Safety notices on the use of the device
The following safety notices must be adhered to when setting up and operating the device and
during all associated work such as installation, connecting up, replacing devices or opening
the device.
General notices
WARNING
Safety extra low voltage
The SCALANCE X204RNA is designed for operation with Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV)
by a Limited Power Source (LPS). (This does not apply to the SCALANCE X204RNA EEC.)
This means that only SELV / LPS complying with IEC 60950 1 / EN 60950 1 / VDE 0805 1
must be connected to the power supply terminals. The power supply unit for the equipment
power supply must comply with NEC Class 2, as described by the National Electrical Code

Network topologies and redundancy
3.1 PRP
Parallel Redundancy Protocol
The "Parallel Redundancy Protocol" is a redundancy protocol for Ethernet networks. It is
defined in Part 3 of the IEC 62439 standard. The devices of the SCALANCE X-200RNA product
line support the PRP method. The areas of application of PRP are distributed real-time
applications with high reliability demands that depend on the high availability of the network.
Compared with classic fault-tolerant networks, PRP provides bumpless redundancy. This
redundancy method allows data communication to be maintained without interruption/
reconfiguration time if there are interruptions in the network. Other redundancy methods have
a network reconfiguration time of, for example 200 ms (MRP, 50 nodes in the ring) or 300 ms
(High Speed Redundancy, 50 nodes in the ring) and cannot therefore be used for substation
applications or other applications that require high network availability.
The PRP method has the advantage that it uses parallel, separate networks made up of
standard network components. The end devices that use this method are connected to the
two networks via a preceding device or via two integrated device interfaces. This means that
the frame of the end device can be transferred at the same time via both networks. If a
transmission path is interrupted, the frame arrives at its destination via the second path.
3
The devices of the SCALANCE X-200RNA product line are used to connect end devices
without integrated PRP interfaces to parallel networks.
Note
SCALANCE X204RNA EEC (PRP/HSR)
If you initialize the device as a PRP device, it behaves in exactly the same way as the
SCALANCE X204RNA EEC (PRP).
Which topologies can be implemented?
With the devices of the SCALANCE X-200RNA (PRP) product line, nodes or entire network
segments without PRP capability can be connected to a "Parallel Redundancy Protocol"
network.
The products with PRP capability of the SCALANCE X-200RNA product line can be used to
implement an integrated solution for network components and protective devices for a
substation and also process application.
SCALANCE X-200RNA
Operating Instructions, 10/2016, C79000-G8976-C342-04 17
Network topologies and redundancy
3.1 PRP
The SCALANCE X-200RNA can manage a maximum of 1023 MAC addresses.
Note
Keep to the maximum permitted cable lengths of the devices you are using. You will find the
permitted cable lengths in the technical specifications.
Example
Figure 3-1 Schematic diagram of the "Parallel Redundancy Protocol"
With the "Parallel Redundancy Protocol" (PRP), each node must transmit Ethernet frames on
two independent, parallel networks. These are two physically separate networks with a bus
(linear), star or ring topology. The PRP destination device must also be connected to the two
networks. This then receives each frame twice. The first frame is forwarded to the application.
SCALANCE X-200RNA
18 Operating Instructions, 10/2016, C79000-G8976-C342-04
Network topologies and redundancy
3.1 PRP
The second frame received is recognized and discarded. This achieves N-1 redundancy
without reconfiguration (= bumpless switchover).
Note
Overlong frames
When a SCALANCE X204RNA IE switch feeds a frame with the maximum length into a PRP
network, the IE switch appends a PRP trailer to the frame. Appending the PRP trailer results
in an overlong frame that exceeds the maximum permitted frame length (according to the IEEE
802.3 standard).
To prevent data loss with overlong frames, all network components located in a PRP network
must support a frame length of at least 1528 bytes.
You will find a list of compatible devices that support processing of overlong frames in the
section "PRP-compatible devices (Page 149)".
There are already end devices equipped with two Ethernet interfaces that are capable of
handling the "Parallel Redundancy Protocol" (Double Attached Nodes PRP = DANP).
On the other hand, there are many end devices starting with S7 controllers right through to
control computers that communicate using TCP/IP but do not support PRP, and some even
have only one Ethernet Interface. With all these devices, a SCALANCE X-200RNA can be
connected upstream from them. This allows access for Single Attached Nodes (SAN) to PRP

Industrial Ethernet bus (linear), star or ring structures with switching functionality can be
implemented cost-effectively with devices of the SCALANCE X product line. You will find a list
of usable network components in "Accessories and compatible devices (Page 147)".

