1The Modular Managed Switch System (MMS) and the
Managed Compact Switch (MCS)
1.1Properties (MMS)
The Modular Managed Switch (Modular Managed Switch System - MMS) is an Ethernet
switch, which is suitable for industrial use and consists of a head station, extension
modules, and interface modules. The head station and extension modules contain the
entire Ethernet switching technology. Interface modules provide the interface to the desired
physical transmission method. An extension module can be used to extend the head station
from eight ports to 16 ports, and the use of two extension modules gives a maximum of
24 ports. The desired transmission medium can be freely selected using the various
interface modules.
Figure 1-1The Modular Managed Switch System
1.2Future-proof networks for the highest possible
requirements
Transmission method10/100 Mbps polymer/HCS fibers on the MMS
Easy to assemble polymer fibers can now also be used for Ethernet. This cost-effective fiber
optic technology can cover distances of up to 50 m. This provides cost savings both during
installation and for maintenance when replacing mechanically damaged fiber optic cables.
HCS fiber technology is available for distances of up to 300 m.
Unless stated otherwise, all information in this manual is valid for the FL SWITCH MM HS
and FL SWITCH MM HS/M modular devices, as well as for the FL MXT and FL MXT/M
extension stations, and the FL SWITCH MCS 16TX and FL SWITCH MCS 14TX/2FX
compact devices.
A device design that does not use a fan, the redundant power supply, and conformance with
all relevant industrial standards in terms of EMC, climate, mechanical load, etc. ensure the
highest possible level of availability.
Redundancy can also be created with standards: the (Rapid) Spanning Tree Protocol or
MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol) ensure the safe operation of the entire network
regardless of topology, even in the event of a cable interrupt.
All informationClear information
You can label your device clearly using the large labeling field, and read operating states
and additional information from the two-digit 7-segment display. Two LEDs per port with
switchable information ensure that you always have sufficient local information. A web
server and an SNMP agent are provided for diagnostics, maintenance, and configuration
via the network. A terminal access point can be used for local operation.
Port mirroringPort mirroring can be used to monitor data traffic on the network connections.
ModularityModular structure of the MMS
Depending on your requirements, you can create a compact switch for the control cabinet
(with convenient connections on the front) or a switch for the terminal box (with connections
at the bottom). It is also possible to add a glass fiber interface or extend your existing station
from 8/16 ports to a maximum of 24 ports.
Figure 1-2Possible system hardware
PROFINETThe switches can be operated in PC WorX and Step 7 environments as conformance
class B PROFINET IO devices. Connections to PLC systems can be easily implemented for
diagnostic and communication applications.

Ethernet/IPIn the Ethernet/IP environment the switches support the IGMP snooping function and
multicast filtering.
Smart modeFor easy configuration, the switches support Smart mode in which the operating state can
be changed without WBM.
Features and fields of application of the MMS and MCS
–Increased network performance by filtering data traffic:
- Local data traffic remains local.
- The data volume in the network segments is reduced.
–Easy network expansion and network configuration.
–Coupling segments with different transmission speeds.

–Increased availability through the use of redundant transmission paths with Rapid
Spanning Tree. Support of various topologies and meshed structures as well as ring
topologies with special ring detection. Fast switch-over times with RSTP fast ring
detection.
–Configuration of switches using web-based management, SNMP, Telnet or locally via
a V.24 (RS-232) interface.
–Multicast filtering (static and dynamic).
–IGMP snooping, optional querier function.
–VLAN support according to 802.1Q (32 VLANs).
–Port security functions.
–Access control for web-based management (WBM).
–Optimum support of the PROFINET RT and Ethernet/IP automation
protocols.
–Integration in PROFINET environments.
–Topology detection using LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol).

(in conjunction with the "FL IF MEM 2TX-D/MRM" interface module for the MMS or the
"FL MEM PLUG/MRM" interface module for the MCS). The MRP ring can thus be
created using any MMS/MCS ports, they simply have to be defined.
1.2.1System components (MMS)
Central element
FL SWITCH MM HS
The head station is the central element of the Modular Managed Switch System. It contains
all the management functions, and the interface modules provide it with the desired
interfaces to the network. Up to two extension modules can be connected to a head station,
which means that the maximum system configuration comprises 24 Ethernet ports.
FL SWITCH MM HS/MThanks to certification according to Germanischer Lloyd (GL Certificate No. 2427504 HH),
the FL SWITCH MM HS/M head station, the FL MXT/M extension module, and some of the
available interface modules have been approved for shipbuilding and
off/onshore applications. Please observe the list of GL-certified components on page 12-9.
Please also observe the notes for supply voltage connection on page 2-11.
Extension module
FL MXT
An extension module provides another 8 ports, which can be individually equipped with
interface modules. A maximum of 2 extension modules can be connected to the head
station. The maximum system configuration therefore comprises 24 ports.
FL MXT/MThe FL MXT/M extension module is approved for shipbuilding and off/onshore applications
thanks to its certification according to GL (Certificate No. 2427504 HH).
Interface modules
FL IF ...
Interface modules provide the desired interface to the network. The two outlet directions,
the various types of media supported, and the port density of two ports per interface module
provide a high degree of flexibility in terms of the system configuration.
NOTE: Always switch off the supply voltage before inserting or removing extension
modules (FL MXT).
Do not connect more than two extension modules (FL MXT) to one head station.
It is not possible to operate the extension modules without the head station.
Please observe the list of GL-certified components on page 12-9.

