Instructions and Tips for Presentation / Labs
• Please copy the PDF of this presentation onto the digital desktop of each PG prior to the workshop. In this
way, attendees will be able to follow along during the lecture as well as reference during the labs.
• Please print out copies of slide 23 (IP addresses of stations) and slide 80 (Things to Try) for each attendee if it
makes sense – alternatively the attendees can rely on the digital version on the PG desktop.
• The lecture material has a gray background in the header. The labs have a tan background in the header. The
entire deck with labs is targeted at 4 – 5 hours.
• There are speaker notes for all the lecture slides. The labs are detailed step by step, so only a brief
introduction to each lab is required. There is no intention that the presenter must comment on each lab slide.
• Prior to each lecture and lab section, the agenda slide is inserted, and the forthcoming section is highlighted in
bold.
• The presentation is prepared and marked as “Unrestricted” so it can be shared with the attendees
• The last section (Network Monitoring) is optional, and the slides are hidden by default. .

Network Basics – MAC Addressing and the Ethernet frame
• Network Adapter can be a network card in the PC, Switch, Router, S7-Ethernet CP, S7-PN-CPU,…..
• Each Network Adapter has a globally unique address called the MAC address (Media Access Control).
• The MAC address is made up of 6 Bytes which are used to send and receive packets. The first three bytes
are the vendor ID (OUI) and the last three bytes are unique to the device. e.g. 08-00-06-6F-F1-59
• Siemens has nearly 50 OUIs. Common ones amongst networking and automation products are “08-00-06-
xx-xx-xx”, “00-1B-1B-xx-xx-xx”, and “20-87-56-xx-xx-xx”.
• Every Ethernet frame has a field for source and destination MAC address

Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000
• 32 Bit IPv4 address is defined in 4 decimal digits (0..255) which are separated with a dot, i.e. 141.73.4.238
• A subnet mask is defined for every IP address. The subnet mask is also like the IP address, a 32-bit value.
• A device can only communicate directly with another device on the same subnet.
• IP Network Classes include:

▪ Class A: 1.0 - 127.0 up to 16 Mio. hosts
▪ Class B: 128.0 - 191.255 up to 65.000 hosts
▪ Class C: 192.0 - 223.255.255 254 hosts
• Each Host within a network has a unique IP-Address

Network availability - Requirement
Reliable networks, capable of withstanding failures are achieved by:

▪ Reliable devices
▪ Fault-tolerant systems
▪ Redundancy Industrial Ethernet
The network should have a topology that allows fast Standby Master Standby Slave
convergence following a fault.
Requirements:
▪ Automatic reconfiguration following line failure
▪ Automatic reconfiguration following port deactivation
▪ Automatic reconfiguration following component failure
▪ Monitoring of redundancy mechanisms

Redundant rings – How it works
Starting with our XC200 series you have a Ring Redundancy Manager included.
▪ The Ring manager opens the ring in no failure cases

▪ Looking at the data transmission, the bus is now linear
▪ Cyclic test frames are used to check ring status
▪ As soon as there is a failure the ring manager connects through and informs Ring clients

Page 73 PD PA CI
Redundant rings
Siemens switches offer different protocols for using redundant rings:
❑ High Speed Redundancy Protocol (HRP):

▪ typical reconfiguration < 300ms with up to 100 ring nodes
▪ only devices that support the HRP function can be used in the ring
▪ devices that do not support HRP must be linked to the ring using
special devices with HRP capability
❑ Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP):

▪ typical reconfiguration < 200ms with up to 50 ring nodes
▪ conforms to the Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) specified in IEC
62439-2 Release 1.0 (2010-02)
▪ only devices that support the MRP function can be used in the ring
▪ MRP is part of the PROFINET standard
Page 74 PD PA CI
LAB 3: Pre-Lab Notes : (Configure High Speed Redundancy Protocol)
❖ Configure High Speed Ring Redundancy on your switch according to the pictures
on the next page.
❖ We will be using Ring Ports 7 and 8.
❖ When changing from the default ring ports (1 and 2) we will get a message after
changing ring port 1 that the ring ports are different types. This is normal since we
are moving from copper to fiber.
❖ Note: Ring Redundancy Mode can be selected on the Configuration Menu as well
(but not ring ports).

❖ Be sure to click Set Values after you have completed the settings.
❖ The settings will take effect in 1 minute, but you click on the link to take you directly to the Write Startup Config
page to bypass the delay.
❖ Do not connect switches together until the configuration is complete
Page 76 PD PA CI
LAB 3: Configure High Speed Redundancy Protocol
❖ After the configuration of the High-Speed Redundancy in your switch, please

connect the ring as shown below.
❖ In this 2-switch ring, we could also connect ports 7 together and ports 8
together, however for more than 2 switches, best practices (for debugging)
would be to connect 7 to 8, 7 to 8, 7 to 8, and so on back to the first switch.
❖ After a short time, the ring will be established.

