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
(r) (ANSI / NFPA 70).
If the equipment is connected to a redundant power supply (two separate power supplies),
both must meet these requirements.
WARNING

Network topologies and redundancy

3.1 Network topology and redundancy
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 SCALANCE X-200RNA devices 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
procedure allows data communication to be maintained without interruption 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 can therefore not 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.
The devices of the SCALANCE X-200RNA family are used to connect end devices without
integrated PRP interfaces to parallel networks.
Which topologies can be implemented?
With the SCALANCE X-200RNA devices, nodes or entire network segments without PRP
capability can be connected to a "Parallel Redundancy Protocol" network.
The SCALANCE X-200RNA products with their PRP capability can be used to implement an
integrated solution for network components and protective devices for a substation and also
process application.
The SCALANCE X-200RNA can manage a maximum of 1023 MAC addresses.
Note
Make sure that the maximum permitted cable lengths for the relevant devices are not
exceeded. You will find the permitted cable lengths in the technical specifications.

Parallel Redundancy Protocol
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. 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
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
networks.
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 "Table 10-2 Compatible SCALANCE X devices
(oversized frames - 1532 bytes) (Page 113)".

Note
PROFINET controllers can communicate with PROFINET devices via the PRP network
(PROFINET IO and RT). In this case all PROFINET devices (controllers and devices) must
either be capable of PRP themselves or must be connected 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 communications
relation between DANPs and SANs is not supported.

Note
The interfaces of the SCALANCE X204RNA meet the requirements for environment B
according to IEEE 802.3, section 33.4.1.1.
Autonegotiation
Autonegotiation means the automatic detection of the functionality of the port at the opposite
end. Using autonegotiation, repeaters or end devices can detect the functionality available at
the port of a partner device allowing automatic configuration of different types of device. With
autonegotiation, two components connected to a link segment can exchange parameters
and set themselves to match the supported communication functionality.
Note
The SCALANCE X204RNA operates permanently in autonegotiation mode and can
therefore be connected to other devices that either also use the autonegotiation mode or the
100 Mbps mode FD (full duplex).
Note
The SCALANCE X204RNA is a plug-and-play device that does not require settings to be
made for commissioning.
MDI / MDIX autocrossover function
The advantage of the MDI / MDIX autocrossover function is that straight-through cables can
be used throughout and external Ethernet crossover cables are unnecessary. This prevents
malfunctions resulting from mismatching send and receive wires. This makes installation
much easier for the user.
The SCALANCE X204RNA supports the MDI / MDIX autocrossover function.
Note
Please note that the direct connection of two ports on the switch or accidental connection
over several switches causes an illegal loop. Such a loop can lead to network overload and
network failures.
Transmission speed
The transmission speed of the Fast Ethernet ports is 100 Mbps full duplex.

Autonegotiation
Autonegotiation means the automatic detection of the functionality of the port at the opposite
end. Using autonegotiation, repeaters or end devices can detect the functionality available at
the port of a partner device allowing automatic configuration of different types of device. With
autonegotiation, two components connected to a link segment can exchange parameters
and set themselves to match the supported communication functionality.
Note
The SCALANCE X204RNA EEC operates permanently in autonegotiation mode and can
therefore be connected to other devices that either also use the autonegotiation mode or the
100 Mbps mode FD (full duplex).
Note
The SCALANCE X204RNA EEC is a plug-and-play device that does not require settings to
be made for commissioning.
MDI / MDIX autocrossover function
The advantage of the MDI / MDIX autocrossover function is that straight-through cables can
be used throughout and external Ethernet crossover cables are unnecessary. This prevents
malfunctions resulting from mismatching send and receive wires. This makes installation
much easier for the user.
The SCALANCE X204RNA EEC supports the MDI / MDIX autocrossover function.
Note
Please note that the direct connection of two ports on the switch or accidental connection
over several switches causes an illegal loop. Such a loop can lead to network overload and
network failures.
Transmission speed
The transmission speed of the Fast Ethernet ports is 100 Mbps full duplex.

