The Siemens 6GK5328-4TS01-2EC2 is the SCALANCE XCH328 with managed layer 2 switch, 24 RJ45 ports of 10/100/1000 Mbit/s and 4 SFP+ ports of 1/10 Gbit/s. The switch has LED diagnostics, an error-signaling contact with select/set pushbutton, network management, redundancy functions and office features (RSTP, VLAN, IGMP), is a PROFINET IO device, has conformal coating and is mounted on a DIN rail or S7 rail. The Siemens SCALANCE X range comprises switches and media converters that connect controllers, operator panels, drives and PCs in Industrial Ethernet and PROFINET networks, built for use in the control cabinet. Siemens lists this type as an active product. When replacing, switch the supply off, mount the switch in the same place, move a C-PLUG in use with the configuration from the old switch, plug the network cables into the same ports and after switching on check the link LEDs and the signaling contact.

Faults and fixes 6GK5328-4TS01-2EC2
Problems with 6GK5328-4TS01-2EC2: the red F LED is on
The F (fault) LED of a SCALANCE switch also comes on when one of the two redundant power inputs L1/L2 is not connected; that is the most common message and not a defect. Also: a port configured as monitored without link, a ring fault or a rejected C-PLUG. The cause is shown in the web interface under Fault.
What do I check when replacing a 6GK5328-4TS01-2EC2?
Carry over the C-PLUG with the configuration, then the replacement starts with the same settings. Without C-PLUG set the IP address, VLANs and ring settings again via the web interface or PST. Check that the firmware version matches the ring or redundancy partners.
Fault not fixed: replace, exchange or repair the 6GK5328-4TS01-2EC2?
Replacing from stock is the fastest route when a machine is down. Van Haelen supplies the 6GK5328-4TS01-2EC2 refurbished (tested, with a test report per serial number) or new in factory packaging, with a 24-month warranty. The current lead time is shown with the condition on this page. Prefer an exchange: you get a refurbished unit straight away and return the faulty one within 14 days. Repairing your own unit is also possible: diagnosis, then a fixed price.
What information should I send for a quick diagnosis?
A photo of the rating plate (order number, product version, firmware), the exact fault code or LED state, when the fault occurs (at power-up, on enable, under load) and what you have already tried. For PLCs an export of the diagnostic buffer, for drives the parameter set. With that we can usually say the same day whether replacing, exchanging or repairing is best.
