictating the

maximum current allowable for each wire size.

If the current goes above the maximum rating, the wiring could

overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.

•Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power

wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are

perpendicular at the intersection point.

- 5 -

•Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in the

same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal

characteristics should be routed separately.

•You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to

determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is

that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be

bundled together.

•Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.

•We strongly advise that you label wiring to all devices in the system.

Grounding the IMC-21GA

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects

of noise due to electromagnetic interference

(EMI). Run the ground connection from the

ground screw to the grounding surface prior to

connecting devices

ATTENTION

This pro

duct is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded

mounting surface such as a metal panel.

Wiring the Power Inputs

The 4-contact terminal block connector on the IMC-21GA’s top panel is

used for the IMC-21GA’s two DC inputs. Top and front views of one of the

terminal block connectors are shown here.

STEP 1:

Insert the negative/positive DC wires

into the V

-/V+ terminals.

STEP 2: To keep the DC wires from pulling loose,

use a small flat

blade screwdriver to tighten the

wire

-clamp screws on the front of the terminal

block connector.

STEP 3:

Insert the plastic terminal block

connector prongs into the terminal block receptor

located on IMC

-21GA’s top panel.

Redundant Power Inputs

Both power inputs can be connected simultaneously to live DC power

sources. If one power source fails, the other live source acts as a backup,

and automatically supplies all of the IMC-21GA’s power needs.

1000BaseSFP Fiber Port Connection

The Gigabit Ethernet ports on the IMC-21GA are 1000BaseSFP Fiber ports,

which require using Gigabit mini-GBIC fiber transceivers to work

properly.

The concept behind the LC port and cable is straightforward. Suppose you

are connecting devices I and II; contrary to electrical signals, optical

signals do not require a circuit in order to transmit data. Consequently,

one of the optical lines is used to transmit data from device I to device II,

and the other optical line is used transmit data from device II to device I,

for full-duplex transmission.

Remember to connect the Tx (transmit) port of device I to the Rx (receive)

port of device II, and the Rx (receive) port of device I to the Tx (transmit)

port of device II. If you make your own cable, we suggest labeling the two

sides of the same line with the same letter (A-to-A and B-to-B, as shown

below, or A1-to-A2 and B1-to-B2).

1000BaseSX/LX Fiber Port (IMC-21GA-SX-SC,

The concept behind the SC port and cable is straightforward. Suppose you

are connecting devices I and II. Contrary to electrical signals, optical

signals do not require a circuit in order to transmit data. Consequently,

one of the optical lines is used to transmit data from device I to device II,

and the other optical line is used transmit data from device II to device I,

for full-duplex transmission.

All you need to remember is to connect the Tx (transmit) port of device I

to the Rx (receive) port of device II, and the Rx (receive) port of device I

to the Tx (transmit) port of device II. If you make your own cables, we

suggest labeling the two sides of the same line with the same letter

(A-to-A and B-to-B, as shown below, or A1-to-A2 and B1-to-B2).

ATTENTION

The IMC

-21GA is only compatible with transceiver modules from

Moxa's SFP

-1G series and SFP-1FE series. If you are using the

SFP

-1FESLC-T, SFP-1FELLC-T, or SFP-1FEMLC-T, use version

V1.3 or above to ensure that the IMC

-21GA's media converter

functionality works properly.

ATTENTI

This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. To avoid causing serious

damage to your eyes, do not stare directly into the laser beam.

Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection

The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the Moxa

IMC-21GA’s 10/100/1000BaseT(X) ports to any kind of Ethernet device,

regardless of the type of Ethernet cable used for the connection. This

means that you can use either a straight-through cable or cross-over

cable to connect the IMC to Ethernet devices.

Auto-Negotiation and Speed Sensing

All of the IMC-21GA’s RJ45 Ethernet ports independently support

auto-negotiation for transmission speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps , and

1000 Mbps, with operation according to the IEEE 802.3u standard.

This means that some nodes could be operating at 10 Mbps, while at the

same time, other nodes are operating at 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps.

Auto-negotiation takes place when an RJ45 cable connection is made, and

then each time a LINK is enabled. The IMC-21GA advertises its capability

for using 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps transmission speeds, with the

device at the other end of the cable expected to advertise similarly.

Depending on what type of device is connected, this will result in

agreement to operate at a speed of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps.

If the IMC-21GA’s RJ45 Ethernet port is connected to a non-negotiating

device, it will default to 10 Mbps speed and half-duplex mode, as required

by the IEEE 802.3u standard.