3.2 HSR
High-availability Seamless Redundancy Protocol (HSR)
The "High-availability Seamless Redundancy" protocol is a redundancy protocol for Ethernet
networks. It is defined in Part 3 of the IEC 62439 standard. The devices of the SCALANCE
X-200RNA product line support the HSR method. The areas of application of HSR are
distributed real-time applications with high reliability demands that depend on the high
availability of the network. Compared with classic fault-tolerant networks, HSR provides
bumpless redundancy. This redundancy method allows data communication to be maintained
without interruption/reconfiguration time if there are interruptions in the network. Other
redundancy procedures have a reconfiguration time of the network of, for example 200 ms
(MRP, 50 nodes in the ring) or 300 ms (High Speed Redundancy, 50 nodes in the ring) and
cannot therefore be used for substation applications or other applications that require high
network availability.
The HSR method has the advantage that the communication redundancy is achieved by the
configuration as a ring. This means there is no need for other standard network components
(switches) within a network. The end devices that use this method are connected to the two
networks via a preceding device or via two integrated device interfaces. This means that the
frame of the end device can be transferred at the same time in both directions of the ring. If a
transmission path is interrupted, the frame arrives its destination via the other path.
The devices of the SCALANCE X-200RNA product line are used to connect end devices
without integrated HSR interfaces to HSR networks.
Note
SCALANCE X204RNA EEC (PRP/HSR)
If you initialize the device as an HSR device, it behaves in exactly the same way as the
SCALANCE X204RNA EEC (HSR).
Which topologies can be implemented?
With the devices of the SCALANCE X-200RNA (HSR) product line, nodes or entire network
segments without HSR capability can be connected to a "High-availability Seamless
Redundancy Protocol" network.
The products with HSR capability of the SCALANCE X-200RNA product line can be used to
implement an integrated solution for network components and protective devices for a
substation and also process application.
You also have the option for a redundant or non-redundant coupling to a PRP network.
The SCALANCE X-200RNA can manage a maximum of 1023 MAC addresses.
Note
Keep to the maximum permitted cable lengths of the devices you are using. You will find the
permitted cable lengths in the technical specifications.

3.2 HSR
Figure 3-2 Basic diagram of a single HSR ring
With the High-availability Seamless Redundancy Protocol (HSR), each node must feed the
Ethernet frames it wants to send in both directions of the ring. The HSR target device must
also be connected via two ports with the ring. It now receives the same frame from both
directions, in other words twice. The first frame is forwarded to the application. The second
frame received is recognized and discarded. This achieves N-1 redundancy without
reconfiguration (= bumpless switchover).
There are already end devices equipped with two Ethernet interfaces that are capable of using
the "High-availability Seamless Redundancy Protocol" (Double Attached Nodes HSR = DANH).
On the other hand, there are many end devices starting with S7 controllers right through to
control computers that communicate using TCP/IP but do not support HSR and some even
have only one Ethernet interface. With all these devices, a SCALANCE X-200RNA can be
connected upstream from them.

Transition between HSR and PRP (redundant)
Figure 3-3 Basic diagram of the redundant HSR-PRP link
The devices of the SCALANCE X-200RNA product line allow a link with a PRP network. This
coupling is in redundant form, as described in standard IEC62439-3. Two SCALANCE
X-200RNA devices are required. One device is connected with the PRP network LAN A, the
other with LAN B.
SCALANCE X-200RNA
22 Operating Instructions, 10/2016, C79000-G8976-C342-04
This means complete communication is still ensured even if one transition point fails. SANs
connected without RedBox to the decoupled PRP network are an exception from this rule.
Transition between HSR and PRP (non-redundant)
The coupling with a PRP network can also take place non-redundantly. In this case, only one
SCALANCE X-200RNA device is required. The device is connected to the PRP network LAN
A and to LAN B.
Note
This type of linking is not recommended because if the transition point fails, the communication
between HSR and PRP nodes is interrupted.

Configuration of the "NetID" parameter
The network ID of the PRP network is specified with this parameter. The valid range of values
is 1 to 6. The devices SCALANCE X204RNA ① and ② belong to the same PRP network and
you therefore need to set the same value for the NetID parameter for both devices. The same
applies to the devices SCALANCE X204RNA ③ and ④. The last devices named belong
however to a different PRP network and for this reason a different NetID from the devices ①
and ② must be used. For example NetID "5" could be assigned for devices ① und ② and
NetID "6" for devices ③ and ④.

Note
PROFINET controllers can communicate with PROFINET devices via the HSR and PRP
network (PROFINET IO and RT). In this case all PROFINET devices (controllers and devices)
must either be capable of HSR or PRP themselves or must be connected to the HSR ring or
to the PRP network via a RedBox.
Within a PRP network (A or B), PROFINET controllers and devices can also communicate with
each other as SANs (PROFINET IO, RT and IRT). A direct PROFINET communication
relationship between DANPs and SANs or DANHs and SANs is not supported.

TP connectors of SCALANCE X204RNA EEC
The SCALANCE X204RNA EEC has 2 RJ-45 ports to which you can connect two standard
Ethernet or PRP end devices/network structures without HSR capability.
The SCALANCE X204RNA EEC also has 2 RJ-45 ports and 2 SFP slots. These connection
options communicate with each other; in other words only one connector is ever active. If an
SFP module is inserted, the corresponding RJ-45 jack is disabled.
With these connector options, you can connect the device to an HSR ring.
