General

FastConnect (FC) Twisted Pair (TP)

For structured cabling within a factory, the FC TP cabling system is ideal. Using the

FastConnect (FC) system for Industrial Ethernet, structured cabling from the office

environment has been further developed for use in factories.

FC cables can be assembled fast and simply on site. This means that RJ-45 cabling

technology, an existing standard, is also available in a version suitable for industry and

making such cabling possible in an industrial environment.

With the IE RJ-45 plug and FC cables, runs of up to 100 m cable length are possible without

patch technlogy.

Twisted pair (TP)cCord

The TP cord is used to connect end devices to the Industrial Ethernet FC cabling system. It

is intended for use in cabinets and is used mainly as a jumper cable. The jumper cable is

also now as a patch cable.

The maximum total length of the TP cord in a point-to-point connection is 50 m (IE TP cord

RJ4-5/RJ-45 4x2, CAT6A).

Standards

The EN 50173 standard describes the structured cabling of office buildings. IEC 24702

describes the structured building networking of an industrial building. The generally valid

description of networking an automated plant within an industrial building can be found in

IEC 61918. The profile-specific networking rules for PROFINET can be found in IEC 61784-

5-3.

Structured cabling

Structured cabling describes the cabling of building complexes for information technology

purposes regardless of the applications used. A building is divided into the following areas:

● Primary area: Interconnection of buildings of a site

● Secondary area: Interconnection between floors of a building

● Tertiary area: Information technology connectors for the end devices of a floor

The TP cord can be used as a patch cable and connecting cable between devices and on

patch panels.

The structured cabling that can be implemented with the Industrial EthernetFC system

corresponds to tertiary cabling according to the ISO/IEC 11801, IEC 24702 and EN 50173

standards.

The connector system M12/X coded according to IEC 61076-2-109

Description

M12 connectors with X coding are also suitable for transmission rates up to 210 Gbps

(Cat6A) because the shields of the wire pairs can be led into the connectors. A further

advantage is the availability of connectors with degree of protection IP67 with which the

equipped devices are also suitable for adverse environmental conditions (dust, dampness).

Due to the locking technology standardized for the M12 connectors a high resistance to

vibration is achieved. Numerous SCALANCE devices therefore provide connection options

for X coded M12 connectors.

IE TP cord

2.4.1

Introduction to TP cord

The TP cords are used inside buildings for distances up to 10 m. TP cord is also known as

patch cable. A maximum of 10 m of TP cord can be used between two devices. With

structured cabling using two TP cords, this length is the maximum for both patch cables

together.

Compared with the IE FC TP cables, the TP cords are thinner and more flexible.

Standardized RJ-45 plugs are used as the connectors.

● The TP cords 2x2 are suitable for a transmission rate of 10/100 Mbps.

● The TP cords 4x2 are suitable for a transmission rate of 10/100/1000 Mbps.

The 2 wires are twisted into a pair (PIMF). Each pair of wires is shielded by a plastic

laminated aluminum foil with an external contact surface. All the pairs making up the cable

are surrounded by a braided shield of tinplated copper braid with coverage of approximately

88 %. The outer sheath is PVC.

IE TP cord and IE TP XP cord

The TP cords are available as straight-through cables with the name "

IE TP Cord

" and as

crossover cables with the name "

IE TP XP Cord

To distinguish straight-through and crossover cables, the RJ-45 plugs are color-coded.

● not crossed over: RJ-45 plug, green at both ends

● crossed over: RJ-45 plug, red at both ends

IE FC TP cable

The FastConnect (FC) twisted-pair (TP) cables are shielded cables with a symmetrical radial

design and 100 ohms characteristic impedance.

The combination of twisted cores, foil screen and braided shield makes the FC cables

especially suitable for installation in industrial environments subject to electromagnetic

interference. When installed, the design also ensures a high degree of stability of electrical

and mechanical data.

Using the IE FC stripping tool, the outer jacket and shield of the FC TP cables can be

stripped to correct lengths in a single action.

All FC TP cables are UL-listed products and suitable for use in the USA and Canada. Cables

with this certification have the letters GP (General Purpose) in their names.

IE FC TP cable 2x2

The 4-wire FC TP cables are suitable for a transmission rate of 10 / 100 Mbps. The 4 wires

are twisted into a star quad.

below. The various FO cable types allow solutions for connecting the components with each

other adapted to the operating and environmental conditions.

The following fiber-optic cables are available for industrial Ethernet:

● Glass FO cables

● PCF FO cables (Polymer Cladded Fiber)

● POF FO cables (Polymer Optical Fiber)

Compared with electrical cables, fiber-optic cables have the following advantages:

Advantages

● Electrical isolation of nodes and segments

● No grounding problems,

● No shield currents,

● Transmission path immune to external electromagnetic noise,

● No lightning protection required,

● No noise emission along the transmission path,

● Light weight,

● Depending on the fiber type, cables several kilometers long can be used even at higher

transmission rates.

● The transmission rate does not affect the maximum permitted cable length

● The meter markers printed on the cable make it easier to identify the length. (Serve as

orientation; accuracy ±5 %.)

Point-to-point link

Fiber-optic technology only allows the implementation of point-to-point links; in other words,

one transmitter is connected to only one receiver. The transmission path between two nodes

requires two fibers (one for each transmission direction). With the optical components for

Industrial Ethernet, bus, star and ring structures can be implemented.

FOC links

Standard Fast Ethernet

The switches equipped with interfaces for 100BASE-FX correspond to the standard IEEE

802.3u. They operate at a wavelength of 1300 nm.