Mount the head station/MCS on a clean DIN rail according to DIN EN 50 022
(e.g., NS 35 ... from Phoenix Contact). To avoid contact resistance only use clean,
corrosion-free DIN rails. Before mounting the modules, an end clamp (E/NS 35N, Order No.
08 00 88 6) should be mounted on the left-hand side next to the head station/MCS to stop
the modules from slipping on the DIN rail. The supplied ATP-ST-TWIN side cover (see "A"
in Figure 2-4) and the end clamp should only be mounted on the right-hand side once the
last extension module has been mounted.
Mounting:
1. Place the module onto the DIN rail from above (A). The upper holding keyway must be
hooked onto the top edge of the DIN rail. Push the module from the front towards the
mounting surface (B).
Figure 2-1Snapping the head station onto the DIN rail
2. Once the module has been snapped on properly, check that it is fixed securely on the
DIN rail. Check whether the positive latches are facing upwards, i.e., snapped on
correctly.
NOTE: Always switch off the supply voltage when mounting/removing the head
station/MCS and extension modules.
1. Insert the interface modules in the slots of the basic modules. The guide bars on the top
of the interface modules must be pushed into the guide slots of the basic module
without tilting them.
Figure 2-6Mounting interface modules
2. Now push the interface modules towards the basic module until the connector and the
holding clamp are snapped into place.
NOTE: Ensure that the surface of the head station or extension module housing is clean.
NOTE: If the FL SWITCH MM HS with two FL MXT extension modules is additionally
operated with one FL IF MEM 2TX-D memory module and up to four FL IF POF SCRJ-D
interface modules at the same time, the arrangement according to Section "Arrangement
of the interface modules" on page 2-7 must be observed.
Hot plugging
When inserting and removing interface modules, you do not have to switch off the supply
voltage. The interface modules are detected automatically and logged to the network
management.
If the FL SWITCH MM HS with two FL MXT extension modules is additionally operated with
one FL IF MEM 2TX-D memory module and up to four FL IF POF SCRJ-D interface
modules at the same time, the following arrangement must be observed.
The FL M LABEL labeling field (Order No. 2891055) can be used to individually identify the
ports of the switch. The labeling field can be attached to the top of the device or to the MMS
extension modules.

2.6FL MEM PLUG (accessories)
Figure 2-14Switch with MEM PLUG inserted
As shown in Figure 2-14, insert the FL MEM PLUG memory module in the appropriate M12
female connector on the bottom of the MCS. Once inserted, carefully turn the safety screw
clockwise.
To remove the MEM PLUG, perform the above in reverse order.
The MEM PLUG can be inserted and removed during operation.
24 V DCThe system is operated using a 24 V DC voltage, which is applied at the head station or
MCS. If required, the voltage can also be supplied redundantly (see Figure 2-16).
Figure 2-15Supplying the system using one voltage source
Redundant 24 V DC supply
Figure 2-16Supplying the system using two voltage sources
If redundant power supply monitoring is active (default setting), an error is indicated if only
one voltage is applied. A bridge between US1 and US2 (dotted line connection) prevents
this error message. It is also possible to deactivate monitoring in web-based management
or via SNMP.
2.7.2Connecting the supply voltage to the FL SWITCH MM HS/M
for GL-certified operation
24 V DCThe system is operated using a 24 V DC voltage, which is applied at the head station. If
required, the voltage can also be supplied redundantly (see Figure 2-18).
Figure 2-17Supplying the system using one voltage source
NOTE: For GL-certified operation, an NEF 1- 3 filter (for Environmental Category EMC2)
or NEF 1- 6 (for EMC1) must be used and the components must be installed in a metal
control cabinet.
If redundant power supply monitoring is active (default setting), an error is indicated if only
one voltage is applied. A bridge between US1 and US2 (dotted line connection) prevents
this error message. It is also possible to deactivate monitoring in web-based management
or via SNMP.

In the event of non-redundant power supply, the switch indicates a supply voltage failure
by opening the alarm contact. This error message can be prevented by connecting the
supply voltage to both terminals in parallel, as shown in Figure 2-15 or Figure 2-17 (for GL
on the MMS), or by deactivating redundant power supply monitoring in web-based
management.
2.7.4V.24 (RS-232) interface for external management
The 6-pos. Mini-DIN female connector provides a serial interface to connect a local
management station. It can be used to connect a VT100 terminal or a PC with
corresponding terminal emulation to the management interface (for an appropriate cable,
please refer to page 12-9). Set the following transmission parameters:

Figure 2-20Assignment of the V.24 (RS-232) interface
2.8Grounding
All Factory Line devices must be grounded so that any possible interference is shielded
from the data telegram and discharged to ground potential.
A wire of at least 2.5 mm
2
must be used for grounding. When mounting on a DIN rail, the DIN
rail must be connected with protective earth ground using grounding terminal blocks. The
module is connected to protective earth ground via the metal base element.

