Область применения



The SCALANCE X-200IRT PRO Industrial Ethernet switches permit the construction of isochronous real-time (IRT) Industrial Ethernet line and star topologies. Ring structures can also be designed using the integral redundancy manager (RM). Redundant ring connections are also possible. Thanks to innovative switching technology, the special requirements of automation with regard to line topology, isochronous mode for motion control applications and unlimited IT openness have been satisfied for the first time within a single technology based on the PROFINET standard.

The switches with IP65 protection are designed for cabinet-free mounting (PROFINET-compliant push pull connection technology).

Real-time Ethernet

  • Interfacing of the PROFINET IO Devices to the PROFINET IO Controller through high-performance, optimized data transmission
  • Coexistence of isochronous mode for motion control applications and IT openness:
    Reaction-free transmission of real-time and non-real-time communication on the same line

Also through isochronous real-time (IRT) Ethernet

  • Isochronous real-time communication based on the transmission 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 isochronronous and deterministic response.
    With a cycle time of 1 ms, for example, axes can be controlled in isochronous mode whereby 50% of the bandwidth is available solely for IT communication.

Дизайн


  • The SCALANCE X-200IRT PRO switches with a rugged metal housing to IP65 degree of protection are optimized for mounting on a standard rail and an S7-300 rail. Direct wall mounting in various positions is also possible. Thanks to the S7-300 housing dimensions, the devices are suitable for integration into an automation solution with S7-300 components.
  • The switches with IP65 protection have two 5-pin push-pull connectors via which the supply voltage is fed and forwarded. In addition, the load voltage circuit is also looped through for the ET200pro devices further along the line. The devices with IP65 protection thus have no redundant voltage feed, but permit optimal integration into cabinet-free plant concepts with ET200pro modules.
    The status information (power, link status, data traffic, voltage supply, signaling contact) is indicated by means of a row of LEDs.

The SCALANCE X-200IRT PRO devices are available with the following port types:

  • 10/100BaseTX, push-pull RJ45 connection
    RJ45 port, automatic detection of the data rate (10 or 100 Mbit/s), with Autosensing and Autocrossover function for connecting IE FC cables via IE FC RJ45 Plug PRO over distances up to 100 m
  • 100BaseFX, push-pull SC RJ connections
    SC RJ ports for connection to Industrial Ethernet POF (50 m) and PCF FOC (100 m) using SC RJ plug PRO connectors

Network topology and network configuration

The SCALANCE X-200IRT PRO Industrial Ethernet Switches are usually installed together with the stations to be connected (e.g. ET 200S) directly onto the machine. When configuring the network, it is necessary to observe the following boundary conditions:

  • Length of the TP cable between two SCALANCE X switches:
    • Max. 100 m with IE FC cable and IE FC RJ45 Plug PRO
    • Max. 10 m with TP Cord
  • Length of the optical cables
    • Max. 4000 m with Industrial Ethernet glass fiber-optic cables (62.5/125 µm)
    • Max. 5000 m with Industrial Ethernet glass fiber-optic cables (50/125 µm)
    • Max. 100 m with Industrial Ethernet PCF fiber-optic cables.
    • Max. 50 m with Industrial Ethernet POF fiber-optic cables.
  • 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 X-200IRT PRO switches and their real-time functions are configured with STEP 7.

Commissioning and diagnostics

PROFINET diagnostic alarms from SCALANCE X-200IRT PRO switches can be displayed with the appropriate SIMATIC Engineering Tools and processed in the control unit. The engineering outlay for the PLC and HMI have been drastically reduced due to the complete integration in the SIMATIC concept for system error messages.

The SCALANCE X-200IRT PRO 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 device fault, error messages (SNMP traps) can be sent to a network system or as e-mail to a specified network manager.

The integral Web server enables configuration and diagnosis settings to be made using a standard browser. Statistical information can also be read out over the Web server. Warning thresholds, and alarms generated by them, permit early recognition of critical fiber states (only with POF). Cable failures (fiber breakage) can thus be avoided, and plant downtimes reduced, since maintenance work can be carried out at an early point in time and outside production periods.

The following information is displayed on site by LEDs:

  • Power
  • Port status
  • Data traffic
  • RM activated
  • POF cable diagnostics (for POF versions only)

The Industrial Ethernet switches of the SCALANCE X-200IRT PRO line can also be monitored over the floating signaling contact.