For the connection, multimode glass fibers of the type 50/125 µm are suitable.

Switches or media modules equipped with an optical interface for single mode glass fibers of

the type 10/125 µm have the supplement "LD (Long Distance) in their names.

The maximum length of the insertable FO section is decided by:

● the fiber type multimode / single mode

● the link attenuation of the FO cable at the wavelength being used

● the bandwidth length product of the FO cable

SIMATIC NET multimode glass FO cables

The SIMATIC NET product range for Industrial Ethernet contains various variants of

multimode glass fiber-optic cables with 50/125 µm fibers. When linking SIMATIC NET

Industrial Ethernet switches connected by SIMATIC NET multimode glass fiber-optic cables,

distances of up to 5000 m are possible between 3 neighboring components.

Note

Single mode glass fiber

-optic cables with the fiber type 10/125 µm are available as special

cables. You will find a contact in the section "Contacts for special cables and special lengths"

in this manual.

Standard 1 Gbps Ethernet

Similar to Fast Ethernet, with Gbps Ethernet a distinction is made between two versions that

are both described in the standard IEEE 802.3z.

1000BASE-SX is the designation for the version with multimode glass fibers. It operates with

a wavelength of 850 nm. Due to its properties, the same 50/125 µm fiber from the SIMATIC

NET product spectrum can be used that is also used for 100BASE-FX. The distance

between two points is 750 m. Taking into account the distance cabling with this fiber can be

upgraded later from 100 Mbps Ethernet to 1 Gbps without laying new cables.

The version for single mode glass fibers is called 1000BASE-LX. Here it operates with a

wavelength of 1300 nm. A single mode glass fiber-optic cable 10/125 m may be up to 10,000

m long.

In terms of the laying of the insertable FO section, the same dependencies apply as with

1000 Mbps Ethernet.

FC FO glass fiber-optic cable 62.5/200/230 µm

Description

Thanks to the fiber construction (62.5/200/230), it is possible to work with the FastConnect

FO fibers like traditional PCF fibers (Polymer Cladded Fiber). This means that users have

the advantages of glass FO cables (longer distances, resistant to temperature) and the

advantages of PCF fibers when fitting connectors.

With the FastConnect cables, glass FO runs of up to 3 km (100 Mbps Industrial Ethernet,

PROFIBUS) can be set up and the cable assembled on site. A complete link, can be made

up of up to 3 subsegments (2 splices) (average coupling loss of a splice approx. 2.5 dB). The

combination of already installed, traditional 62.5/125 µm multimode glass FO sections with

the new FastConnect FO cables is also possible.

The user can now assemble glass FO cable sections of the correct length for each specific

application easily and on site. Repairing installed FastConnect FO links is therefore simple

and can be performed without special service personnel (this does not apply to already

installed cables - it applies only when FastConnect FO was used).

Plastic fiber-optic cables

3.4.1

Overview

The plastic fiber-optic cable is available with PCF fibers (Polymer Cladded Fiber) and POF

fibers (Plastic Optical Fiber).

Properties

Plastic fibers have several properties that differ from those of glass fibers. For example, the

maximum possible cable length is shorter with glass fibers due to the higher attenuation and

the bandwidth is smaller. Plastic fibers require far less effort to assemble on site compared

with glass fibers.

The use of plastic fibers is particularly attractive when networking islands for example with

the ET 200. In this case, small distances up to a maximum of 50 m can be covered with the

plastic fibers.

3.4.2

POF Standard Cable GP 980/1000

Description

The Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) standard cable GP consists of two plastic fibers with a

rugged polyamide inner jacket. The inner jacket is surrounded by Kevlar strengthening

elements and a green PVC outer jacket. The POF standard cable GP can be assembled on

site. The cable is fitted with SC RJ connectors for devices with an integrated optical

interface.

Devices with an integrated optical interface include, for example SCALANCE X200-4P IRT,

SCALANCE X201-3P IRT, SCALANCE X202-2P IRT, SCALANCE X101-1POF, ET 200S.

The individual steps required to assemble a 4-wire IE FC cable and an IE FC RJ-45 plug 180

are explained below.

Note

Fitting the IE FC RJ-45 plug 90 and the IE FC RJ-45 plug 145

The figures show how to fit an IE FC RJ

-45 plug 180. To fit the IE FC RJ-45 plug 145 and

the IE FC RJ

-45 plug 90, the procedure is analogous

Refer to the information in this section "Industrial Ethernet FastConnect stripping tool

(Page 130)" and the installation instructions for the plug.

Note

Instructions for assembly

•

The insulation-piercing contacts of the IE FC RJ-

45 plug can be released and recontacted

up to 10 times.

•

Once the ends of cables have made contact, do not make contact with them

again but cut

them off.

•

Do not pull on the plug when releasing it.

•

To assemble a cable with crossed over wires, connect the color-coded wires at one end

of the cable in the connector as shown below:

– connect white with yellow

–

connect blue with orange

Connector pinout

With the four integrated insulation piercing contacts, establishing contact with the FC cable

variants is simple and error-proof. With the casing open, colored markers on the contact

cover make it simple to connect the cores to the insulation piercing contacts. The transparent

synthetic material of the contact cover allows the user to check the contacts at any time.

General notes on installation

CAUTION

Risk of injury due to material remnants

During assembly fibers of the fiber-optic cable are separated with the cleave tool. These

material remnants can cause injuries. While cleaving you should therefore wear protective

glasses and dispose of the fiber remnants in the fiber container that ships with the

termination kit.

