LEDs for 10GBase SFP+ transceivers (slot 0) Module slot locators LEDs for module ports Alarm status LED Power supply status LEDs ACO button Figure 1.5 Status panel Port status LEDs LEDs marked P1 to P4 indicate the status of the corresponding port.
The CLP has a USB type C interface and can be used with the following devices that have a corresponding interface: • Siemens products • Personal computers (PCs), such as desktop PCs, tablet PCs, laptops, or smartphones Position The CLP slot is located below the status panel.
Introduction 1.2.5 USB console port Figure 1.6 Configuration License PLUG (CLP) Function In the startup phase: • When a CLP with no data (default setting) is plugged into a device, the device automatically saves its configuration data on the CLP. • If a CLP with data is plugged into a device, the device automatically adopts the configuration installed on the CLP.
Introduction 1.2.6 Removable media Figure 1.7 USB console port 1.2.6 Removable media The device supports removable media, allowing users to change or expand the capabilities of the device to suit their application requirements. Figure 1.8 Removable media Slot Description Four transceiver sockets for 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit SFP+ transceivers. 1 to 6 Six slots for removable modules.
Siemens also does not recommend using copper Ethernet ports to interface with devices in the field across distances that could produce high levels of ground potential rise (i.e. greater than 2500 V), during line-to-ground fault conditions.
Introduction 1.4.2 Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-TX cabling recommendations 1.4.2 Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-TX cabling recommendations The IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard defines 1000 Mbps Ethernet communications over distances of up to 100 m (328 ft) using all 4 pairs in category 5 (or higher) balanced, unshielded twisted-pair cabling. For wiring guidelines, system designers and integrators should refer to the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) TIA/EIA-568-A wiring standard that characterizes minimum cabling performance specifications required for proper Gigabit Ethernet operation.
