7.4.19 X200, X201: PROFINET
Drive controllers from the SC6 series have the two RJ-45 sockets X200 and X201. The sockets
are located on top of the device. The associate pin assignment and color coding correspond to
the EIA/TIA-T568B standard.
Connect X200 or X201 with the IO controller and the remaining connection with the next drive
controller.

Tab. 61: X200 and X201 connection description
Cable requirements
A PROFINET network generally consists of symmetrical, shielded copper cables twisted in pairs
(shielded twisted pair, CAT 5e quality level).
Signals are transmitted according to the 100BASE TX
method, i.e. with a transfer rate of
100Mbps at a frequency of 125MHz.
A maximum of 1440bytes can be transferred per frame. The maximum cable length is 100m.
PROFINET cables exist in different versions that are tailored to different application scenarios
and ambient conditions.
We recommend using the cables specified in the PROFINET installation guidelines. They are
adjusted for use in automation technology with regard to usage, resistance, EMC properties and
color coding.
There are type A, B and C cables, differentiated by installation type:
§ Type A
4-wire shielded copper cable for fixed installation
§ Type B
4-wire shielded copper cable for flexible installation
§ Type C
4-wire shielded copper cable for constant movements
Detailed information about the fieldbus connection can be found in the corresponding manual,
see chapter Detailed information [
