Siemens 6GK5202-2BB00-2BA3 SCALANCE X202-2IRT Managed Switch

Description

The 6GK5202-2BB00-2BA3 is a managed SCALANCE X202-2IRT Industrial Ethernet switch, engineered for high-performance Isochronous Real-Time (IRT) communication in demanding automation networks. It is equipped with two 10/100 Mbit/s RJ45 ports and two 100 Mbit/s multimode BFOC (ST) fiber optic ports, providing versatile media connectivity for copper and fiber infrastructures. Designed for mission-critical reliability, it supports redundant power supplies and features an integrated Redundancy Manager to ensure seamless network recovery. The device functions as a PROFINET IO device and includes robust network management features, an error signaling contact with a set button, and optional C-plug support for simplified configuration and device replacement.

Features

• Media Flexibility: 2x RJ45 (10/100 Mbit/s) and 2x Multimode BFOC fiber optic ports.
• Network Reliability: Integrated Redundancy Manager for rapid failover and redundant power supply inputs.
• Real-Time Performance: Optimized for PROFINET IRT applications requiring deterministic communication.
• Diagnostics: Error signaling contact with manual set button for immediate network fault notification.
• Configuration: Support for C-plug for convenient data storage and device swapping.

Applications

• PROFINET-based industrial automation networks
• High-availability motion control systems
• Industrial backbones requiring fiber optic long-distance connectivity
• Environments demanding deterministic real-time data exchange

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Designed for standard DIN rail or wall mounting within an industrial control cabinet.
• Powering: Connect redundant power supplies to the designated terminals to maintain network availability during a single power source failure.
• Grounding: Ensure the switch chassis is correctly connected to the common system ground to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Fiber Handling: When connecting BFOC fiber cables, ensure the connectors are clean and free of dust to maintain signal integrity; avoid bending cables beyond the specified radius.
• Configuration: Utilize the C-plug for automated configuration backup, which allows for fast device replacement without needing manual network parameter re-entry.
