Properties of the Ethernet interfaces

Properties
SIMOTION D4x5-2 has several onboard Ethernet interfaces:
● X127 P1 PN/IE (on the front of the module)
● X120 P1 PN/IE-OP (under the front flap, only for D4x5-2 DP)
● X130 P1 PN/IE-NET (under the front flap)
You can connect an Industrial Ethernet with a transmission rate of 10/100/1000 Mbit/s to the
8-pin X127 P1, X120 P1 and X130 P1 RJ45 sockets.
As the X127 is easily accessible on the front of the module, this should preferably be used
for the PG/PC connection.
Note
As of V4.3, the three Ethernet interfaces support the PROFINET basic services - they
therefore have the designation PN/IE-NET, PN/IE-OP or PN/IE.
The interfaces do not have any HUB/switch functionality, i.e. message frames are not
forwarded from one interface to the other. As a rule, the interfaces belong to separate S7
subnets. SIMOTION D4x5-2 does not have any IP router functionality; it does not forward the
message frames from one IP subnet to another.
The features of the Ethernet interfaces are as follows:
● TCP/IP timeout parameters can be set jointly for all Ethernet/PROFINET interfaces (HW
● The transmission rate / duplex can be set separately for all interfaces
● The interfaces have autocrossing functionality.
Ethernet communication
SIMOTION D4x5-2 offers the following functions via Industrial Ethernet:
● Communication with STEP 7, SIMOTION SCOUT and SIMATIC NET OPC via a PG/PC
● Communication via UDP (user datagram protocol) with other components, e.g. other
● Communication with other devices via TCP/IP
● Connection of SIMATIC HMI devices, such as MP27x, MP37x or PC-based HMIs
132
Config: Double-click the D4x5 module, "Ethernet extended" tab).