NOTICE

Damage to cables and devices through improper handling

Note the following points to avoid damage to cables and devices:

• Never exceed the maximum permitted forces (tensile strain, transverse compression

etc.) specified in the data sheet of the cable you are using. Excessive transverse

compression can, for example, arise when using screw-down clamps to secure the

cable.

• Install FO cables so that exposed wires and LC connectors are not subjected to tensile

stress.

• When cutting cable sections to length, make sure that no loops result and that the cable

is not twisted. Loops and torsion can cause kinks or tears under tensile load and cause

damage to the cable.

• Never insert dirty LC connectors or LC connectors with protruding fibers into the device

sockets. This can destroy the optical transmit and receive elements.

Suitability of the components used

Make sure that the selected cable is suitable for your particular application, in particular

regarding the following properties.

● Required temperature range.

● Resistance of the jacket materials to chemicals, water, oils, rodents etc. to which your

cable will be exposed when in use.

● Required mechanical properties (bending radii, tensile strain, transverse compression)

● Requirements regarding the behavior of the cable in fire.

● Suitability of the cable and connectors for the devices being connected

● If in doubt, use a special cable to meet your requirements. Your SIMATIC NET contact in

your Siemens branch will be happy to advise you.

● Only use FC FO fiber-optic cables in conjunction with devices approved for these cables.

Remember the maximum permitted cable lengths.

Fitting connectors

● Follow the steps described in these installation instructions and use only the tools

specified here.

● When stripping the wire jacket, use only the opening labeled 1.0 mm on the stripping

pliers.

● If you find that the edge breaks are on the increase, the cleave tool should be sent in for

inspection. When used correctly, up to 2000 assemblies are possible. If you need to

return the tool, talk to your Siemens contact.

● As soon as the screw-down nut of an assembled LC connector has been loosened, the

LC connector must be reassembled.

Using the assembled cables

● Make sure that the outer jacket, the jackets of the cores, and the FC FO optical fibers are

not damaged.

● Close unused LC connectors with dust protection caps. Remove the dust protection caps

only immediately before connecting cables together or plugging cables into devices.

● When assembling adapters for connectors or when connecting the cable to them, make

sure that send and receive lines are crossed over.

SIMATIC NET components

Ventilation openings

The casings of most SIMATIC NET network components have ventilation openings. To allow

more effective cooling of the electronics components, ambient air can flow through the

casing. The maximum operating temperatures quoted in the technical specifications apply

only when there is unrestricted flow of air through the ventilation openings.

Depending on the size of the ventilation openings, such modules comply with degree of

protection IP 20, IP 30 to IP 40. You will find the precise degree of protection of a SIMATIC

NET component in its operating instructions.

Components with the degrees of protection mentioned above do not provide protection

against dust and water! If the installation site requires such protection, the components must

be installed in an additional enclosure such as a switching cubicle that provides the higher

degree of protection (for example IP65/ IP67).

If you install these components in an additional enclosure, make sure that the conditions

required for operation are maintained!

Heat dissipation

Make sure that the temperature inside the additional enclosure does not exceed the

permitted ambient temperature for the installed components. Select an enclosure with

adequate dimensions or use heat exchangers.

Outdoor installation

If you install the equipment outdoors, make sure that the additional enclosure is not

subjected to direct sunlight. This can lead to a considerable rise in temperature within the

enclosure.

Clearances

Make sure that there is adequate clearance around the component so that

● the convection cooling of the component is not restricted

● components do not cause neighboring components to heat up more than permitted

● there is enough space for installing cabling

● there is enough space to remove components for maintenance or repair.

IP degrees of protection

General

Electrical equipment is normally surrounded by a protective casing.

The purpose of this casing includes

● Protection of persons from touching live components or moving parts

(accidental contact protection)

● Protection of equipment from intrusion of solid foreign bodies (solid body protection)

● Protection of equipment from ingress of water (water protection).

IEC 60529, EN 60529 /15/

The degree of protection specifies the degree to which the casing meets these

three protective functions.

The degrees of protection are specified uniformly in the "International Standard IEC 60529"

or in the identical European standard EN 60529.

The degree of protection of a casing is indicated by a code. The code consists of the letters

IP (International Protection) followed by a code number for contact, solid body and water

protection as shown below:

In some situations, the degree of protection is specified in even greater detail by adding

letters to the code numbers.

Scope of protection

The various degrees of protection are listed briefly in Tables 1-1 and 1-2. For more detailed

information on the individual ratings and the test conditions that must be fulfilled, please refer

General notes on networking bus cables

Bus cables in plants

Bus cables are important connections for communication between individual components of

an automation system. Mechanical damage or repeated electrical interference affecting

these bus connections reduces the transmission capacity of the system. In extreme cases,

such problems can lead to failure of the entire automation system. The following sections

explain how to protect cables from mechanical and electrical impairment.

Shielding and grounding concept

Bus cables connect programmable controllers. These in turn are connected to transducers,

power supply units, peripheral devices etc. over cables.

All the components together form a complex electrically networked automation system.

When connecting system components via electrical cables (in this case bus cables),

remember to take into account the requirements of the overall system structure.

