Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.
The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by
for the specific
task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions.
Qualified personnel are those who, based on their training and experience, are capable of identifying risks and

Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, solutions, machines, equipment and/or networks. They are
important components in a holistic industrial security concept. With this in mind, Siemens’
products and solutions undergo continuous development. Siemens recommends strongly
that you regularly check for product updates.
For the secure operation of Siemens products and solutions, it is necessary to take suitable
preventive action (e.g. cell protection concept) and integrate each component into a holistic,
state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Third-party products that may be in use should
also be considered. For more information about industrial security, visit

On the product
What is possible?
The SCALANCE X005 and SCALANCE X005TS IE switches allow the cost-effective
installation of small Industrial Ethernet linear bus or star structures with switching
functionality. The devices are designed for installation in a cabinet.
Note
It is not possible to use a SCALANCE
X005 or SCALANCE X005TS in a redundant ring
because they do not support redundancy.
Note
If devices are supplied over long 24 V power supply lines or networks, measures are
necessary to prevent interference by strong electromagnetic pulses on the supply lines.
These can result, for example, due to lightning or switching of large inductive load
One of the tests used to attest the immunity of these devices to electromagnetic interference
is the "surge immunity test" according to EN 61000
-4-5. This test requires overvoltage
protection for the power supply lines. A suitable device is, for exampl
BVT AVD 24 V type no. 918 422 or a comparable protective element.

Unpacking and checking
Unpacking and checking
Do not use any parts that show evidence of damage
If you use damaged parts, there is no guarantee that the device will function according to
the specification.
If you use damaged parts, this can lead to the following problems:
• Injury to persons
• Loss of the approvals
• Violation of the EMC regulations
• Damage to the device and other components
Use only undamaged parts.
1. Make sure that the package is complete.
2. Check all the parts for transport damage.
If the SCALANCE X005TS device is operated in an ambient temperature of between 60 ℃
and 65 °C, the temperature of the device housing may be higher than 65 ℃. 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 of 60 ℃ to 65 °C.

Switching technology allows extensive networks to be set up with numerous nodes and
simplifies network expansion.
Which topologies can be implemented?
Using the SCALANCE X005 and SCALANCE X005TS IE switches, you can implement star
topologies.
Note
Keep to the maximum permitted cable lengths of the devices you are using. You will find the
permitted cable lengths in the section "
Technical specifications (Page 29)".
