Decision aid for Industrial Ethernet switches

Different types of switches can be used for the Industrial Ether- net communication within the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system. In addition to the OSM/ESM switches, these are cur- rently the following switches:

SCALANCE X	Switches
range
X-400	SCALANCE X414-3E and X408-2
X-300	SCALANCE X308-2, X308-2LD and X310
X-200	SCALANCE X224, X216, X208, X212-2, X212-2LD,
	X204-2 and X206-1LD
X-200 IRT	SCALANCE X204 IRT, X202-2 IRT, X202-2P IRT,
	X201-3P IRT and X200-4P IRT

In order to support you when selecting, the following list shows important properties of the various switch ranges.

SCALANCE X-400

71-Gbit ports and 100-Mbit ports (optical/electrical, number and version depend on device)