Connecting cables, in particular, influence the shielding and grounding concept. Shielding

and grounding an electrical installation serves the following purposes:

● Protects both humans and animals from dangerous network voltages

● Prevents unacceptable noise emission and susceptibility to noise

● Protects the system from overvoltage (for example lightning protection)

Networking SIMATIC with SIMATIC NET

SIMATIC NET network components and SIMATIC automation components are designed to

operate together taking into account the aspects listed above. By keeping to the installation

instructions described in the system manuals and in the following sections of this book, your

automation system will meet the legal and normal industrial requirements for safety and

noise immunity.

6.3.2

Protection from electric shock

Twistedpair signal level

The signal levels on twisted pair cables are in the range of only a few volts. Correctly

installed and operated twisted-pair cables do not have dangerous electrical voltages.

Nevertheless you should remember the following rules when installing the power

supply for all components (end devices, bus components, etc.) that you want to connect to

twistedpair cable.

Installing network components in cabinets

6.3 Guidelines for setting up networked automation systems in buildings

Passive network components

206 System Manual, 05/2016, C79000-G8976-C271-01

Operation with 24 V DC

Numerous SIMATIC NET components require a voltage of 24 V DC as their operating

voltage or as auxiliary contact voltage. This power supply must meet the requirements of an

extralow voltage with reliable electrical isolation from the main power system, complying with

IEC 60950 or EN 60950 /18/.

Operation with line power

Components operated with line power must meet the requirements for protection against

electric shock as stipulated in EN 60950 /18/, EN 611312 /20/, EN 61010 /19/ or other

applicable product standards.

All the signals of the twistedpair port must meet the requirements of reliable electrical

isolation from the line power supply, complying with IEC 60950 or EN 60950 /18/.

Cabling components

Conductive cable path systems, barriers, and accessories must be included in the protective

measures preventing indirect contact (protection against illegal dangerous contact voltage).

Grounding conductors (PE) and equipotential bonding conductors must be installed

according to the requirements of systems in buildings complying with HD 384.4.41

(protection against electric shock) and HD 384.5.54 (grounding and grounding conductor).

The use of EN 501742 is recommended for the separation of low voltage cabling and IT

cabling.

The requirements of HD 384.4.47 S2 (application of measures for protection against electric

shock) and HD 384.4.482 S1 (selection of protective measures as a function of external

influences) and appropriate national or local regulations must be adhered to.

Safe initial state of the system in case of faults

Problems on communication connections must not be allowed to put system users at risk.

Cable or wire breaks must not lead to undefined statuses in the plant or system.

6.3.3

Mechanical protection of bus cables

Protection of electrical and optical bus cables

Mechanical protection is required to protect bus cables from breaks or mechanical damage.

Note

The measures described here for mechanical protection apply both to electrical and

optical

cables.

Measures for mechanical protection

The following measures are recommended to protect bus cables from physical damage:

● When cable cannot be installed on a cable rack or similar construction, it should be

installed in a conduit (for example PG 11-16)

● In areas where the cable is subject to mechanical stress, install the cable in a heavy-

gauge aluminum conduit or in a heavy-gauge plastic conduit (see Figure 1–5)

● When 90° bends are necessary and at the junctions between buildings (for example

expansion joints), a break in the conduit is acceptable only when there is no likelihood of

damage to the cable, for example due to falling objects (see Figure 1–6).

● In areas where the cable is likely to be walked on or driven over in buildings or in

machines, install the cable in a closed heavy-gauge aluminum or steel conduit or in a

metal cable gutter.

Redundant bus cables

The installation of redundant bus cables involves special requirements. Redundant cables

should always be installed on separate cable racks to avoid simultaneous damage by the

same event.

Install bus cables separately

To prevent accidental damage to bus cables, they should be clearly visible and should be

separate from all other wiring and cables. To improve EMC, it is often advisable to install the

bus cables in a separate cable channel or in conductive metal tubes. Such measures also

make it easier to localize a faulty cable.

6.3.4

Electromagnetic compatibility of fiberoptic cables

Fiberoptic cables

For communications between buildings and/or external facilities, the use of fiberoptic cables

is generally recommended. Due to the optical transmission principle, fiberoptic cables are

not affected by electromagnetic interference. Measures for equipotential bonding and for

overvoltage protection are unnecessary with fiberoptic cables.

Note

Fiber

optic cables are ideally suited for connections in areas with high EMI levels.

Remember, however, that bus components operating on an electrical basis such as OLMs,

OSMs etc. may require additional noise protection measures if they

are operated in such

areas. These must be protected against unacceptable interference using the measures

already mentioned such as shielding, grounding, minimum clearance to sources of

interference etc.

6.3.5

Connecting fiber-optic cables

BFOC plug-in connectors

Among other things, Industrial Ethernet fiber optic network components use glass fiber-optic

cables with ST/BFOC connector technology.

NOTICE

Protecting FO plug-in connectors from contamination

Fiber-plug-in connectors are susceptible to contamination and mechanical damage to the

face. Protect open connectors with the supplied dust caps. Remove the dust protection only

immediately before establishing the connection.

6.3.6

Electromagnetic compatibility of bus cables

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the capability of a electrical equipment to function

satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without influencing this environment and

interfering with other equipment belonging to it (in compliance with DIN VDE 0870).

This mutual influence can take the form of electrical, magnetic, and electromagnetic effects.

These effects can spread both over cable connections (for example a common power

supply) or due to radiated interference affecting the cable.

To avoid interference affecting electrical systems, these effects must be reduced to a certain

level. The measures involved in achieving this limitation include the design, construction, and

correct connection of bus cables. The components and bus cables for SIMATIC NET

6.3.6.1

Equipotential bonding system

Aims of equipotential bonding

The noise immunity of extended electronic automation systems or, in general, information

technology systems largely depends on the suitable design of the grounding and

equipotential bonding system of the building.

