Product features

The Siemens 6GK5008-0BA10-1AB2 is a dependable unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch, also known as SCALANCE XB008, intended for small-scale industrial automation networks. The Siemens 6GK5008-0BA10-1AB2 has 8 RJ45 twisted-pair ports and offers transmission rates of 10 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s. It also has an auto-negotiation capability that automatically adjusts speeds. This industrial Ethernet switch is plug-and-play, requiring no sophisticated configuration, which saves time during installation and maintenance. It also offers Class of Service (CoS), which prioritizes vital data and ensures smooth communication between automation devices such as PLCs, HMIs, and I/O systems.

The Siemens 6GK5008-0BA10-1AB2 features a 24 V AC/DC wide-range power supply with a voltage range of 19.2 V to 28.8 V and a maximum power consumption of 2.88 W at 24 V DC. It includes a 0.6 A / 60 V fuse for power protection, and the electricity is connected using a 3-pole terminal block for safety. With a tiny box design, it measures 45 mm in width, 100 mm in height, and 87 mm in depth, weighing only 0.18 kg, allowing for flexible installation-either on a 35 mm standard DIN rail or on the wall, but not on S7-1500 rails.

The Siemens 6GK5008-0BA10-1AB2 is designed for industrial durability, with an IP20 rating that protects it against touch and solid objects larger than 12 mm. It functions consistently in temperatures ranging from -10°C to +60°C and can be stored or transported in settings ranging from -40°C to +80°C. It also has excellent electromagnetic interference resistance, meeting EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4 standards, ensuring dependable operation in loud industrial environments.

Precautions

To ensure safe and steady operation of the Siemens 6GK5008-0BA10-1AB2 (SCALANCE XB008) industrial Ethernet switch, take the following steps. First, put the Siemens 6GK5008-0BA10-1AB2 on a 35 mm standard DIN rail or a flat wall surface. Do not install it on a S7-1500 rail, as this may result in an unstable fixation and damage its operational condition. Keep the installation location clean and dry to prevent dust buildup on the 8 RJ45 ports, which could cause poor contact or data transmission issues.

The Siemens 6GK5008-0BA10-1AB2 requires a 24 V AC/DC wide-range power supply with a voltage of 19.2 V to 28.8 V. Never use a power supply that exceeds this range, since it will destroy the switch's internal components. To avoid short circuits, make the power connection through the 3-pole terminal block and verify that the wiring is strong. Note that the switch includes a 0.6 A / 60 V fuse for protection; if the fuse burns out, replace it with the same specification to avoid safety issues.

Consider the operational environment of the Siemens 6GK5008-0BA10-1AB2. It has a working temperature range of -10°C to +60°C, therefore do not place it near heaters or refrigerators. Moisture can degrade internal circuits, hence the relative humidity should not exceed 95% (without condensation) at 25 degrees Celsius. Because it has an IP20 protection certification, it is not waterproof or dustproof for small particles, thus avoid using it in damp or dusty industrial environments without extra protection.
