Mounting A Strain Relief - Siemens SIMOTION Series Commissioning And Hardware Installation Manual

Note
If the integrated ports of SIMOTION P320-4 and SINAMICS are not sufficient, an external
SCALANCE switch can be used.
If PROFINET IO with IRT communication is to be enabled downstream of the switch, then a
suitable switch (which supports IRT) must be used.
Cable
4-wire, shielded installation cables are used as PROFINET cables for IE FC RJ45.
Connector
RJ45 PN connectors with straight or angled exit can be used. Standard RJ45 connectors
cannot be used.
Strain relief
When inserted, a PROFINET cable will cause unwanted forces to be exerted on the sockets
of the PROFINET onboard (strain, lateral pressure). In order to prevent the sockets being
subjected to these forces, you must install the strain-relief bracket and attach the cable tie
supplied in the accessory kit.
For further information see Mounting a strain relief (Page 103).