Equipotential bonding and grounding have two essential aims:

● Protection from the dangers of electricity

– by limiting the contact voltage and creating a fault to ground path

● Improvement of electromagnetic compatibility

– by creating a reference potential and equalizing potential differences between parts of

the system

– by shielding.

Causes of potential differences

Wherever electric currents flow, magnetic fields are produced that in turn induce stray

currents in electrically conductive materials. Induced stray currents can therefore not be

avoided in the vicinity of electrical consumers (drives, electronic controls, lighting etc.) and

their power supply cables. They spread in all conductor loops. Conductor loops are formed

by parts of buildings such as metal banisters on staircases, water pipes or central heating

pipes as well as through the shields of electrical data cables and the protective ground

connectors of electrical devices (PE). The flow of current produces a voltage drop. This can

be measured as a potential difference between two locations within the system.

Extremely high potential differences between two grounding points result from lightning

strikes.

Effects of potential differences in information technology systems

If locations with different grounding potential are connected via cables, currents will flow. The

currents flow on all connections between these two points, for example also on the signal

cables or cable shields connecting them. Attached devices can be disturbed or even

destroyed.

The aim of a grounding and equipotential bonding system is to ensure that the currents flow

in the grounding system and not in the electronic circuits.

Measures for grounding and equipotential bonding

According to EN 50310 /21/, a "common bonding network CBN" with a fine mesh of

conductive elements must be created in buildings with information technology systems.

Systems that extend beyond one floor and that are interconnected by electrical bus cables

require a threedimensional CBN with a lattice construction resembling a Faraday cage.

With the following measures, you can create a grounding and bonding system that will

improve EMC:

● Include all the metal parts of a building in a common bonding network (CBN) with low

impedance and high current carrying capacity. To this network, you should then connect

the main grounding terminal or bar, grounding conductors, metal conduits, reinforcing

rods, equipotential bonding ring conductor, cable racks and any additional bonding

conductors.

● Connect all inactive metal parts in the immediate vicinity of your automation components

and bus cables to the bonding system ensuring good conductivity. This includes all metal

parts of cabinets, machine parts etc. that have no electrical function in the automation

system.

● Include metal, conductive cable channels/racks in the equipotential bonding of the

building and between the individual parts of the system. The individual segments of the

channels/racks must be connected together with low inductance and low resistance and

connected to the CBN system as often as possible. Expansion joints and angled

connections should be bridged by additional flexible grounding bands. The connections

between the individual segments of channels must be protected from corrosion to ensure

longterm stability.

● The effectiveness of equipotential bonding is greater when the impedance of the bonding

conductor is low.

● The impedance of the additional bonding conductor must not exceed 10% of the shield

impedance of parallel Industrial Twisted Pair cables.

● Protect the bonding conductor from corrosion.

System Manual, 05/2016, C79000-G8976-C271-01 213

● Install the bonding conductor so that the area enclosed by the bonding conductor and

signal cables is as small as possible.

● Use copper or galvanized steel for the bonding conductor.

Figure 6-4 Example of meshed bonding system

For information about grounding and bonding techniques, refer to the system manuals of the

SIMATIC S7300 /9/, S7400 /10/ programmable controllers.

Note

Equipotential

bonding is unnecessary if the sections of a system are connected exclusively

using fiber

optic cable (FO).

6.3.6.2

Requirements of the AC power distribution system

General

HD 384.3 S2 (IEC 603643:1993, modified, /22/) describes various power distribution

systems (TNS, TNC,S, TNC, TT and IT systems). Additional national or local regulations

stipulate the measures required for protection against electric shock and stipulate the

requirements for a grounding system (see also section 1.2 Protection against electric shock).

The outer surfaces of switching cubicles, device housings, connectors and bus cables are

conductive to provide shielding and must be connected to the grounding system to ensure

safety. To ensure that the EMC shield effect is achieved, they make further requirements of

the grounding system and grounding of the power distribution system. These result in an

alternating power distribution system with noncurrent carrying grounding conductors, for

example as in the TNS system.

Cable shields are part of the equipotential bonding network of a system.

Since the shields of twistedpair cables are included in the bonding system, all the currents

coupled into the bonding system of a building or plant flow through them.

Depending on the intensity and frequency range, these shield currents can cause

disturbances in data communication. Measures must therefore be taken to avoid the

alternating power distribution system of a plant including the bonding system in the power

return cabling. A TN-S system with separate cables or N and PE, for example, meets these

requirements. The EN 50310:2000 /21/ standard provides detailed guidelines for installing a

network system for supplying information technology equipment.

Note

End devices and /or network components

connected over shielded twistedpair cables must

only be supplied by alternating power distribution systems whose grounding conductors

cannot contribute to the transmission of energy. There must be no PEN cable within the

entire system. This condition is m

et, for example, by a TNS system.

Signal connections in existing installations

If unexplained, sporadic disturbances occur in data processing systems or on their

communication connections, it is advisable to check for unwanted shield currents. These can

be measured simply by inserting the cable in question in a clipon ammeter. Currents higher

than approximately 0.1 A indicate problems in the electrical installation, for example in the

TNC system.

If the alternating current power system supplies a large number of electronic devices or

electronically controlled consumers, the highest interference currents can generally be

observed at the third harmonic of the frequency.