LAB 3: Ring Redundancy – Things to Try
❖ Disconnect one of the fiber cables:

• What happens to the RM LED on the Ring Manager?
• What events are logged in the Event Log?
• How does the status change on the Ring Redundancy tab?
❖ Switch to the HRP Client and perform the same tasks:

• What events are logged in the Event Log?
• How does the RM LED behave?
• How does the status change on the Ring Redundancy tab?

Coupling redundant rings
How do we couple redundant rings without giving up the high performance in case of a failure or switch over?
No! redundancy
Standby
Page 82 PD PA CI
Standby connection functionality
The Standby-Connection allows to couple two High Speed Redundancy rings
▪ Available in X200IRT, XC200, XP200, X300, X400, XM400, X500, and XR500
switches
▪ Two switches are defined as standby master and standby slave
▪ In the best case scenario, the master connection is used and the slave blocked
Note:
Standby works only in High Speed
Redundancy Networks, no support for
MRP!

Advantage: Advantage:
Less costly solution, because only two switches in the central The switch-over of the standby-master will be performed from every
ring must support the standby-function, e.g.X200IRT, XC200, sub-ring individually
X300, XR500 → no conflicts
Disadvantage: Disadvantage:
The switch-over of the standby-master works for all standby- More expensive solution, because two switches in each of the sub-rings
connections, but not individually! must support the Standby-function, e.g.X200IRT, XC200, X300, XR500
→ causes conflicts

LAB 4: Configure a standby connection
▪ Before we can use the standby functionality, we have to configure the standby
master and standby slave.
▪ Please choose your partner-ring to connect using the standby functionality
▪ Define a name for the standby connection, i.e., standby-teamX ; X = team
number. The standby connection name must exactly match for the master
and slave.
Standby must only be configured in one ring; therefore, we will do this in two
steps. First only group1 configures standby, after evaluation, group1 will switch
off standby and group2 does the same.

Group1

LAB 4: Configuring Standby functionality
BEFORE making the physical connections, please configure standby on both

switches in the same ring using port 3 and a name according to the previous
slide.
REMEMBER: The names must match exactly! Complete for both
switches (.5, .10)
❖ We will not configure “Force device to Standby Master”,
therefore the switch with the higher MAC address
will become the Standby Master.
❖ Be sure to click Set Values after completing the
configuration changes.
❖ Take a look at the Log Table under the Information
menu after completing each switch to see the switch
behavior.

LAB 4: Configuring Standby functionality
❖ We can also tell who is the Standby Master or Standby

Slave as well as the status of the Redundancy by
looking in the Information tab under Ring Redundancy.
❖ Now connect one cable to the respective port 3 on one

of the switches in the partner ring. Can you ping the
other switches using the Ping feature under the System
menu?
❖ Now connect the second cable to the respective port 3

on the remaining switch in the partner ring. Can you
still ping the other switches? This should be possible
(with no loop) if it is configured correctly.

Passive Listening
Siemens developed Passive Listening to support redundant connections with fast

recovery between SCALANCE Industrial Ethernet Networks with IT-networks
supporting STP/RSTP without having to understand RSTP.
Example:
Higher availability due to redundant connection

of meshed IT networks with Industrial Ethernet
networks.
With expansion to achieve optimized
reconfiguration if changes are made or errors
occur.
Function: Passive listening
Page 91 PD PA CI
Passive Listening - Parametrization
The passive listening function is activated by default in the “Layer 2 Configuration" menu.
All ring nodes in a ring coupled to an (R)STP must have Passive Listening activated

Summary
▪ Industrial grade network products offer significant advantages and overcome pitfalls and hidden costs of
office grade products when applied in an industrial environment.
▪ The SCALANCE family of industrial grade network products offers a comprehensive portfolio to cover
requirements from unmanaged L2 switches to managed L2/L3, as well as wireless WiFi and Cellular,
security appliances, and cables and connectors.
▪ The built-in information and diagnostic features of the SCALANCE X family promote simple and efficient
troubleshooting.
▪ In important differentiation between industrial network applications and office network applications is the
requirement for reliable networks capable of withstanding failures. This is achieved by reliable devices,
fault-tolerant systems, and network redundancy.
▪ With the growing demand for networks to be vertically integrated, the features and functionality of an
industrial network should be capable of connecting to the office network without disruption to the time
sensitive industrial network.