–All counters of the SNMP agent are deleted.
–The web and Telnet server, SNMP agent, and V.24 (RS-232) interface are active.
–Port mirroring, Rapid Spanning Tree, MRP, access control for web interface, port
security, multicast filtering, VLAN, DHCP relay agent option 82, and LLDP are
deactivated.
–Port security is deactivated for all ports.
–Access control for WBM is deactivated.
–The alarm contact only opens in the event of non-redundant power supply and a
detected PoE error.
–The transmission of SNMP traps is deactivated and the switch has no valid trap
destination IP address.
–The aging time is set to 40 seconds.
–The switch is in "Ethernet" mode (default settings).
–The WBM refresh interval is set to 30 seconds.
–Management is in VLAN 1.
–The SNTP function (automatic setting of the system time) is deactivated.
–PROFINET and Ethernet/IP are deactivated.
The basic Ethernet functions do not have to be configured and are available when the
supply voltage is switched on.
The aging time is set using the "dot1dTpAgingTime" MIB object
(OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.2). The available setting range is 10 - 825 seconds. For static
configuration, an aging time of 300 seconds is recommended.
During switch restart, the active configuration including IP parameters is written to a
plugged-in memory module or MEM plug.
Smart mode enables the user to change the operating mode of the switch without having to
access the management interface.
The switch offers the following setting options via Smart mode:
–Reset to default settings
–Set PROFINET mode
–Set Ethernet/IP mode
–Exit Smart mode without changes
3.2.1Activating Smart mode
The mode button is used to call/exit Smart mode and to select the desired setting. The three
mo de L EDs indicate the mode tha t is cur rently set and the mode that is entered when exiting
Smart mode.
3.2.1.1Calling Smart mode
•Once the switch has booted, as soon as the three mode LEDs go out press and hold
down the mode button for at least five seconds. When Smart mode is active, the three
LEDs flash.
•When Smart mode is started, the switch is initially in the "Exit without changes" state.
3.2.1.2Selecting the desired setting
•To select the various settings, press the mode button briefly and select the desired
operating mode.
3.2.1.3Exiting Smart mode
•To exit, press and hold down the mode button for at least five seconds. The previously
selected operating mode is saved.
3.2.1.4Possible operating modes in Smart mode
The switch supports the selection of the following operating modes in Smart mode (see also
example below):
When the supply voltage is switched on or the reset button is pressed, the switch sends
requests (BootP requests) to assign IP parameters.
The assignment of valid IP parameters is vital to the management function of the switch.
Options for assigning IP parameters:
–Configuration via the BootP protocol (default upon delivery)
–Static configuration via the management interfaces
–DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
–DCP (Discovery and Configuration Protocol)
3.2.2.1Valid IP parameters
IP parameters comprise the following three elements: "IP address", "subnet mask", and
"default gateway/router".
Valid IP addresses are:
000.000.000.001 to 126.255.255.255
128.000.000.000 to 223.255.255.255
Valid multicast addresses are:
224.000.000.001 to 239.255.255.255
Valid subnet masks are:
255.000.000.000 to 255.255.255.252
Default gateway/router:
The IP address of the gateway/router must be in the same subnetwork as the address of the
switch.
3.2.2.2Assigning IP addresses
The IP address is a 32-bit address, which consists of a network part and a user part. The
network part consists of the network class and the network address.
There are currently five defined network classes; Classes A, B, and C are used in modern
applications, while Classes D and E are hardly ever used. It is therefore usually sufficient if
a network device only "recognizes" Classes A, B, and C.

The button must be held down for a few seconds to trigger a reset.
The "BootP" function can be deactivated via the management. By default upon delivery,
the "BootP" function is activated.
If the switch has not received any valid IP parameters, "01" or "dc" appears in the display
and one of the mode LEDs (ACT, 100 or FD) flashes.
Section 4.1.2 on page 4-1 describes the assignment of IP parameters with Factory
Manager 2.1.
With binary representation of the IP address, the network class is represented by the first
bits. The key factor is the number of "ones" before the first "zero". The assignment of
classes is shown in the following table. The empty cells in the table are not relevant to the
network class and are already used for the network address.
The bits for the network class are followed by those for the network address and the user
address. Depending on the network class, a different number of bits are available, both for
the network address (network ID) and the user address (host ID).
IP addresses can be represented in decimal or hexadecimal form. In decimal notation,
bytes are separated by dots (dotted decimal notation) to show the logical grouping of the
individual bytes.