Installing network components in cabinets

6.3 Guidelines for setting up networked automation systems in buildings

Passive network components

System Manual, 05/2016, C79000-G8976-C271-01 215

Other signs of an unsuitable alternating current power supply are as follows:

● Currents on the PE conductor

● Currents through water pipes and heating pipes

● Progressive corrosion at grounding terminals, on lightning conductors, and water pipes.

Remember that sporadic events such as switching, short circuits, or atmospheric discharge

(lightning strike) can cause current peaks in the system many times higher than the

measured average value.

Troubleshooting

The following measures are suitable for troubleshooting:

● Restructuring the power distribution system (to form a TNS system)

● Replacing the electrical data cabling with fiberoptic cables

● Installing an equipotential bonding conductor parallel to the disturbed data cabling.

Note

If shield currents on bus cables cause problems in communication, the safest often

cheapest solution is to

replace the disturbed electrical bus connection with a fiberoptic

cable.

Example of installing FO cable in a TNCS system

The graphic below illustrates the relationships between the structure of the alternating

current network, equipotential bonding system, and information technology cabling in a

building.

Three PCs and three S7300 PLCs represent the information technology system. These are

networked using two OSMs. The housing of all the end devices and the OSMs are correctly

connected to the grounding and bonding system of the building. The PCs are connected to

the system via the PE contact of their power supply cable. The housing of the OSMs and the

racks of the S7300 PLCs are connected either directly or via a switching cubicle housing

locally to the CBN. The shields of the twistedpair cables interconnect all the device housings

and are therefore connected to the grounding and bonding systems at both ends.

The horizontal power distribution within a floor corresponds to the requirements of a TNS

system. The neutral cable N and grounding conductor PE are separate cables. The PE

grounding conductor does not contribute to the power supply of the devices. The parallel

cable shields of the twistedpair cables are therefore also free of neutral cable currents.

The vertical, interfloor power distribution is designed as a TNC system (common PEN cable

for N and PE). The PEN is the return cable of the power supply of all connected consumers.

A connection between the two OSMs at the righthand edge of the picture over shielded

twistedpair cables would allow the return cable current of the PEN to flow through the entire

bonding system, all PE cables, and all cable shields on both floors. It is therefore strongly

recommended to implement the interfloor connection between the two OSMs with fiberoptic

cables.

6.3.6.3

Shielding devices and cables

Shielding cables

The high degree of noise immunity of SIMATIC NET twisted-pair copper networks is

achieved by the exclusive use of shielded twisted-pair cables. The highly symmetrical

twisted signal wires are surrounded by a combination of foil and braided mesh shields. The

shield makes large-area, conductive contact with the casing of the attached end device or

network component at both ends of the twisted-pair cable via the connector/outlet. The entire

communications electronics, consisting of transmitter and receiver chips as well as the signal

cables is protected from electromagnetic influence from the outside world by a closed

"cocoon" of electrically conductive device casing and cable shield.

Note

The values specified for noise emission and noise immunity in the technical specifications of

all SIMATIC NET Industrial Ethernet components assumes the use of shielded twisted

-pair

cables.

As explained in the installation rules for the devices, the shields of the twisted

-pair cables

must make good conductive contact with the device housings at both

ends. This is ensured

by the SIMATIC NET connectors designed specially to match the devices.

If, on the other hand, the rules are ignored and unshielded cables are used or the shields do

not make contact with the casing at both ends, there is no longer

any guarantee that the

technical data regarding noise emission and noise immunity will apply. In this case, the

operators of the system must take responsibility themselves for compliance with the legal

limit values for noise emission and noise immunity (C

E mark)!

Handling bus cable shields

Note the following points about cable shields:

● Use SIMATIC NET twisted-pair cables throughout your system. The shields of these

cables have an adequate density to meet the legal requirements regarding noise

emission and immunity.

● Always contact the shields of bus cables at both ends. The legal requirements for noise

emission and noise immunity in your system (CE marking) can only be achieved when

the shields make contact at both ends.

● Secure the shield of the bus cable to the connector casing.

6.3 Guidelines for setting up networked automation systems in buildings

Passive network components

218 System Manual, 05/2016, C79000-G8976-C271-01

● If cables are installed permanently, it is advisable to remove the insulation of the shielded

cable and to establish contact on the shield/PE conductor bar.

Note

If there is a potential difference

between the grounding points, an illegally high

compensating current can flow through the shield grounded at both ends. To rectify the

problem, do not, under any circumstances, open the shield of the bus cable.

This problem can be solved in the following w

ays:

● Install an additional bonding conductor parallel to the bus cable that takes over the shield

current.

● Use fiber-optic cable instead of electrical cable (safest solution).

Establishing shield contact

When contacting the cable shields, please note the following points:

● Secure the braided shield with metal cable clamps.

● The clamps must make good and large-area contact with the shield.

● Contact SIMATIC NET twisted-pair cables only using the braided copper shield and not

the aluminum foil shield. The foil shield is connected to a plastic foil to increase tearing

strength and is therefore non-conductive.

● Contact the shield with the shielding bar directly at the point at which the cable enters the

cabinet.

Figure 6-6 Securing shielded cables with cable clamps and ties (schematic representation)

● When removing the sheath of the cable, make sure that the braid shield of the cables is

not damaged.

● To allow good contact between grounding elements, tin-plated or galvanically stabilized

surfaces are ideal. With galvanized surfaces, the necessary contact should be achieved

using suitable screws. Painted surfaces should be avoided at the contact points.

● Unless specifically intended for this purpose, shield clamps and contacts should not be

used for strain relief. The contact with the shielding bar could be impaired or be broken

altogether.

