Orientation in the documentation
Apart from the System Manual you are currently reading, the following documentation is also
available from SIMATIC NET on the topic of Network Manual:
●
System manual "Industrial Ethernet"
This System manual provides you with an overview of the structure and configuration of
Industrial Ethernet networks with the aid of SIMATIC NET. On the one hand, the target
groups are decision makers and planners; with this document, they can gain an overview
of the technical principles, the SIMATIC NET product range and the most important
practical applications. On the other hand, it provides configuration engineers and
commissioning personnel with extensive information data to which they can refer when
setting up their network systems.
●
Compact operating instructions
These contain wide-ranging descriptions of the components of the product, installation
and setting up of SIMATIC NET devices and the relevant dimension drawings.
●
System manual "RCoax"
This system manual contains both an explanation of the fundamental technical aspects
as well as a description of the individual RCoax components and their functionality.
Installation/commissioning and connection of RCoax components and their operating
principle are explained. The possible applications of the various SIMATIC NET
components are described.
●
System manual - "Passive Network Components IWLAN"
This system manual explains the entire IWLAN cabling that you require for your IWLAN
application. For a flexible combination and installation of the individual IWLAN
components both indoors and outdoors, a wide ranging selection of compatible coaxial
accessories are available. The system manual also covers connecting cables as well as a
variety of plug-in connectors, lightning protectors, a power splitter and an attenuator.
Operating Instructions and other documents
Despite every effort being made to provide a complete and thorough picture, this System