Class A7 bits24 bits
Class B14 bits16 bits
Class C21 bits8 bits
Class D28-bit multicast identifier
Class E27 bits (reserved)
The decimal points do not divide the address into a network and user address. Only the
value of the first bits (before the first "zero") specifies the network class and thus the
number of remaining bits in the address.
3.2.2.3Special IP addresses for special applications
Certain IP addresses are reserved for special functions. The following addresses should not
be used as standard IP addresses.
127.x.x.x addresses
The Class A network address "127" is reserved for a loopback function on all computers,
regardless of the network class. This loopback function may only be used on networked
computers for internal test purposes.
If a telegram is addressed to a computer with the value 127 in the first byte, the receiver
immediately sends the telegram back to the transmitter.
Correct installation and configuration of the TCP/IP software, for example, can be checked
in this way.
As Layers 1 and 2 of the ISO/OSI reference model are not included in the test they should
be tested separately using the ping function.
Value 255 in the byte
Value 255 is defined as a broadcast address. The telegram is sent to all the computers that
are in the same part of the network. Examples: 004.255.255.255, 198.2.7.255 or
255.255.255.255 (all the computers in all the networks). If the network is divided into
subnetworks, the subnet masks must be observed during calculation, otherwise some
devices may be omitted. Simplified: The last address of an area is reserved as the
broadcast address.
0.x.x.x addresses
Value 0 is the ID of the specific network. If the IP address starts with a zero, the receiver is
in the same network. Example: 0.2.1.1 refers to device 2.1.1 in this network.
The zero previously signified the broadcast address. If older devices are used,
unauthorized broadcast and complete overload of the entire network (broadcast storm) may
occur when using the IP address 0.x.x.x.
3.2.2.4Subnet masks
Routers and gateways divide large networks into several subnetworks. The IP addresses
for individual devices are assigned to specific subnetworks by the subnet mask. The
network part of an IP address is not modified by the subnet mask. An extended IP address
is generated from the user address and subnet mask. Because the masked subnetwork is
only recognized by the local computers, this extended IP address appears as a standard IP
address to all the other devices.
Structure of the subnet mask
The subnet mask always contains the same number of bits as an IP address. The subnet
mask has the same number of bits (in the same position) set to "one", which is reflected in
the IP address for the network class.
Example: An IP address from Class A contains a 1-byte network address and a 3-byte
computer address. Therefore, the first byte of the subnet mask may only contain "ones".
The remaining bits (three bytes) then contain the address of the subnetwork and the
computer. The extended IP address is created when the bits of the IP address and the bits
of the subnet mask are ANDed. Because the subnetwork is only recognized by local
devices, the corresponding IP address appears as a "normal" IP address to all the other
devices.
Application
If the ANDing of the address bits gives the local network address and the local subnetwork
address, the device is located in the local network. If the ANDing gives a different result, the
data telegram is sent to the subnetwork router.
Example for a Class B subnet mask:
Using this subnet mask, the TCP/IP protocol software differentiates between the devices
that are connected to the local subnetwork and the devices that are located in other
subnetworks.
Example: Device 1 wants to establish a connection with device 2 using the above subnet
mask. Device 2 has IP address 59.EA.55.32.
IP address representation for device 2:
The individual subnet mask and the IP address for device 2 are then ANDed bit-by-bit by the
software to determine whether device 2 is located in the local subnetwork.
ANDing the subnet mask and IP address for device 2:
After ANDing, the software determines that the relevant subnetwork (01) does not
correspond to the local subnetwork (11) and the data telegram is forwarded to a subnetwork
router.
If DHCP is selected as the assignment mechanism, the DHCP server must offer a DHCP
lease time of at least five minutes, so that the switch accepts the assigned IP parameters.
For GL-certified operation, only the interface modules listed in the table below are
permitted.

3.3.1.2Functions
–Auto negotiation
Auto negotiation is a method whereby the switch automatically detects the operating
parameters for the connected network and sets the corresponding parameters
(10 Mbps or 100 Mbps data transmission rate and half or full duplex transmission
mode) for its RJ45 ports. Automatic port setting eliminates the need for manual
intervention by the user. The auto negotiation function can be activated/deactivated via
the web interface.
–Auto crossing
There is no need to distinguish between 1:1 and crossover cables, as the transmit and
receive cables are crossed automatically.
–Auto polarity
The polarity is changed automatically by the switch if a pair of twisted pair receive
cables (RD+ and RD-) are connected incorrectly.

3.3.8.3Function of the memory module
–When saving data to the Flash memory of the device, the data is also transmitted to a
plugged-in memory module.
The function/application of the FL IF MEM 2TX-D/MRM is described in Section "Media
Redundancy Protocol (MRP)" on page 6-1.
NOTE: If the FL SWITCH MM HS with two FL MXT extension modules is additionally
operated with one FL IF MEM 2TX-D memory module and up to four FL IF POF SCRJ-D
interface modules at the same time, the arrangement according to Section "Arrangement
of the interface modules" on page 2-7 must be observed.
Make sure that only one memory module is inserted. If more than one module is inserted,
the switch indicates error code "87" on the display. Remove all but one of the memory
modules and restart the switch.
The memory module is supported by firmware Version 2.03 or later. Firmware Versions
< 2.03 treat the memory module as a "standard" FL IF 2TX VS-RJ.
The use of memory modules requires the application of system bus firmware 4.20 or later
in the head station. The system bus firmware for your head station is displayed on the
"Device Information/General" web page.
Hot plugging
When inserting and removing interface modules, you do not have to switch off the supply
voltage. The interface modules are detected automatically and logged to the network
management.
If the module is removed when saving, the configuration is not saved. The saving
procedure is finished as soon as the display no longer indicates "SC" or when the status
"Current Configuration was saved" is indicated on the "Configuration Management"
web page.
If an interface module is inserted in a MMS that has already been parameterized, the
existing configuration remains active.
If the user resets the module to the settings default upon delivery, the configuration is also
saved on the memory module. See "Default upon delivery/default settings" on page 3-1.
–Data is stored to the Flash memory of the head station and in the memory module:
- After a system startup
- On request by the user
–When starting the MMS, the data is read from a plugged-in memory module (display
indicates "OP") and used as the active configuration. The data in the Flash memory is
overwritten by the data from the memory module.