Special noise suppression measures

Connecting switched inductances to suppressors

Some inductive switching devices (for example relays) create interference voltages that are

a multiple of the connected operating voltage. The SIMATIC S7-300 /9/ and S7-400 /10/

system manuals contain suggestions on how to limit the interference voltages caused by

inductance by connecting them to suppressors.

Power supply for programming devices

It is advisable to include a power socket for programming devices in each cabinet. The

socket must be supplied by the same system to which the PE conductor for the cabinet is

connected.

System Manual, 05/2016, C79000-G8976-C271-01 221

Cabinet lighting

Use bulbs for the cabinet lighting, for example LINESTRA lamps. Avoid the use of

fluorescent lamps since they cause interference. If you need to use fluorescent lamps, take

the measures shown in the figure below.

Figure 6-8 Measures for interference suppression of fluorescent lamps in a cabinet

6.3.7

Arrangement of devices and cables

Adequate clearance to reduce the effects of interference

One simple but nevertheless effective method of reducing the effects of interference is to

keep the "culprit" and "victim" devices and cables as far apart from each other as possible.

Inductive and capacitive interference injection declines in proportion to the square of the

distance of the elements involved. This means that doubling the clearance reduces the

effects of interference by a factor of four. Taking certain aspects into account during the

planning phase of a building generally incurs little extra cost and can save considerable

effort later.

Standards recommending the spatial arrangement of devices and cables

EN 501742 /13/ includes recommendations on the spatial arrangement of devices and

cables with the aim of achieving the lowest possible mutual interference.

6.3.7.1

The influence of power distribution systems (EN 501742, 6.4.4.2)

Planning the electrical installations

To avoid the power distribution system affecting sensitive devices, the following points must

be taken into account when planning the electrical installation:

● Possible sources of interference, for example voltage distributors, voltage transformers,

elevators, high currents in power supply bars, must be located at a suitable distance from

sensitive devices;

● Metal pipes (for example for water, gas, heating) and cables should enter the building at

the same point;

● The metal surfaces, shields, metal pipes, and connections of such conduits must be

connected with lowresistance conductors to the main bonding conductor of the building;

● Using a common cable route for lowvoltage cable and signal cables with adequate

separation (either by clearance or shielding) between the two to avoid large induction

loops that are created by the different lowvoltage cabling;

● The use of either a single multicore cable for all power supplies or (in the case of higher

power requirements) of conductor bars with weak magnetic fields.

6.3.7.2

Cable categories and clearances

Fiberoptic cables

When using fiberoptic cables, mechanical protection is necessary, however the EMC rules

do not apply.

Grouping in categories

It is useful to group wires and cables into various categories according to the signals they

carry, possible interference signals, and their sensitivity to interference. Minimum clearances

can be specified for these categories so that interferencefree operation can be expected

under normal operating conditions if the clearance is adhered to.

Constraints

Grouping cables according to voltage classes assumes that the interference voltages relate

directly to the power supply voltage conducted (the lower the supply voltage, the lower the

interference voltage). Remember, however, that DC or 50 Hz power supply voltages do not

represent any danger to Industrial Ethernet bus cables. The critical interference voltages in

the kHz to MHz frequency range are created by the consumers connected to the cable. A 24

V DC cable with which a relay is switched regularly has a far more critical interference range

than a 230 V cable supplying a lightbulb.

In the information shown below, it is assumed that all the components within an automation

system and all the plant components controlled by the system (for example machines, robots

Installing network components in cabinets

6.3 Guidelines for setting up networked automation systems in buildings

Passive network components

System Manual, 05/2016, C79000-G8976-C271-01 223

etc.) at least meet the requirements of the European standards for electromagnetic

compatibility in an industrial environment. If devices are defective or incorrectly installed,

higher interference voltages must be expected!

The following is assumed:

● The cables for analog signals, data signals and process signals are always shielded.

● The distance from the cables to the chassis surface of the system (cabinet wall, grounded

and conducting cable channel, ...) is not more than 10 cm.

Note

In general, the greater the distance between cables and the shorter the distances over

which the cables run parallel to each other, the less the danger of interference.

How to read the table

1. Find the cable type of the first cable in column 1 (Cables for ...).

2. Find the cable type of the second cable in the relevant section in column 2 (and cables for

Cabling within closets

When running cables within cubicles and cabinets, remember the following rules:

● Install the cables in metallic, electrically conductive cable channels.

● Screw the cable channels to the struts of the rack or cubicle walls approximately every 50

cm making lowresistance and lowinductance contact.

● Separate the cables according to the categories as shown in table 1-1.

● Maintain the minimum clearance between the cables of different categories as explained

in table 1-1. In general, the risk of interference due to crosstalk is less the greater the

clearance between the cables.

● Where cables of different categories cross, they should cross approximately at right

angles (wherever possible avoid sections where the cables run parallel).

● The shields of all cables entering the wiring closet should make largearea contact with

closet ground as close as possible to the point of entry.

6.3.7.4

Cabling within buildings

When laying cables outside cabinets but within buildings, note the following points:

● Install the cables in metallic, electrically conductive cable channels.

● Include the metal cable channels and racks in the bonding system of the building or plant.

Note the information on equipotential bonding in Section 1.3 in this manual.

Installing network components in cabinets

6.3 Guidelines for setting up networked automation systems in buildings

Passive network components

System Manual, 05/2016, C79000-G8976-C271-01 225

● Separate the cables according to the categories as described in table 11 and run the

various categories in their own channels/racks.

