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. You will find more information about Industrial Security in:

On the product
What is possible?
The SCALANCE X-000 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
X-000 in a redundant ring because it does not support
Note
If devices are supplied over long 24 V power supply lines or
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 loads.
One of the tests used to attest the immunity of these dev
ices 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 example, the Dehn Blitzductor
BVT AVD 24 V type no. 918 422 or a co
mparable protective element.

Switching technology allows extensive networks to be set up with numerous nodes and
simplifies network expansion.
Which topologies can be implemented?
Using the SCALANCE X-000 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 33)".

TP ports (twisted pair)
RJ-45 connector pinout
With SCALANCE X-000, the twisted-pair ports are designed as RJ-45 jacks with MDI-X pin
assignment (Medium Dependent Interface Autocrossover) of a network component.
Note
Permitted cable lengths
TP cords or TP
-XP cords with a maximum length of 10 m can be connected to the TP port
With the IE FC cables and IE FC RJ
-45 plugs 180, an overall cable length of a maximum of
100 m is permitted between two devices depending on the cable
With the autonegotiation mechanism, repeaters and end devices can automatically
determine the transmission speed and the transmission mode of the partner port. This
makes it possible to configure different devices automatically.

Two components connected to a link segment can exchange information about the data
transfer and can adapt their settings to each other. The mode with the highest possible
speed is set.
Note
Setting ports with a fixed configuration
Devices not supporting autonegotiation must be set permanently to 100
If the pair of receiving cables is connected incorrectly (RD+ and RD- interchanged), the
polarity is adapted automatically.
X-000 IE switches are plug-and-play devices that require no settings during
MDI / MDI-X autocrossover function
With the MPI/MDI-X autocrossover function, the send and receive contacts of an Ethernet
port are assigned automatically. The assignment depends on the cable with which the
communications partner is connected. This means that it does not matter whether the port is
connected using a patch cable or crossover cable. This prevents malfunctions resulting from
mismatching send and receive lines. This makes installation much easier for the user.
The SCALANCE X-000 devices support the MDI / MDI-X autocrossover function.
Insulation between the TP ports
Note that the direct connection of two ports or accidental connection over several switches
causes an illegal loop that can cause network overload and failure.
On the following devices, the ports are divided into port groups.
● SCALANCE X005
6GK5 005-0BA00-1AA3
● SCALANCE X005TS
6GK5 005-0BA00-1CA3

There are two TP port groups:
Group 1: P1
Group2: P2 to P5
Between ports of different port groups, an insulation voltage of 1.5 kV is adhered to
(corresponds to IEEE802.3, Chapter 33.4.1.1, Environment B), e.g. between P1 and P2.
The requirements for Environment A are met between ports of the same group, e.g. between
P2 and P5.
Devices without port groups
The following devices do not have port groups:
● SCALANCE X005
6GK5 005-0BA10-1AA3
The requirements for Environment A are met between all ports.
