Connecting Terminal assignment This section provides information on the pin assignment of the individual interfaces and the schematic circuit diagram of the CPU 1518HF‑4 PN. 24 V DC supply voltage (X80) The connector for the supply voltage is already plugged in when the CPU ships from the factory.
Page 28
Connecting 4.1 Terminal assignment PROFINET interface X2 with 2-port switch (X2 P1 and X2 P2) The assignment corresponds to the Ethernet standard for a RJ45 connector. Autocrossing is always active on X2. This means the RJ45 sockets are allocated either as data terminal equipment (MDI) or a switch (MDI-X).
