Design
The SCALANCE XF-200 managed Industrial Ethernet switches
are designed for installation on a standard DIN rail. With their
enclosure in ET 200S format (slim design), the devices are
optimally suited for integration in automation solutions in small
control boxes together with the ET200S.
The switches with IP20 degree of protection feature:
•
A 4-pole terminal block for connecting the redundant supply
voltage (2 x 24 V DC)
•
A row of LEDs to indicate the status information (power, link
status, data traffic, power supply, signaling contact)
•
A 2-pole terminal block for connecting the isolated signaling
contact
•
A SET button for on-site configuration of the signaling contact
The SCALANCE XF-200 switches are available with the following
port types:
•
10/100BaseTX, RJ45 connection;
RJ45 socket, automatic detection of the data rate (10 or 100
Mbit/s), with Autosensing and Autocrossover functions for
connecting IE FC cables using the IE FC RJ45 Plug 180.
•
100BaseFX, BFOC connection technique;
BFOC sockets for direct connection to Industrial Ethernet
glass fiber-optic cables up to 5 km (multimode fiber-optic
cable) for configuring line, ring, and star topologies.
■
Function
•
Setup of electrical and optical Industrial Ethernet line, star and
ring topologies
•
Fast redundancy in the ring with High Speed Redundancy
(HSR); up to 0.3 seconds for reconfiguration of the ring with
50 switches in the ring
•
Fast redundancy in the ring with PROFINET-compliant Media
Redundancy Protocol (MRP); max. 0.2 seconds required for
reconfiguration of the ring with 50 switches in the ring
•
The functioning of the ring is continuously monitored by the
integrated redundancy manager. It recognizes failure of a
transmission path in the ring or failure of a SCALANCE XF-200
and activates the substitute path within 0.3 or 0.2 seconds
•
Use in ring topologies (100 Mbit/s) together with
SCALANCE X-400, SCALANCE X-300, SCALANCE X-200,
SCALANCE X-200IRT
•
Uncrossed connecting cables can be used due to
Autocrossover function integrated in the ports
•
Load disconnection through integral switch functionality
•
Easy diagnostics using signaling contact, SNMP and Web
browser
•
Easy copper cable diagnostics with Web browser for
localizing cable breaks
•
Integration into the diagnostics of a PROFINET I/O controller
with expanded diagnostics functions for a consistent
diagnostics concept, including network infrastructure
•
Diagnosis of data traffic by means of a parameterizable mirror
port with a standard commercial network analyzer
•
Fast device replacement in the event of a fault by using the
optional C-PLUG swap medium (not included in scope of
supply)
Network topology and network configuration
The SCALANCE XF-200 Industrial Ethernet switches with IP20
degree of protection are usually installed in a control cabinet
together with the stations to be connected. Electrical and optical
versions can be installed together in star, line and ring topolo-
gies.
When configuring the network, it is necessary to observe the
following boundary conditions:
•
Length of the TP cable between two SCALANCE XF switches:
- Max. 100 m with IE FC cable and IE FC RJ45 Plug 180
- Max. 10 m using patches with TP cord
•
Length of the optical cables
- Max. 5 000 m with Industrial Ethernet glass fiber-optic
cables (multimode)
•
IP address:
The IP address is assigned by means of the DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol). If there is no corresponding
server in the network, the IP address can be assigned using
the supplied software tool PST (Primary Setup Tool) or STEP 7.
The SCALANCE XF-200 switches are configured with STEP 7.
Commissioning and diagnostics
PROFINET diagnostic interrupts from SCALANCE XF-200
switches can be displayed with the appropriate SIMATIC Engi-
neering Tools and processed in the controller with expanded
diagnostics function. The engineering outlay for the PLC and
HMI have been drastically reduced due to the complete integra-
tion in the SIMATIC concept for system error messages.
The SCALANCE XF-200 Industrial Ethernet switches can also be
integrated into a network management system through the
standardized protocol SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol). In the event of a fault in the device, error messages
(SNMP traps) can be sent to a network system or as e-mail to a
specified network administrator.
The integral Web server enables configuration and diagnostics
settings to be made using a standard browser (e.g. port config-
uration). Statistical information can also be read out over the
Web server (e.g. port capacity utilization).
The following information is displayed on site by LEDs:
• Power
•
Port status
•
Data traffic
•
Signaling contact
•
Redundancy manager function
The Industrial Ethernet switches of the SCALANCE XF-200 line
can also be monitored using the floating signaling contact.