Auto crossing is only available if auto negotiation is activated.
Ports that are not being used are considered cable interrupts. In addition, a TP/TX path to
a deactivated termination device is also considered a cable interrupt, as the connected
device cannot send a link test pulse because it is switched off.
The PoE interface module is supported by firmware Version 4.0 or later. Firmware
Versions < 4.0 treat the module as a standard RJ45 interface module. The module can
operate in PoE mode without management and without support from the firmware and
hardware (system bus) (see note below). No configuration options and no diagnostic data
are available, connected termination devices are nevertheless supplied with power.
The use of the PoE interface module requires the application of system bus firmware 5.00
or later in the head station and system bus firmware 4.00 or later in the extension modules.
If this requirement is not met in the head station or in any extension module, then PoE
management is not available in the entire system. The system bus firmware is displayed
on the "Device Information/General" web page.
–Up to twelve PoE interface modules with a total of 24 ports can be operated at the same
time in a MMS.
–Configuration is still possible if the interface module is not plugged in or the

There is no need to distinguish between 1:1 and crossover cables, as the transmit and
receive cables are crossed automatically.
–Auto polarity
The polarity is changed automatically by the switch if a pair of twisted pair receive
cables (RD+ and RD-) are connected incorrectly.
–Line monitoring
The switch uses link test pulses according to standard IEEE 802.3 at regular intervals
to monitor the connected TP/TX cable segments for short circuits and interrupts.
3.3.9.3Network connection
See "FL IF 2TX VS-RJ ..." on page 3-10 and onwards.
3.3.9.4Connecting the 48 V PoE supply voltage
Connecting the PoE supply
The connector for the PoE supply is located on the bottom of the interface module. Please
observe the keying on the connector when inserting it.
The module has a green LED for each port, which indicates the PoE mode. The LED is
active if the PoE supply and a PD (powered device) are connected. The LED flashes if the
module is supplied with less than 48 V.
Figure 3-17Connecting the PoE voltage connector
Auto crossing is only available if auto negotiation is activated.
Ports that are not being used are considered cable interrupts. In addition, a TP/TX path to
a deactivated termination device is also considered a cable interrupt, as the connected
device cannot send a link test pulse because it is switched off.
The PoE configuration options are also available if no PoE interface module is inserted. If
a PoE interface module is inserted, the configuration is transmitted to the module after a
few seconds.
Connect the 48 V PoE supply to terminals 1 (+) and 2 (-). The terminals are bridged within
the module. The bridges are located between terminals 1 and 3, and between terminals 2
and 4. The bridges can be used to supply voltage to a maximum of three additional PoE
interface modules. The supply voltage to additional PoE interface modules must be
supplied by power supply units.
When the interface modules are inserted, they are preset with a data transmission rate of
100 Mbps and full duplex mode, and link monitoring is not activated for the fiber optic ports.
3.3.10.2Functions
–Line monitoring
According to standard IEEE 802.3, the switch monitors the connected fiber optic cables
for interrupts.
–Far End Fault Detection indicates that the connection in the direction of the partner is
not OK (the partner does not indicate a link) and therefore at least one fiber within the
fiber optic cable is faulty or has not been assembled correctly.
3.3.10.3Connecting the SCRJ connectors
NOTE: If the FL SWITCH MM HS with two FL MXT extension modules is additionally
operated with one FL IF MEM 2TX-D memory module and up to four FL IF POF SCRJ-D
interface modules at the same time, the arrangement according to Section "Arrangement
of the interface modules" on page 2-7 must be observed.
Hot plugging
When inserting and removing interface modules, you do not have to switch off the supply
voltage. The interface modules are detected automatically and logged to the network
management.
If the FL IF 2POF SCRJ ... interface is removed and another interface type is inserted in its
place, the ports are set to auto negotiation.
If a fiber optic interface module is inserted in a MMS that has already been parameterized,
the existing configuration remains active.
–The data transmission rate is set to 100 Mbps
–The duplex method is set to full duplex
If the module is removed, auto negotiation is enabled.
Ports that are not being used are considered cable interrupts. In addition, a fiber optic path
to a deactivated termination device is also considered a cable interrupt, as the connected
device cannot send a link test pulse because it is switched off.
To prevent dirt from entering the connectors, do not remove the dust protection caps until
just before connecting the connectors. The same applies for the protective caps on the
connectors.
Very detailed information about the SCRJ modules is available in WBM (see Section
""Ports/POF Port Table" menu" on page 4-29), e.g., the port system reserve, alarms or port
states are displayed.
6 8 7 4 0 0 2 0
When connecting two fiber optic interface modules, note the signal direction of the fiber
optics. The fiber connection is always from the transmitter to the receiver. The SCRJ
connectors, which are connected using a support, are keyed to ensure that the
assignment of the transmit and receive direction is correct.

