Configuring an Ethernet subnet on the PROFINET interface (C240 PN)
Overview
You can connect a PROFINET node to the 8-pin RJ45 X11 P1, X11 P2 and X11 P3 sockets,
see Figure "Overview of the cable connecting the C240 PN to the servo drive (digital
connection) - example" in chapter Overview of wiring diagram (Page 94).
PROFINET is a communication network with a transmission rate of 100 Mbit/s.
You can use a PG/PC to communicate with STEP 7, SIMOTION SCOUT, and SIMATIC NET
OPC.
A shielded twisted pair cable is used for the networking in this case. For additional
information, refer to the
SIMATIC NET, Industrial Twisted Pair and Fiber Optic Networks
Manual. This document is supplied in electronic format with SIMOTION SCOUT.
All ports of the PROFINET interface support auto-MDI(X) in contrast to the Ethernet
interface. A crossover cable is therefore not required for a direct connection to the PG/PC.
The following connecting cables are recommended:
● SIMATIC NET, Ind. Ethernet FC TP standard cable GP
Order no.: 6XV1840-2AH10 (sold by the meter)
● SIMATIC NET, Ind. Ethernet FC TP trailing cable GP
Order no.: 6XV1870-2D (sold by the meter)
● SIMATIC NET, Ind. Ethernet TP XP CORD RJ45/RJ45, TP cable assembled with two
RJ45 plugs, send and receive cables crossed
Order no.: 6XV1870-3R☐☐☐ (☐☐☐ - length code)
● SIMATIC NET, Ind. Ethernet TP CORD RJ45/RJ45, TP cable assembled with two RJ45
plugs
Order no.: 6XV1870-3Q☐☐☐ (☐☐☐ - length code)
The following bus connectors can be used with the C240 PN:
● SIMATIC NET, Ind. Ethernet FC RJ45 plug 145
Order no.: 6GK1901-1BB30-0AA0 (1 item)
Order no.: 6GK1901-1BB30-0AB0 (10 items)