4.6 C-PLUG
CPLUG (configuration plug)
Area of application
The C-PLUG is an exchangeable medium for storage of the configuration and project
engineering data of the basic device. This means that the configuration data remains
available if the basic device is replaced.
How it works
Power is supplied by the basic device. The C-PLUG retains all data permanently when the
power is turned off.
If an empty C-PLUG (factory settings) is inserted, all configuration data of the SCALANCE X200RNA is saved to it when the device starts up. Changes to the configuration during
operation are also saved on the C-PLUG without any operator intervention being necessary.
A basic device with an inserted C-PLUG automatically uses the configuration data of the CPLUG when it starts up. This is, however, only possible when the data was written by a
compatible device type.
This allows fast and simple replacement of the basic device. If a device needs to be
replaced, the C-PLUG is simply taken from the failed component and inserted in the
replacement device. The first time it is started up, the replacement device has the same
configuration as the failed device except for the MAC address set by the vendor.
Compatible devices
As a general rule, the data on the C-PLUG is only compatible with devices having an
identical order number and the same device name.
Over and above this, the data of the SCALANCE X204RNA and the SCALANCE X204RNA
is compatible.
Using a previously written C-PLUG
If you want to insert a C-PLUG that has already been used and has been written to in a
SCALANCE X-200RNA with a different configuration, the existing C-PLUG data must first be
deleted.
Note
An IE Switch X-200 normally starts up with the configuration of the C-PLUG, assuming this
was written to by a compatible device type.

Diagnostics
Inserting a C-PLUG that does not contain the configuration of a compatible device type or
general malfunctions of the C-PLUG are signaled by the diagnostics mechanisms of the
SCALANCE X-200RNA (LEDs, SNMP, WBM, etc.).
Inserting in the C-PLUG slot
The C-PLUG is not supplied with the SCALANCE X-200RNA. It is available as an optional
accessory.
The slot for the C-PLUG is located as follows:
●With a SCALANCE X204RNA on the front of the device
●With the SCALANCE X204RNA EEC on the top of the device
Refer to Figure 4-6 Position of the C-PLUG and SET button (Page 28)
To inse
rt the C-PLUG, remove the protective cover. The C-PLUG is inserted in the slot.
The protective cover must then be closed correctly.
NOTICE
The C-PLUG may only be inserted or removed when the power is off!
Removing the C-PLUG
It is only necessary to remove the C-PLUG if a fault occurs on the SCALANCE X-200RNA.
The C-PLUG can be removed from the slot using flat pliers, tweezers, or a small screwdriver.

Button function
You can change various device settings with the button. Modified settings are retained after
device power off/on.
The SELECT / SET button is used to switch over the display mode and to make other
settings. After turning on the SCALANCE X-200RNA, it is in the display mode.
The button has three functions:
● Triggering a device restart
● Reset to the factory defaults All settings made are overwritten by the factory defaults.
● Define the fault mask and the display at the LEDs. The current states of all ports and the
states of the power supplies L1 and L2 are included in the fault mask. The previous fault
mask is then overwritten.
Different settings are made depending on how long you hold down the button:
Figure 4-5 The five button phases
Time the button is pressed in seconds
Table 4- 6 Button phases
Phase Description
1 The currently set fault mask is displayed. If no fault mask has been set, all ports flash one after the other.
If you release the button in phase 1, this has no effect.
2 The LEDs of the ports at which there is currently a link flash at 2.5 Hz.
If you release the button in phase 2, this has no effect.
3 The LEDs of the ports at which there is currently a link and the LEDs of the connected power supply are lit
permanently.
If you release the button in phase 3, the fault mask corresponding to the lit LEDs is adopted.
4 All port LEDs flash at 2.5 Hz.
Releasing the button during this phase brings about a device restart (soft reset)
5 All port LEDs flash alternately yellow/green at 2.5 Hz.
The device is reset to the factory defaults.
