■
Overview
The SCALANCE XF204IRT Industrial Ethernet switch is suitable
for the construction of deterministic and isochronous real-time
Industrial Ethernet networks, at data transfer rates of 10/
100 Mbit/s, in line, star, and ring topologies.
•
Connection of up to four terminal units possible
•
Enclosure in ET 200S format (slim design, 75 mm width) for
space-saving use in small control boxes
•
Integrated redundancy manager for constructing Fast
Ethernet ring topologies with fast media redundancy
•
PROFINET diagnostics, SNMP access, integrated web server
and automatic e-mail transmission function for remote
diagnostics and signaling via the network
Product versions
SCALANCE XF204IRT
•
For setting up electrical Industrial Ethernet line, star or ring
topologies with four electrical ports (ET 200S design)
■
Benefits
•
Optimized startup behavior (link setup, data forwarding) of
PROFINET network components and IO Devices through fast
start-up functionality
•
Lower susceptibility to failure and higher availability of the
plant networking due to latching of the RJ45 FastConnect
connectors in the sleeve of the RJ45 ports
•
Simple connection and disconnection of the RJ45 plug by
means of easily accessible RJ45 sockets angled downward
on the device
•
High network availability in ring topologies, without reconfigu-
ration times, when using the PROFINET-compliant MRPD
process (

according to IEC 61158)
•
Protection of investment through integration into existing
network management systems, such as SINEMA Server, by
means of standardized SNMP access
•
Time savings during engineering, commissioning and in the
operating phase of a plant by using the configuration and
diagnostics integrated in STEP 7
■
Application
The SCALANCE XF204IRT Industrial Ethernet switch permits the
construction of isochronous real-time (IRT) Industrial Ethernet
line and star topologies. Thanks to innovative switching technol-
ogy, the special requirements of automation with regard to line
topology, isochronous mode for motion control applications, and
unlimited IT openness are satisfied within a single technology
based on the PROFINET standard.
Features:
•
Device diagnostics with LEDs (power, link status, data
communication)
•
Remote diagnostics is possible through signaling contact
(signal mask can be set locally using buttons), PROFINET,
SNMP, and web browser
•
Automatic e-mail send function
•
The RJ45 sockets are designed to be industry-compatible
with additional sleeves, for connection of the
IE FC RJ45 Plug 180
Real-Time Ethernet
•
Interfacing of the PROFINET IO Devices to the PROFINET IO
Controller through high-performance, optimized data trans-
mission
•
Coexistence of isochronous mode for motion control applica-
tions and IT openness:
Reaction-free transmission of real-time and non-real-time
communication on the same line
Additionally through isochronous real-time (IRT) Ethernet
•
Isochronous real-time communication based on the trans-
mission procedure of the IEEE 802 standard by combining the
switching mechanisms "Cut Through" and "Store and Forward"
•
For drive controls, PROFINET with isochronous real-time is the
best performing system worldwide with regard to its isochron-
ronous and deterministic response.
For example, with a cycle time of 1 ms, axes can be controlled
in isochronous mode while 50% of the bandwidth is available
at the same time for IT communication without restriction.
