6.4
Establishing a PROFINET connection
The basic device has an Ethernet/PROFINET 2-port switch for data exchange in the remote
mode. Seen from the front of the device, the port facing towards the rear is port 1, the port
facing towards the front, is port 2.
The Ethernet/PROFINET interface facilitates:
● Configuring and monitoring in the REMOTE mode
● Integration and communication of the SITOP PSU8600 with other open automation
components in the Siemens and open environment, for instance IPC, PLC, HMI
● Firmware update of the device via STEP 7, OPC UA server or web server
WARNING
Risk of explosion
For use in a hazardous zone, an Ethernet/PROFINET connector with strain relief must be
used.
Strain relief for use in a hazardous zone is implemented by using a Siemens IE
FastConnect RJ45.
The connection to the PROFINET network is realized using signal cables, connected to the
Ethernet/PROFINET interface at the lower side of the device.
Note
The Ethernet/PROFINET connection to the basic devices of the PSU8600 power supply is
optimized for use of the "Industrial Ethernet FastConnect RJ45 plugs 2x2" in an industrial
design that is insensitive to noi
se and interference.
Commercially available RJ45 plug connectors can be used to connect to
Ethernet/PROFINET. However, when withdrawing the cable, a suitable tool must be used
(e.g. a small slotted screwdriver) in order to release the RJ45 plug connector l
atch.
