More Information

Overview Manuals Port Roles Network Recovery Device Setup Traffic Control

Features:

  • Twenty fixed RJ45 ports and four combo positions organize copper and SFP connections within one 24-port switch.
  • EtherNet/IP is the default profile, while PROFINET IO device operation remains available for automation integration.
  • Redundant 24 V DC input and a signaling contact separate power continuity from alarm reporting.
Traffic enters Siemens 6GK5224-4GS00-2TC2 through fixed copper or medium-selectable combo positions before the store-and-forward engine directs frames to the required egress path.

Management access is separated from production traffic through the console connection, browser interface, command-line tools, and supported engineering access.

The removable C-PLUG provides a dedicated location for device configuration, while LEDs and the signaling contact expose local status for commissioning checks.

The Siemens 6GK5224-4GS00-2TC2 SCALANCE XC224-4C G Managed Switch may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Siemens 6GK5224-4GS00-2TC2 SCALANCE XC224-4C G Managed Switch Manuals,Datasheets,Link Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.

How Each Connection Serves the Switch

  • Fixed Copper Links: Twenty RJ45 positions connect permanent 10/100/1000 Mbit/s copper segments.
  • Combo Selection: Each of four combo positions accepts either its RJ45 path or a 1000 Mbit/s SFP path, not both at once.
  • Service Access: The RJ11 console connection provides a local management route independent of an Ethernet browser session.
  • Alarm Output: The two-pole signaling contact carries device status to an external monitoring circuit.

Path Recovery and Ring Behavior

  • MRP Rings: Media Redundancy Protocol coordinates recovery within a PROFINET ring.
  • Ring Coupling: MRP Interconnection links supported ring structures without collapsing them into one loop.
  • Tree Control: STP, RSTP, RSTP+, and MSTP manage loop-free forwarding where spanning-tree operation is selected.
  • Parallel Paths: PRP and link aggregation provide documented options for duplicated or bundled Ethernet paths.

Configuration Paths and Stored Parameters

  • Initial Profile: The 2TC2 ordering variant starts with EtherNet/IP as its default device behavior.
  • Browser Session: Web Based Management exposes switch parameters through HTTP or HTTPS.
  • Engineering Access: CLI and STEP 7 provide additional documented routes for commissioning and diagnostics.
  • Transferable Record: A supported C-PLUG stores the device configuration separately from the switch hardware.

How Forwarding Is Segmented and Timed

  • VLAN Separation: Port-based VLANs divide connected stations into controlled Layer 2 broadcast domains.
  • Multicast Handling: IGMP and GMRP manage group traffic so multicast forwarding follows registered receivers.
  • Link Bundling: LACP combines supported physical links into one negotiated logical connection.
  • Clock Alignment: NTP, SNTP, and IEEE 1588v2 PTP align switch time with the chosen network clock source.
Description
Siemens 6GK5224-4GS00-2TC2 is the SCALANCE XC224-4C G managed Layer 2 Industrial Ethernet switch in the SCALANCE XC-200 family. It forwards traffic among copper and optical network segments while providing management, redundancy, and time-synchronization services at the switch level.

Across the front connections, 6GK5224-4GS00-2TC2 assigns twenty positions to fixed RJ45 copper links and four positions to combo interfaces. Each combo position is used either as an RJ45 connection or through an SFP, so selecting the optical medium changes the physical path without creating an additional logical port.

Configuration of 6GK5224-4GS00-2TC2 starts from an EtherNet/IP default profile, while PROFINET IO device functions remain available for Siemens automation networks. Web-based management, the command-line interface, STEP 7 access, and the C-PLUG slot provide separate paths for parameter entry, service access, and transferable configuration storage.

Within a redundant topology, 6GK5224-4GS00-2TC2 coordinates ring and path behavior through MRP, MRP Interconnection, spanning-tree methods, PRP, and link aggregation. NTP, SNTP, and IEEE 1588v2 PTP keep switch time aligned with the selected network timing architecture.

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.
Does each combo socket add an extra port to Siemens 6GK5224-4GS00-2TC2?
No. Siemens 6GK5224-4GS00-2TC2 has four combo positions, and each position uses either its RJ45 connection or its SFP connection at one time.
Which device profile is loaded by default on 6GK5224-4GS00-2TC2?
EtherNet/IP is the default profile for 6GK5224-4GS00-2TC2; PROFINET IO device functions are also documented for the switch.
What should be preserved when moving a C-PLUG from Siemens 6GK5224-4GS00-2TC2?
The C-PLUG carries the stored device configuration for Siemens 6GK5224-4GS00-2TC2, so its assignment should remain tied to the intended switch settings.
Can 6GK5224-4GS00-2TC2 be fastened directly to a wall?
The detailed fastening table for 6GK5224-4GS00-2TC2 specifies DIN-rail, S7-300 rail, and S7-1500 rail mounting, while wall mounting is marked No.
How are local setup and production traffic kept separate on Siemens 6GK5224-4GS00-2TC2?
Siemens 6GK5224-4GS00-2TC2 provides an RJ11 console path for local setup in addition to managed access over its Ethernet interfaces.
When selecting ring recovery for 6GK5224-4GS00-2TC2, which protocol families are documented?
Depending on the topology, 6GK5224-4GS00-2TC2 documents MRP, MRP Interconnection, HRP, spanning-tree variants, and PRP rather than one universal recovery mode.