● If there is only one common metal channel available for all categories, either the

clearances shown in Table 11 must be maintained or the individual categories should be

separated from each other by metallic partitions. The partitions must be connected to the

channel making lowresistance and lowinductance contact.

● Cable racks should cross each other at right angles.

6.3.7.5

Cabling outside buildings

Using fiberoptic cables

Industrial Twisted Pair is intended for use within buildings (tertiary area). The installation of

Industrial Twisted Pair cables between buildings in not permitted. LAN connections between

buildings and between buildings and external facilities are only possible with fiberoptic

cables (FO). Due to the optical transmission principle, fiberoptic cables are not affected by

electromagnetic interference. Measures for equipotential bonding and overvoltage protection

are unnecessary with fiberoptic cables.

6.3.8.1

Installation instructions for electrical and optical bus cables

General

During installation, remember that bus cables can only be subjected to a certain amount of

mechanical strain. Cables can be damaged or even destroyed by too much tensile stress or

pressure, by torsion or by bending them too sharply. The following instructions will help you

to avoid damage when installing bus cables. If cables are subjected to too much strain or

stress for one or more reasons, they should always be replaced.

Storage and transport

During storage, transportation and cabling, the open ends of the bus cable (without

connectors) must be kept closed with a shrink-on cover to prevent oxidation of the cores and

to keep dampness out of the cable.

Installing network components in cabinets

6.3 Guidelines for setting up networked automation systems in buildings

Passive network components

226 System Manual, 05/2016, C79000-G8976-C271-01

Temperatures

During transportation, cabling and operation, the cable must not be exposed to temperatures

below the specified minimum temperature or above the specified maximum temperature

otherwise the electrical and mechanical characteristics of the cables can deteriorate. The

permitted temperature ranges of your bus cable can be found in the technical data sheets of

the particular bus cables.

Tensile strength

The tensile force exerted on the cables during or after installation must not exceed the limits

of tensile strength of the cables. The permitted tensile loads of your bus cable can be found

in the technical data sheets of the particular bus cables.

Pull in assembled cables using cable grips

To pull in assembled cables, make sure that you use cable grips. These surround the fitted

plugs and protect them from damage while pulling them in.

Fitting strain relief

Make sure that you provide strain relief approximately 1 m from the connection point on all

cables subject to tensile loading. Shield clamps are not adequate for strain relief!

Pressure load

Too much pressure on the cables must also be avoided, for example pinching the cable

when securing it in position.

Torsoion

Torsion can lead to the elements of a cable being displaced and degrading the electrical

characteristics of cables. Bus cables must therefore not be twisted.

Bending radii

To avoid damage within the bus cables, they must at no time be bent more sharply than the

minimum bending radius. Note:

● When pulling in cables under tensile load, larger bending radii must be adhered to than

when the cable is in its final installed status.

● Bending radii for non-circular cables apply only to bending the flat, broader surface.

Bends in the narrower surface require much greater radii.

The permitted bending radii of your bus cable can be found in the technical data sheets of

the particular bus cables.

Installing network components in cabinets

6.3 Guidelines for setting up networked automation systems in buildings

Passive network components

System Manual, 05/2016, C79000-G8976-C271-01 227

Avoid loops

When laying bus cables, unwind them at a tangent from the cable drum or use appropriate

rotary tables. This prevents loops forming and resulting in kinks and torsion.

Installing other cables

When laying bus cables remember that bus cables must not be subjected to excessive strain

and stress when installed. This can, for example, happen when cables have been installed

along with other cables on a common rack or in a common duct (providing this is electrically

permitted) and then new cables are pulled along the same path later (during repairs or when

extending a system).

6.3.8.2

Additional instructions on installing fiberoptic cables

Protecting connectors from contamination

Fiber-optic cable connectors are sensitive to contamination. Unconnected plugs and sockets

must be protected with the supplied dust caps.

Attenuation variations under load

During installation, fiber-optic cables must not be twisted, stretched or squashed. The

specified limit values for tensile strain, bending radii and temperature ranges must be

adhered to. During installation, the attenuation values can vary slightly, these variations are,

however, reversible providing the strain limits are not exceeded.

Pulling cables using cable grips and protect connectors

To pull in cables without Kevlar pull-in aids use cable grips. Before fitting the cable grip,

make sure that the connectors of preassembled cables are protected from the pressure

exerted by the cable grip, for example using a piece of protective tube.

Fitting strain relief

Although the ST/BFOC plugs have their own strain relief and kink protection, it is advisable

to arrange for additional strain relief as close as possible to the connected device to protect

against mechanical strain.

Plan adequate attenuation reserves

When installing the cables over long distances, it is advisable to plan in one or more repair

splice connections in the attenuation budget.

Installing network components in cabinets

6.3 Guidelines for setting up networked automation systems in buildings

Passive network components

228 System Manual, 05/2016, C79000-G8976-C271-01

EMC robustness

Fiber-optic cables are immune to electromagnetic interference. Installing cables in cable

channels along with other cables (for example 230 V/380 V power supply cables) causes no

problems. When installing in cable channels, however, make sure that the permitted strain

on the fiber-optic cables is not exceeded when pulling in other cables later.

WARNING

Adherence to the technical specifications

During installation and operation, all mechanical requirements for the cable such as

bending radii, tensile strain etc. must be kept to. If these limits are exceeded, permanent

deterioration of the transmission characteristics may result that can cause temporary or

permanent failure of data transmission.
