8.5.3.2 X200, X201: PROFINET
In order to be able to connect the drive controllers to other PROFINET nodes, an integrated
switch with both X200 and X201 RJ-45 sockets is provided. The sockets are located on top of
the device. The associated 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.

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.
