These operating instructions cover the following products:
SCALANCE W722-1 RJ-45
These operating instructions apply to the following software version:
6GK5722-1FC00-0AA0 6GK5722-1FC00-0AB0
● SCALANCE W760/W720 with firmware as of Version 5.2
Using the Operating Instructions, you will be able to install and connect the SCALANCE
W760/W720 correctly. The configuration and the integration of the device in a WLAN are not
described in these instructions.
You will find detailed information about configuration in the SCALANCE W700 configuration
manuals on the accompanying SIMATIC NET IWLAN CD under the file name:

You will find license conditions in the following documents on the supplied data medium:
The type designation of the device is made up of several parts that have the following
meaning:
Siemens provides automation and drive products with industrial security functions that
support the secure operation of plants or machines. They are an important component in a
holistic industrial security concept. With this in mind, our products undergo continuous
development. We therefore recommend that you keep yourself informed with respect to our
product updates. Please find further information and newsletters on this subject at:
http://support.automation.siemens.com.
To ensure the secure operation of a plant or machine it is also necessary to take suitable
preventive action (e.g. cell protection concept) and to integrate the automation and drive
components into a state-of-the-art holistic industrial security concept for the entire plant or
machine. Any third-party products that may be in use must also be taken into account.

If you make changes to the configuration and restart immediately afterwards with the

● Loading new firmware
● Restoring the default parameters (factory defaults)

Fit the device so that there is a minimum clearance of 20 cm between antennas and
persons.
If a device is operated in an ambient temperature of more than 50 °C, the temperature of
the device housing may be higher than 70 °C. The device must therefore be installed so
that it is only accessible to service personnel or users that are aware of the reason for
restricted access and the required safety measures at an ambient temperature higher than
50 °C.
When used in hazardous environments corresponding to Class I, Division 2 or Class I,
Zone 2, the device must be installed in a cabinet or a suitable enclosure.
To comply with EC Directive 94/9 (ATEX95) or the conditions of IECEx, this enclosure or
cabinet must meet the requirements of at least IP54 in compliance with EN 60529.
Antennas installed outdoors must be within the area covered by a lightning protection
system. Make sure that all conducting systems entering from outdoors can be protected by
a lightning protection potential equalization system.
When implementing your lightning protection concept, make sure you adhere to the VDE
0182 or IEC 62305 standard.
Suitable lightning protectors are available in the range of accessories of SIMATIC NET

The equipment is designed for operation with Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV) by a
Limited Power Source (LPS).
This means that only SELV / LPS (Limited Power Source) complying with IEC 60950-1 / EN
60950-1 / VDE 0805-1 must be connected to the power supply terminals or the power
supply unit for the equipment power supply must comply with NEC Class 2, as described by
the National Electrical Code (r) (ANSI / NFPA 70).
If the equipment is connected to a redundant power supply (two separate power supplies),
both must meet these requirements.
Take measures to prevent transient voltage surges of more than 40% of the rated voltage.
This is the case if you only operate devices with SELV (safety extra-low voltage).
5.1 Lightning protection, power supply and grounding
When using outdoor antennas, the shared or even grounded pin of the circuit must be
connected to the shield of the coaxial cable and with all touchable conductive parts and
circuits. Otherwise, in the event of a fault there may be illegally high voltages on touchable
parts.
To fully eliminate the influence of electromagnetic interference, the device must be
grounded. There must be no potential difference between the following parts, otherwise the
device or other connected device could be severely damaged:
• Grounding pin of the SCALANCE W700 and the ground potential of the antenna.
• Grounding pin of the SCALANCE W700 and the ground potential of a device connected
over Ethernet.
• Grounding pin of the SCALANCE W700 and the shield contact of the connected
Ethernet cable.
Connect both grounds to the same foundation earth or use an equipotential bonding cable.
