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.

6 Operating Instructions, 12/2015, A2B00077300-06
These Operating Instructions are intended for persons who commission networks with the IE
switches of the SCALANCE XB-000 product line.
Explanations of many of the specialist terms used in this documentation can be found in the
SIMATIC NET glossary.
You will find the SIMATIC NET glossary here:

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 IE switches of the SCALANCE XB-000 product line allow the cost-effective installation of
Industrial Ethernet bus and star structures with switching functionality.
With the following IE switches, there are also electrical/optical media transitions:
● SCALANCE XB004-1
● SCALANCE XB004-2
● SCALANCE XB004-1LD
● SCALANCE XB004-1G
● SCALANCE XB004-1LDG
Note
It is not possible to use IE switches of the SCALANCE
XB-000 product line 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. For AC operation, for
example the blitzductor BVT ALD 60 Art. no. 918409 or a comparable protective element is
suitable.

Note
For the devices with Fast Ethernet, you can use cables and connectors with 2x2 lines. The
use of 4x2 lines is also possible but not absolutely necessary. These products are indicated
by (+).
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.

Electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD)
Electronic modules contain electrostatic sensitive components
These components can easily be destroyed if handled incorrectly.
Note the following instructions to avoid damage.
• Touch electronic modules only when you absolutely need to work on them.
• If electronic modules need to be touched, the body of the person involved must first be
electrostatically discharged and grounded.
• Do not bring electronic modules in contact with electrically isolating materials such as
plastic film, isolating table top pads or clothing made of synthetic fibers.
• Place the modules only on conductive surfaces.
• Pack, store and transport electronic modules and components only in conductive
packaging such as metalized plastic or metal containers, conductive foam or household
aluminum foil.
