Note the following: WARNING Siemens products may only be used for the applications described in the catalog and in the relevant technical documentation. If products and components from other manufacturers are used, these must be recommended or approved by Siemens. Proper transport, storage, installation, assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance are required to ensure that the products operate safely and without any problems.
The "SIMATIC NET Industrial Ethernet Twisted Pair and Fiber Optic Networks" manual contains additional information on other SIMATIC NET products that you can operate along with the CSM 1277 switch in an Industrial Ethernet network. Finding information To help you to find the information you require more quickly, the manual includes not only the table of contents but also the following sections in the Appendix: ●...

1.1 Preface Standards and approvals The CSM 1277 compact switch module meets the requirements for the CE, UL, C-Tick, FM and ATEX marks. You will find detailed information in the section "Approvals and Markings" in this commissioning manual in the "Approvals" table.
The CSM 1277 device allows the cost-effective installation of Industrial Ethernet bus or star structures with switching functionality. Note It is not possible to use the CSM 1277 switch in a redundant ring because it does not support redundancy. Note If the CSM 1277 switch is supplied over long 24 V power supply lines or networks, measures are necessary to prevent interference by strong electromagnetic pulses on the supply lines.
Make sure that the maximum permitted cable lengths for the relevant devices are not exceeded. You will find the permitted cable lengths in the technical specifications.

Devices not supporting autonegotiation must be set to 100 Mbps/ half duplex or 10 Mbps half duplex. Note The CSM 1277 is a plug-and-play device that does not require settings to be made for commissioning. Auto polarity exchange If the pair of receiving cables are incorrectly connected (RD+ and RD- swapped over), the polarity is adapted automatically.
Such a loop can lead to network overload and network failures. Displays Displays of the CSM 1277 Power indicator 'DIAG' (green LED) The status of the power supply is indicated by a green LED:...

Note The number of connected switches influences the frame delay. When a frame passes through the CSM 1277, it is delayed by the store and forward function of the switch - with a 64 byte frame length by approx. 8 µs (at 100 Mbps) - with a 1500 byte frame length by approx.
Mounting Installation Type of mounting The CSM 1277 compact switch module is intended for mounting on a 35 mm DIN rail. Wall mounting is possible (see S7-1200 System Manual). Note When installing and operating the device, keep to the installation instructions and safety- related notices as described here and in the manual SIMATIC NET Industrial Ethernet Twisted Pair and Fiber Optic Networks /1/.
1. Place the upper guide at the top of the CSM housing in the 35 mm DIN rail (DIN EN 60715 TH35 ). 2. Push in the lower part of the CSM 1277 onto the rail until it locks in place. Figure 4-1...

Glossary Aging time The aging time is the time after which a learned MAC address is discarded if a CSM 1277 has not received frames with this sender address during this time. Autocrossover Technique with which a TP port is automatically switched over between MDI and MDI-X assignment to make a connection independent of the port assignment of the device being attached.
