Ethernet subnet

Overview
You can connect a Fast Industrial Ethernet to the 8-pin RJ45 socket X7 (see
Fig. 6-1).
Fast Industrial Ethernet is a communication network with a transmission rate of
10/100 Mbit/s.
You can communicate with STEP 7, SIMOTION SCOUT and SIMATIC NET OPC
via a PG/PC.
The networking is carried out via a twisted pair cable. For further information, refer
to the manual SIMATIC NET, Industrial Twisted Pair and Fiber Optic Networks,
refer to the List of References for the order number.
The following connection cables are recommended:
S SIMATIC NET, Ind. Ethernet TP XP CORD RJ45/RJ45, TP CORT pre-fabri-
cated with 2 RJ45 connectors, crossed transmit and receiving line
Order no.: 6XV1850-2HVVV (VVV – length code)
S SIMATIC NET, Ind. Ethernet TP CORD RJ45/RJ45, TP CORT pre-fabricated
with 2 RJ45 connectors
Order no.: 6XV1850-2GVVV (VVV – length code)
You can receive further information on the wiring possibilities for Ethernet from
your SIEMENS contact person.
