PROFINET interface X1 port pinouts
The S7-1200 CPU connects to the PROFINET network using a standard female RJ45 jack.
The connector pinout depends on the CPU type.
Single-port CPUs (CPU 1211C, CPU 1212C and CPU 1214C) have a standard Ethernet MDI
pin configuration as follows:
Transmit data
2 TD-
4 GND Ground
Ground
The ports of a dual-port CPU (CPU 1215C and CPU1217C) have a standard Ethernet MDI-X
pin configuration as follows:
Receive data
Ground
Ground
If the port’s configuration enables autonegotiation, the S7-1200 CPU automatically detects
the cable type and swaps the transmit/receive lines, if needed. If the port’s configuration
disables autonegotiation, the CPU also disables this automatic swap. You configure a port’s
autonegotiation setting in the TIA Portal’s port options dialog. This is a port-specific
advanced option for the PROFINET interface (X1) of the CPU’s properties. Refer to
"Configuring the PROFINET port" in Section 11.2.3.4: "Configuring an IP address for a CPU
in your project" (Page 814) for further information.