The maximum length of the fiber optic cables depends on the interface module/fiber type
used.
The following states can be displayed under "Transceiver status":
–"System Hardware does not support diagnosable POF modules" (this hardware does
not support POF-SCRJ diagnostics)
–"No POF-SCRJ Interface modules present" (no POF-SCRJ module is plugged in)
–"POF-SCRJ Interface module is present and OK" (the system reserve is greater than
2 dB and is displayed under "RX system reserve")
–"POF-SCRJ Interface module is present, but the system reserve is low" (the system
reserve is less than 2 dB, but greater than 0 dB)
–"POF-SCRJ Interface module is present, but the system reserve is exhausted" (no
system reserve available - the received optical power is below the required minimum
value)
The actual value of the system reserve can read by the Profinet engeneering and also be
used for Profinet alarms.
The MMS/MCS operates in store-and-forward mode. When receiving a data packet, the
switch analyzes the source and destination addresses. The switch stores up to 8000 MAC
addresses with an adjustable aging time of 10 to 825 seconds in its address table.
3.4.1Store-and-forward
All data telegrams that are received by the switch are saved and their validity is checked.
Invalid or faulty data packets (> 1522 bytes or CRC errors) and fragments (< 64 bytes) are
rejected. Valid data telegrams are forwarded by the switch.
3.4.2Multi-address function
The switch learns all the source addresses for each port. Only packets with:
–Unknown source addresses
–A source address for this port
–A multicast/broadcast address
are forwarded to the destination address field via the relevant port. The switch can learn up
to 8000 addresses. This is important when more than one termination device is connected
to one or more ports. In this way, several independent subnetworks can be connected to
one switch.
3.4.3Learning addresses
The switch independently learns the addresses for termination devices, which are
connected via a port, by evaluating the source addresses in the data telegram. When the
MMS/MCS receives a data telegram, it only forwards this data telegram to the port that
connects to the specified device (if the address could be learned beforehand).
The devices can learn up to 8000 addresses and store them in a table. The switch monitors
the age of the learned addresses. The switch automatically deletes address entries from its
address table that have exceeded a specific age (default: 40 seconds, adjustable from 10
to 825 seconds, aging time).
All learned entries are deleted on a restart.
A list of detected MAC addresses can be found in the MAC address table (see Section
""Diagnostics/MAC Address Table" menu" on page 4-40). The MAC address table can be
deleted via "Clear".
The aging time is set using the "dot1dTpAgingTime" MIB object
(OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.2). The available setting range is 10 - 825 seconds. For static
configuration, an aging time of 300 seconds is recommended.
The switch supports two priority queues for adjusting the internal packet processing
sequence (traffic classes according to IEEE 802.1D). Data telegrams that are received are
assigned to these classes according to their priority, which is specified in the
VLAN/prioritization tag:
–Data packets with values between "0" and "3" in the priority field are low (default)
priority.
–Data packets with values between "4" and "7" in the priority field are transmitted via the
switch with high priority.
In addition, the switch enables port-based prioritization of data streams.
3.4.4.1VLAN/prioritization tag
The MMS/MCS processes incoming data packets with regard to the prioritization
information contained in the Ethernet packet (VLAN/prioritization tag).
The tag enables the specification of a priority level from 0 to 7, which the switch assigns to
one of its two internal queues. By default upon delivery, the packets with priorities from 0 to
3 are treated as low-priority packets whereas packets with priorities from 4 to 7 are highpriority Ethernet packets.
The assignment of priority levels for both internal priority levels of the MMS can be modified
via the "dot1dTrafficClassTable" of the P bridge MIB.
Processing rules
The switch controller in the MMS/MCS forwards received packets to one of the receive
queues according to the following decisions:
–BPDU packets (Spanning Tree, LLDP) and IGMP packets are always assigned to the
high-priority queue.
–Packets with unknown unicast addresses are always assigned to the low-priority
queue.
–Packets are assigned to the high-priority queue if the priority from the VLAN/priority tag
is mapped to the "high" level (default priority 4 to 7).
–The internal port priority "high" results in priority level 7 handling, i.e., the basic settings
for data packet assignment to the high-priority queue are made.
–All residual data is assigned to the low-priority queue.
3.4.4.2Port prioritization
In addition to the processing sequence according to the priority information from the tag, the
user can set the internal prioritization for every individual switch port at the MMS/MCS. In
this way, the processing of Ethernet data for a particular port can be prioritized.
The port prioritizing method is suitable for termination devices that do not support tagging
and thus cannot generate priorities.
"High" port prioritization sets the internal priority of the packets received at this port to
priority level 7. In the switch, these packets will be processed with priority information 7
within the tag (preferred handling and forwarding method only within the switch, however,
when forwarding to the receiver, the packets are in the original state). The "Low" port
prioritization means that the priority of packets received at this port is not influenced by the
switch. This implies that existing tags must be taken into consideration or that other priority
rules must be observed.
–On the "Port Configuration" web page, both available priority levels can be selected
under "Priority Level".
3.4.4.3Strict priority
The switch supports two priority queues for adjusting the packet processing sequence
(traffic classes according to IEEE 802.1D). Data telegrams that are received are assigned
to these classes according to their priority, which is specified in the VLAN/prioritization tag:
–Data packets with values between "0" and "3" in the priority field are low priority
(default).
–Data packets with values between "4" and "7" in the priority field are transmitted via the
switch with high priority.
The MMS/MCS uses "Strict Priority" for transmitting data telegrams. First, all high-priority
data packets are assigned, once these are forwarded, low-priority telegrams are assigned.
This function prevents delays in high-priority data transmission, due to large volumes of lowpriority data traffic. Low-priority traffic is rejected when the memory or data channel is
overloaded.
The MMS/MCS offers several user interfaces for accessing configuration and diagnostic
data. The preferred interfaces are the web interface and SNMP interface. These two
interfaces can be used to make all the necessary settings and request all information.
