Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, solutions, machines, equipment and/or networks. They are
important components in a holistic industrial security concept. With this in mind, Siemens’
products and solutions undergo continuous development. Siemens recommends strongly
that you regularly check for product updates.
For the secure operation of Siemens products and solutions, it is necessary to take suitable
preventive action (e.g. cell protection concept) and integrate each component into a holistic,
state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Third-party products that may be in use should
also be considered. You will find more information about Industrial Security in:
Industrial security (http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity)

1.2
On the product
What is possible?
The media converters of the SCALANCE X-100 allow the cost-effective installation of
Industrial Ethernet linear (bus) and star structures with transitions from one media to
another.
The passive use of two identical SCALANCE X-100 media converters in series (cascaded)
within a redundant ring is possible. In this case, the media converters behave "like a section
of cable". A simple, passive coupling of two rings is also possible. See also "Coupling of
network segments (Page 14)".
Note
If devices are supplied over long 24 V power supply lines or networks, measures are
necessary to prevent interference by strong electromagnetic pulses on the supply lines.
These can result, for example, due to lightning or switching of large inductive load
s.
One of the tests used to attest the immunity of these devices to electromagnetic interference
is the "surge immunity test" according to EN 61000
-4-5. This test requires overvoltage
protection for the power supply lines. A suitable device is, for exampl
e, the Dehn Blitzductor
BVT AVD 24 V type no. 918 422 or a comparable protective element.
Manufacturer:
DEHN+SÖHNE GmbH+Co.KG Hans Dehn Str.1 Postfach 1640 D

Germany
WARNING
When used in hazardous environments corresponding to Class I, Division 2 or Class I,
Zone 2, the device must be installed in a cabinet or a suitable enclosure.
WARNING
To comply with EU Directive 94/9 (ATEX95), this enclosure must meet the requirements of
at least IP54 in compliance with EN 60529.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT WHEN A FLAMMABLE OR
COMBUSTIBLE ATMOSPHERE IS PRESENT.

WARNING
Ambient temperature above 55 °C
If a device is operated in an ambient temperature of more than 55 °C, the temperature of
the device housing may be higher than 70 °C. The device must therefore be installed so
that it is only accessible to service personnel or users that are aware of the reason for
restricted access and the required safety measures at an ambient temperature higher than
55 °C.

Unpacking and checking
WARNING
Do not use any parts that show evidence of damage
If you use damaged parts, there is no guarantee that the device will function according to
the specification.
If you use damaged parts, this can lead to the following problems:
•Injury to persons
•Loss of the approvals
•Violation of the EMC regulations
•Damage to the device and other components
Use only undamaged parts.
1. Make sure that the package is complete.
2. Check all the parts for transport damage.
Electrostatic discharge
NOTICE
Electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD)
Electronic modules contain electrostatic sensitive components
These components can easily be destroyed if handled incorrectly.
Note the following instructions to avoid damage.
•Touch electronic modules only when you absolutely need to work on them.
•If electronic modules need to be touched, the body of the person involved must first be
electrostatically discharged and grounded.
•Do not bring electronic modules in contact with electrically isolating materials such as
plastic film, isolating table top pads or clothing made of synthetic fibers.
•Place the modules only on conductive surfaces.
•Pack, store and transport electronic modules and components only in conductive
packaging such as metalized plastic or metal containers, conductive foam or household
aluminum foil.

Network topologies

2.1
Possible network topologies
Switching technology allows extensive networks to be set up with numerous nodes and
simplifies network expansion.
Which topologies can be implemented?
Using the media converters of the SCALANCE X-100 product line, you can implement bus
and star topologies. It is also possible to link rings and to use two identical media converters
in a ring structure. See also "Cascading two media converters (Page 26)".
Note
Keep to the maximum permitted cable lengths of the devices you are
using. You will find the
permitted cable lengths in the section "
Technical specifications (Page 41)".

Coupling of network segments
The example of a coupling between two ring networks using two SCALANCE X101-1 media
converters is only indirectly possible via nodes capable of redundancy (e.g. SCALANCE X-
400). This applies to all SCALANCE X-100 media converters.
The following figure shows the standby coupling of two redundant rings using the
master/slave concept of the SCALANCE X-400 with SCALANCE X101-1 or SCALANCE
X101-1LD media converters.

With the IE FC cables and IE FC RJ
-45 plugs 180, an overall cable length of a maximum of
100 m is permitted between two devices depending on the cab
le type.
Autonegotiation
With the autonegotiation mechanism, repeaters and end devices can automatically
determine the transmission speed and the transmission mode of the partner port. This
makes it possible to configure different devices automatically.

3.3 TP ports (twisted pair)
SCALANCE X-100 media converter
Operating Instructions, 04/2016, C79000-G8976-C346-02 19
Two components connected to a link segment can exchange information about the data
transfer and can adapt their settings to each other. The mode with the highest possible
speed is set.
Note
Devices not supporting autonegotiation
must be set permanently to 100 Mbps half duplex or
10
Mbps half duplex.
Auto polarity exchange
If the pair of receiving cables is connected incorrectly (RD+ and RD- interchanged), the
polarity is adapted automatically.
MDI / MDI-X autocrossover function
With the MPI/MDI-X autocrossover function, the send and receive contacts of an Ethernet
port are assigned automatically. The assignment depends on the cable with which the
communications partner is connected. This means that it does not matter whether the port is
connected using a patch cable or crossover cable. This prevents malfunctions resulting from
mismatching send and receive lines. This makes installation much easier for the user.
The SCALANCE X-100 media converters all support the MDI / MDI-X autocrossover
function.

FO port (fiber optic)
NOTICE
Failure of the data traffic due to contamination of optical plug-in connections
Optical sockets and plugs are sensitive to contamination of the end face. Contamination
can lead to the failure of the optical transmission network.
Close unused optical sockets and plugs as well as pluggable transceivers and slots with the
supplied protective caps.
Remove the protective caps only immediately before you use the plug-in connection.
3.4.1
SCALANCE X101-1
Transmission speed
The transmission speed of the optical Fast Ethernet port is 100 Mbps.
Transmission mode
The transmission mode for 100Base-FX is specified in the IEEE 802.3 standard.
Since the full duplex mode and the transmission speed cannot be modified for optical
transmission, autonegotiation cannot be used.
Transmission medium
Data transmission is via multimode fiber-optic cable (FO cable). The transceiver wavelength
is 1300 nm.
Multimode FO cable is used with a core diameter of 50 or 62.5 µm. The light source is an
LED.
The outer diameter of the FO cable is 125 µm.
Range
The maximum transmission range (segment length) is as follows:
●with 62.5/125 µm fiber multimode SIMATIC NET cable: 4 km
●with 50.0/125 µm fiber multimode SIMATIC NET cable: 5 km
Connectors
The cables are connected using BFOC sockets.
