More Information

Overview Manuals Feature Activation Stored Configuration Replacement Match Handling Limits

Features:

  • The KEY-PLUG activates the documented Layer 3 function set in SCALANCE XM-400.
  • Configuration data stays on the removable medium for matched device exchange.
  • The 256 MiB storage belongs to the KEY-PLUG rather than the switch base memory.
Routing settings are created in the switch and retained through the inserted medium.

A replacement host must accept the same KEY-PLUG function and stored configuration.

The IP20 plug remains inside the protected installation of the network device.

The Siemens 6GK5904-0PA00 KEY-PLUG XM-400 Layer 3 Data Medium may remain available for quotation and support beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Siemens 6GK5904-0PA00 KEY-PLUG XM-400 Layer 3 Data Medium 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.

Linking the inserted medium to Layer 3 operation

  • KEY-PLUG identity: The switch detects the XM-400 Layer 3 medium.
  • Routing feature: The documented software functions become available in the host.
  • Host scope: Activation applies to the compatible SCALANCE XM-400 device.
  • Configuration step: Routing interfaces and addresses are defined through the switch management system.

Keeping switch settings on the removable medium

  • Storage area: The 256 MiB medium retains the assigned configuration data.
  • Write relationship: Changes made in the host are stored according to the switch procedure.
  • Exchange transfer: The removed KEY-PLUG carries its data to matching replacement hardware.
  • Record check: The stored setup is compared with the intended network before service return.

Preventing a stored setup from entering the wrong host

  • Part number: The replacement uses the correct XM-400 Layer 3 KEY-PLUG.
  • Host family: The receiving switch belongs to the documented SCALANCE XM-400 range.
  • Network identity: Addresses, VLANs, routes, and management settings match the target station.
  • Startup result: The host status confirms acceptance of the medium and its configuration.

Protecting the data medium during storage and service

  • IP20 boundary: The plug stays inside a protected industrial enclosure.
  • Temperature range: Operation and storage remain within their separate documented limits.
  • Humidity: The environment avoids condensation on contacts and electronics.
  • Service procedure: Insertion and removal follow the host instructions to preserve data integrity.
Description
Siemens 6GK5904-0PA00 is the KEY-PLUG XM-400 removable data medium that activates Layer 3 routing functions in a SCALANCE XM-400 switch and stores the associated device configuration. The plug therefore connects feature authorization and configuration retention to the same physical medium.

When inserted in the intended host, 6GK5904-0PA00 makes its 256 MiB storage available for the configuration data used by the switch. Moving the KEY-PLUG to matching replacement hardware carries those stored parameters with it instead of requiring them to remain only in the failed device.

Layer 3 operation tied to 6GK5904-0PA00 belongs to the SCALANCE XM-400 software function set rather than to a separate network port on the plug. Routing interfaces, VLANs, addresses, and related settings are configured in the switch and retained on the inserted medium.

The IP20 construction of 6GK5904-0PA00 places it inside the protected switch installation. Its operating and storage limits apply to the data medium itself, while removal or insertion follows the host device procedure so configuration data is not interrupted or mismatched.

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.
Why does a SCALANCE switch reject Siemens 6GK5904-0PA00?
Check the Siemens 6GK5904-0PA00 part number, host XM-400 compatibility, insertion, contact condition, device firmware, diagnostic log, and any stored-configuration conflict.
What data should be backed up before moving 6GK5904-0PA00?
Export the 6GK5904-0PA00 host configuration and record switch model, firmware, addresses, VLANs, routes, security settings, and the current KEY-PLUG status.
Does Siemens 6GK5904-0PA00 add a physical network port?
No. Siemens 6GK5904-0PA00 activates Layer 3 functions and stores configuration data; the SCALANCE XM-400 hardware supplies the network interfaces.
How is 6GK5904-0PA00 used during device exchange?
Move 6GK5904-0PA00 to the compatible replacement XM-400 according to the host procedure, then verify recognition, restored configuration, routing state, and network reachability.
Can an ordinary C-PLUG replace Siemens 6GK5904-0PA00?
No. Siemens 6GK5904-0PA00 is specifically a KEY-PLUG with Layer 3 activation; the datasheet identifies C-PLUG function as unavailable for this part.