Access via Telnet/V.24 (RS-232) interface only enables access to basic information.
However, the V.24 (RS-232) interface also enables firmware update via XMODEM in the
event of faulty firmware.
4.1Factory Manager
4.1.1General function
The integration of the MMS/MCS in the Factory Manager provides optimum support for
configuration and management.
4.1.2Assigning IP parameters
Once you have established all the necessary connections and Factory Manager has been
started, start the MMS/MCS or execute a reset.
Following the boot phase, the MMS/MCS sends the BootP requests, which are received by
the Factory Manager and displayed in the message window. If you are operating other
devices in the same network, messages from these devices may also be displayed.
Messages from Phoenix Contact Factory Line components can be easily identified by their
MAC address, which starts with 00.A0.45... and is provided on the devices.
Settings are not automatically saved permanently. The active configuration can be saved
permanently by selecting "Save current configuration" on the "Configuration
Management" web page.
Only one of several options for assigning IP parameters using Factory Manager 2.2 is
described here.
Please check the MAC address in the messages to ensure the correct device is
addressed.
Once you have clicked on "Add", the device is added to the project and is indicated as
unavailable. You must now restart or reset the MMS/MCS. Following a restart, the
MMS/MCS resends the BootP requests and receives the corresponding BootP reply from
the Factory Manager. Once the boot process has been completed the MMS/MCS is
indicated as available.
4.1.3Configuration and diagnostics
Numerous options for configuring and diagnosing the MMS/MCS can be found in the
"Device" menu under "Properties".
General
Figure 4-3"General" menu
Here you can check or modify device names and types as well as IP parameters.
If the MMS/MCS is still indicated as "unavailable", check your network card settings.
Please note that both devices must be located in the same network/subnetwork. If the
Factory Manager receives the BootP requests this does not mean that the devices are
located in the same subnetwork, as the BootP requests are sent as a broadcast beyond
subnetwork boundaries.
If you modify the IP address and/or the other IP parameters using the Factory Manager,
once you click "OK" you will no longer have access via the Factory Manager. Restarting
the MMS/MCS activates the modified parameters and restores access.
To activate the new addresses following a restart, BootP must be activated in the
MMS/MCS (on the "IP Configuration" page in WBM).
In this menu, you can add additional information in the white fields, which will be saved on
the MMS/MCS. This information is also available via SNMP and WBM.
Information about the device status and redundancy is displayed here. All the messages for
this device are displayed under Messages.
Ports
Figure 4-6"Ports" menu for the MMS
Comprehensive information, e.g., from interface types and states, through transmission
data to port levels, is displayed here. All information is automatically created and updated.
Trap targets are displayed or set here, and the "send traps" function can be activated or
deactivated. Clicking on "Set Default Values" automatically activates the IP address of the
computer on which the Factory Manager is installed as the trap target.
Firmware
Figure 4-8"Firmware" menu
Here you can view all information about the current device software (firmware). You can
also update the software/firmware using the Factory Manager.
Firmware updateWhen you click on "Update", the following window appears, which contains information
about the firmware used.
During a firmware update, the current status is shown on the MMS display:
03 - Downloading firmware via the network.
04 - Saving the firmware in the MMS Flash memory.
05 - The new firmware has been saved successfully.
Display goes out.
bo - Device is booting and loading new firmware in the RAM.
Following a firmware update, a reset is executed automatically to activate the new
firmware.
Please make sure that the "TFTP Server" service program is activated in the toolbar.
You can monitor the download in the message window (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). Always
wait until all the LEDs light up after approximately two minutes and the device is available
again after booting.
It is not ensured that all existing configuration data will be retained after a firmware
update/downgrade. Therefore, please check the configuration settings or return the
device to the settings default upon delivery.
NOTE: A voltage failure during a firmware update results in the destruction of the firmware
on the MMS/MCS. An update via XMODEM is required, see "Starting with faulty software
(firmware)" on page 4-127.
In order to enable a firmware update, the firmware image must be located in the
"Download" directory of the Factory Manager.
An application note for firmware update via TFTP (AH EN TFTP FIRMWARE UPDATE)
can be found in the Download Center at www.download.phoenixcontact.com
You can jump straight to the web interface from here via a selection menu. The relevant
function is described in "Web-based management (WBM)" on page 4-10 and onwards.
Configuration
Figure 4-12"Configuration" menu
Various options are provided here for saving or loading the configuration.
Online diagnosticsThe user-friendly web-based management interface can be used to manage the switch from
anywhere in the network using a standard browser. Comprehensive configuration and
diagnostic functions are clearly displayed on a graphic user interface. Every user with a
network connection to the device has read access to that device via a browser. Depending
on the physical structure of the switch, a wide range of information about the device itself,
the set parameters, and the operating state can be viewed.
4.2.2Requirements for the use of WBM
As the web server operates using the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, a standard browser can
be used. Access is via the URL "http://IP address of the device".
Example: "http://172.16.29.112".
For full operation of the web pages, the browser must support JavaScript 1.2 and cascading
style sheets Level 1. We recommend the use of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.
4.2.2.1Structure of the web pages
The web pages are divided into four areas:
–Device type and device logo.
–Device name (assigned by the user) and loading time, to prevent mix-ups.
–Navigation tree on the left-hand side.
–Information tables, which contain current device information during runtime.
Most of the screenshots shown in Section 4.2, "Web-based management (WBM)" are for
the MMS. WBM for the MCS has the same configuration options; however the information
regarding extension modules does not apply (this is specific to the MMS).
Modifications can only be made by entering the valid password. By default upon delivery,
the password is "private".
For security reasons, we recommend you enter a new, unique password.
WBM can only be called using a valid IP address. By default upon delivery, the switch has
