Full-Gigabit Port Map

  • Copper ports: Twelve RJ45 interfaces support 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet.
  • Combo positions: Four 1000 Mbps ports accept either an SFP or their paired RJ45 connection.
  • Media rule: Only one interface in each combo pair is used at a time.
  • Service access: A separate console port supports local commissioning.

Power and Signaling Paths

  • Rated input: The switch uses redundant 24 V DC supply connections.
  • Voltage range: The documented input window is 19.2 to 31.2 V DC.
  • Feed mapping: Label and test both supply circuits separately before commissioning.
  • Status reporting: Diagnostic LEDs and the signaling contact expose device and network conditions.

Redundancy and Integration

  • Loop control: RSTP and ring redundancy functions support resilient topologies.
  • Segmentation: VLAN functions separate configured traffic domains.
  • Automation role: The switch operates as a PROFINET IO device and is EtherNet/IP compliant.
  • Time service: IEEE 1588v2 PTP supports precision network synchronization.

Mounting and Operating Limits

  • Mounting choices: Install on a DIN rail, S7-300 rail, or prepared wall surface.
  • Temperature range: The documented operating range is -40 to +70 °C.
  • Enclosure boundary: The IP20 device requires a suitable industrial cabinet.
  • Configuration media: C-PLUG support allows the documented configuration to follow approved replacement hardware.
Description
Twelve 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports and four media-selectable combo positions form the access layer of Siemens 6GK5216-4GS00-2AC2, the SCALANCE XC216-4C G managed Layer 2 Industrial Ethernet switch.

Two 24 V DC supply inputs on 6GK5216-4GS00-2AC2 implement redundant power paths, while the signaling contact exposes device or network conditions to an external alarm circuit.

Traffic control on 6GK5216-4GS00-2AC2 combines RSTP and ring redundancy with VLAN segmentation, PROFINET IO device operation, EtherNet/IP compliance, and IEEE 1588v2 time synchronization.

Configuration continuity for 6GK5216-4GS00-2AC2 is supported by C-PLUG media, and its console interface and diagnostic LEDs provide separate paths for local setup and status analysis.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
How is copper or fiber selected on a combo port of 6GK5216-4GS00-2AC2?
Each combo position on 6GK5216-4GS00-2AC2 uses either its paired RJ45 interface or an installed SFP, not both simultaneously.
Why should both power feeds be tested on 6GK5216-4GS00-2AC2?
The redundant 24 V DC inputs of 6GK5216-4GS00-2AC2 are separate supply paths; testing each feed confirms redundancy and correct alarm behavior.
Which configuration item can simplify replacement of 6GK5216-4GS00-2AC2?
A documented C-PLUG can retain the approved configuration for 6GK5216-4GS00-2AC2, but the replacement switch and saved settings still require verification.
What should be recorded before changing ring connections on 6GK5216-4GS00-2AC2?
For 6GK5216-4GS00-2AC2, record the ring ports, redundancy protocol, manager role, VLANs, connected devices, and current fault state.
Does 6GK5216-4GS00-2AC2 support PROFINET and EtherNet/IP integration?
Yes. Siemens specifies 6GK5216-4GS00-2AC2 as a PROFINET IO device and EtherNet/IP-compliant managed switch.
Where may 6GK5216-4GS00-2AC2 be installed for its -40 to +70 °C range?
The IP20 6GK5216-4GS00-2AC2 must remain in a suitable enclosure even though its documented operating range is -40 to +70 °C.
