2.5 Network Integration & Commissioning
Data Ports
The PROmesh P10X is equipped with 10 data ports that allow data transmission at up to 1.0 Gbit/s in
compliance with PROFINET standard 2.4. The actual data rate is negotiated by the device using auto-
negotiation.
Ports 1-8 are equipped with M12 D-coded ports, ports 9-10 with M12 X-coded ports.
Media Connection
The PROmesh P10X offers the possibility to connect M12 D-coded connectors (medium copper) on ports
1-8 and M12 X-coded connectors (medium copper) on ports 9-10.
This permits a high-performance connection of the field switch to the central control cabinet switch via
Gigabit ports. End devices can continue to be controlled via 100 Mbit/s.
Observe the applicable standards and fixed connections in the connector application when designing,
selecting, assigning, and assembling your data cable in order to ensure the longest possible cable length
and cascading of network segments in accordance with your media type.
Wiring
Connect your PROmesh P10X via the existing RJ-45 data ports using twisted pair cables of
category 5 (Cat 5) or higher with a maximum cable length of up to 100 m. We recommend the
PROFINET RJ45 connectors from Indu-Sol to improve the shielding.

2.6 Network Topologies & Redundancy
The devices of the PROmesh product family can be used in redundant networks, such as meshed
networks or rings, via different protocols in addition to being used in star-shaped switched Ethernet
networks.
Network Topologies
Classical Ethernet star structures (see Figure 4) can be linked to the PROmesh P10X switches without
additional configuration. The devices are ready for use immediately.
Figure 4: PROmesh P10X in a star network
Ring Structure
The PROmesh P10X fully supports the IEC 62439 standard, thereby enabling deterministic reconfiguration
of information forwarding in simple redundancy (ring topologies, see figure 7). This enables reconfiguration
times of up to 200 ms, depending on the size of your system.

The PROmesh P10X switches are equipped with a modern web interface that may be configured
comfortably from any web browser.
3.1 Preparations
Install the PROmesh P10X switch on the network before using web management and ensure that the PC
designated to configure the switches can access the switch through the web browser. The PROmesh P10X
and the client PC to be connected must be in the same IP address range and IP subnet. You must assign
an PROmesh P10X IP address at first use for this.
The following IP address, subnet mask, administrator username, and administrator password are set when
the device is shipped from the factory:
IP address: 0.0.0.0
Subnet mask: 0.0.0.0
Gateway: 0.0.0.0
Username: admin
Password: admin
Make sure to change the factory-set password when logging in for the first time. You are
responsible for documenting this password and protecting it from unauthorised access.

3.3 Web Interface
The following symbols are used in the web interface for a simple status display of the individual ports:
No error: The communication works without any errors.
Warning: At least one communication error (discards, error) has occurred on
the corresponding port, which has not yet led to a failure. The cause of these
events should be located and corrected.

Web Application
PROmesh P10X –User Manual 17
Error: A critical fault has occurred on the corresponding port, resulting in a
communication interruption. Urgent action is needed to correct the disruption.
There is no communication at the respective port. Either no device is
connected (potentially also at line interruption) or no telegram traffic can be
detected (serious fault in the network) or the devices no longer communicate.
3.4 Start
Successful login will lead to the main overview with the information bar, where the device name, the
installation location, and the IP address are displayed. The current user is displayed under the logout button
at the right end of the bar. You can log out by pushing the button. The help button displays notes and
explanations for the individual pages.
The port statistics provide an overall view of the state of the existing ports since the switch was started or
reset (history) and within the last second (last second). You can choose between two views. In the Overview
view:
Current partners
Transmission speed
Diagnostic messages
are displayed. In the Details view, the parameters of the overview and:
Mains load per s
Mains load per ms
Discards
Errors
Line quality value
are displayed.
The number of messages that have occurred is displayed in the message window. Clicking on the alarm
bell will automatically call up the entries in the message list. The messages as well as the counter status of
the ports can be deleted with the corresponding buttons.
The leakage current overview shows the current value between the RJ45 ports and the device’s top-hat
rail. It is possible to switch between the display of the peak value (peak) and the effective value (RMS) or
this. This information makes interference currents visible at an early stage, which can lead to direct
communication disturbances.
The top-hat rail must have been grounded properly in order to measure the leakage current
correctly.

3.6 Diagnosis
The diagnosis page provides an overview of the status of configured alarm triggers (alarm trigger configured
or not) for the individual diagnostic data acquired by the PROmesh P10X. The status for topology
determination and port mirroring is also displayed.
Line Diagnosis
Line diagnosis is available for ports 1 –8. The quality of the connected connections is checked cyclically
(every second). The line quality can lie between the values 100 and 0%. In this context, 0% corresponds
to a defective cable, i.e. no data exchange is possible.

Web Application
PROmesh P10X –User Manual 20
Figure 9: Quality value
Information bar chart
3 values are displayed per bar.
The grey part of each bar shows its maximum value. The lesser coloured part, bordered by a black line,
shows the current quality value. The colour-saturated part, which is bordered by a line with 2 arrows, shows
the worst quality value of the connection so far. Colouring of the bars is based on this, which is done in
accordance with the traffic light colour principle with green-yellow-red:
Green: The line quality is in order; no measures required.
Yellow. The defined threshold value of 30% was not reached. The line quality is not sufficient.
The connection should be checked at the next maintenance interval.
Red: No more data exchange can take place. Check the plug contacts and the data line.
A cable designation can be stored for each port in the port configuration menu. This can be displayed with
a “mouse-over” (moving the mouse pointer over the port).
Miscellaneous
The threshold value that turns the bar yellow and recommends checking the connection, can be adjusted
by the user. It is not recommended to set the threshold below 30%. The alarms menu can be used to define
alarms for the line quality value, which send messages via relay, SNMP, PROFINET, or email when a
threshold value is undershot.
