Attachment to Industrial Ethernet

Note
Redundancy mechanisms
If you use redundancy mechanisms such as media redundancy "HRP" or "MRP" and/or
redundant linking of rings via a standby link, remember the following:
Open the redundant path before you insert a new device or replacement device in an
operating network. A bad configuration or attachment of the Ethernet cables to incorrectly
configured ports causes overload in the network and a breakdown in communication.
A device may only be inserted in a network and connected in the following situations:
• HRP / MRP
– The ring ports of the device being inserted in the ring were configured as ring ports.
– The required redundancy mode is also enabled.
– If the device is intended to operate as the redundancy manager, "Enable Ring
• Standby link
– Select "Enable Standby Master".
– The "Standby Connection Name" must match the name of the partner device.
– You must also configure the standby port.
You will find detailed information in the SCALANCE X-200 configuration manual.
