A 5 Ethernet interfaces
The RFC 4072S has four Ethernet interface. Interfaces LAN1 and LAN 2 are also designed
for Gigabit Ethernet. Interfaces LAN3.1 and LAN3.2 are switched device-internally and do
not support Gigabit Ethernet.
• Connect the lower-level PROFIsafe system to the LAN1 or LAN2 RJ45 socket depend-
ing on the configuration.
• Connect the higher-level PROFINET network to the LAN1, LAN2 or LAN3 RJ45 socket
depending on the configuration.
The following figure shows the contact assignment of an Ethernet interface (RJ45 socket).
Figure A-3 Contact assignment of an Ethernet interface in RJ45 format
Use Ethernet cables according to CAT5 of IEEE 802.3 for operation with up to 100 Mbps.
Please note that for operation with 1000 Mbps (Gigabit), cables with four wire pairs
(twisted pairs, eight wires in total), which at least meet the requirements of CAT5e, must
be used.
When working on PROFINET/PROFIsafe and its components, the following documents
must always be available and observed at all times.
– PROFINET Installation Guideline for Cabling and Assembly
– PROFIsafe System Description
– PROFIBUS Guideline, PROFIsafe Policy
– PROFIsafe – Environmental Requirements Guideline
These documents are available on the Internet at www.profinet.com or you can contact
your local Phoenix Contact representative regarding these documents (see also Section
“Documentation” on page 232 ).
Please also observe the relevant information on PROFINET and PROFIsafe, which is
available on the Internet at www.profisafe.net .
