Features:
- Twenty-four managed 10/100 Mbit/s RJ45 ports
- PROFINET, SNMP, web, and CLI management
- MRP, HRP, and PRP redundancy functions
Siemens 6GK5224-0BA00-2AA3 concentrates twenty-four copper Industrial Ethernet links in a compact managed switch.
Management services on 6GK5224-0BA00-2AA3 provide topology, port, error, and traffic information without replacing the data-switching function.
Redundant power, a fault-signaling contact, and optional C-PLUG storage keep the electrical and configuration paths separate from normal Ethernet forwarding.
The Siemens 6GK5224-0BA00-2AA3 SCALANCE X224 Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

How network and service connections are separated
- Copper access: Twenty-four RJ45 ports connect 10 or 100 Mbit/s terminal equipment and network components.
- Fault output: A two-pole signaling contact reports a configured device or port fault outside the Ethernet links.
- Power terminal: The four-pole terminal block accepts the operating supply and provides the redundant feed path.
- C-PLUG slot: An optional C-PLUG stores the switch configuration independently of the internal memory.
Configuration and visibility for the switch
- Web interface: Browser-based management exposes port, protocol, and diagnostic settings on 6GK5224-0BA00-2AA3.
- Command line: CLI access provides a text-based route for reading and changing managed functions.
- Topology data: DCP and LLDP identify the switch and its neighboring network devices.
- Monitoring: SNMP and error statistics make device and port conditions available to network management tools.
Alternate network paths after a link interruption
- MRP operation: 6GK5224-0BA00-2AA3 can join a Media Redundancy Protocol ring and act with the configured redundancy manager.
- HRP operation: High Speed Redundancy Protocol provides another supported ring-recovery method.
- PRP networks: Parallel Redundancy Protocol lets the switch participate in duplicated network paths without relying on a single ring.
- Passive listening: The switch can monitor redundancy frames without taking the active manager role.
From port events to external fault reporting
- Port status: LEDs and management pages show link, traffic, and port diagnostic conditions.
- PROFINET view: PROFINET IO diagnostics expose switch information to the configured automation station.
- Traffic statistics: Packet-size, packet-type, and error counters help separate traffic loading from physical link faults.
- Signaling contact: Selected fault events can operate the external contact for a cabinet-level alarm circuit.