no valid IP address.
Settings are not automatically saved permanently. If the active configuration has not been
saved, a flashing floppy disk icon appears in the top-right corner in WBM. The icon is
linked to the "Configuration Management" web page. The active configuration can be
saved permanently by selecting "Save current configuration" on this web page.
After having entered the valid password, no further entry of the password is necessary for a
period of 300 s (default). After this period of time has elapsed or after clicking on "Logout",
the password must be re-entered.
The period of time can be set using the "flWorkFWCtrlLoginExpire" SNMP object within a
range of 30 s to 3600 s (default 300 s).
The concept is valid for the first ten users logged on at the same time. All other users must
confirm each configuration modification by entering the password, until less than ten users
are logged on.
4.2.3Functions/information in WBM
The navigation tree provides direct access to the following four areas:
–General Instructions
Basic information about WBM.
–Device Information
General device information.
–General Configuration
Device configuration/device as a network device.
–Switch Station
Device-specific configuration and diagnostics.
4.2.3.1General Instructions
Figure 4-13"Information" web page for the MMS
General Instructions
Contains a brief description of WBM and a navigation tree (site map), which is linked to
every page of WBM.
This page displays the set IP parameters, management VLAN ID, and addressing
mechanism.
To change the IP parameters via WBM, "Static" assignment must be selected.
Figure 4-15"IP Configuration" web page
IP address assignment
–Static Assignment
The switch can be accessed using the set IP address and does not send any kind of
requests on the receipt of IP parameters.
–Bootstrap Protocol (BootP)
The switch sends a BootP request after every restart and receives a BootP reply with
IP parameters. If the BootP reply is disabled, the switch starts after the third request with
the last IP parameters saved. If the switch has no saved IP parameters, the switch
continues to send BootP requests until it receives a response with a BootP reply.
The management VLAN ID specifies in which VLAN the switch can be accessed if it is
operating in "Tagging" VLAN mode.
While the switch waits for an IP address to be assigned - "01" or "dP" in the display - the
mode LED selected via the mode button also flashes.
If you modify the IP address and/or the other IP parameters via WBM, once you click on
"Apply" you will no longer have access via the IP address set in the browser.
Once DHCP has been enabled, the switch attempts to apply network parameters from
a DHCP server. The setting, regardless of whether DHCP is enabled or not, is saved
permanently.
–Discovery and Configuration Protocol (DCP)
Mode for assigning IP addresses in PROFINET. After startup, the switch waits for the
startup of the IO controller or an engineering tool. This status is indicated by display
output "dP". The switch can only be accessed after configuration using the assigned IP
address. The assigned IP address is not saved permanently, which means that the
switch waits to be assigned an address every time the device starts. DCP is activated
automatically if "Profinet" mode is selected.
"System Identification" menu
This menu is used to display or modify user-specific device data, e.g., location, device
name or function. This device data is also available in SNMP.
Figure 4-16"System Identification" menu
Once DHCP has be en enabled, th e di splay conta ins "01" and wait s for IP parame ters from
a DHCP server. As long as no IP parameters have been assigned by a DHCP server, the
switch can still be accessed via the previously set IP parameters.
If the MMS has established a PROFINET connection, a dot appears in the bottom-right
corner of the display.
Trap ConfigurationThe "send traps" function can be disabled individually here.
SNMP Trap
Connection Test
Once the "send traps" function has been activated and the trap manager has been defined
using the IP addresses, test traps can now be sent using "Execute" to test the
communication path from the switch to the trap receiver.
4.2.3.4"SNTP Configuration" menu
General information about SNTP
SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) is defined in RFC 4330 (SNTP clients in automation
technology) and is used to synchronize the internal system time with any NTP server, which
represents the "timer", i.e., the universal time. The aim is to synchronize all the components
in a network with the universal time and to thus create a uniform time base.
Time synchronization provides valuable assistance when evaluating error and event logs,
as the use of time synchronization in various network components enables events to be
assigned and analyzed more easily.
Clients should therefore only be used at the most extreme points of an NTP network. Time
synchronization is carried out at fixed synchronization intervals known as polling intervals.
The client receives a correction time by means of an SNTP server, with the packet runtime
for messages between the client and server being integrated in the time calculation in the
client. The local system time of the client is thus constantly corrected. Synchronization in the
NTP is carried out in Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) format.
The current system time is displayed as Universal Time Coordinates (UTCs). This means
that the displayed system time corresponds to Greenwich Mean Time. The system time and
the "UTC Offset" provide the current local time.
The switch supports the use of the SNTP protocol except in client mode, i.e., switches or
other network components only ever receive a time from a time server, but do not transmit
their own times.
–Each client synchronizes its system time with that of an SNTP server
–Time synchronization is carried out at fixed synchronization intervals
–The local system time of the client is thus constantly corrected
–Synchronization is carried out in Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) format
The parameters for automatic time synchronization using SNTP can be set here.
Figure 4-18"Simple Network Time Protocol Configuration" menu
Configuration sequence
•Activate the SNTP function (Enable)
•Set the desired time zone with "UTC Offset"
•Under "Pollinterval", select the time slot pattern in which the system time is to be
updated
•Select the operating mode. Either:
Unicast Mode: The client receives its time from a fixed primary server.
Broadcast Mode: The client receives its time from broadcast messages, which were
transmitted by an NTP server and sent to several clients.
Manycast Mode: The client sends a broadcast message to several NTP servers. The
client selects the best response from the servers and then operates in unicast mode.
For the times in the event table, for example, make sure that the system time corresponds
to Greenwich Mean Time. The current local time is based on the system time and the "UTC
Offset".
This page is used to view or modify the parameters for a software update and to trigger the
update.
