SCALANCE X Industrial Ethernet switches

■Overview

9

Switches are active network components that specifically dis- tribute data to the relevant addressees. SCALANCE X is the modern range of Industrial Ethernet switches from SIMATIC NET. The SCALANCE X family comprises product lines that comple- ment each other and are carefully tuned to the specific automa- tion task.

SCALANCE X-300

SCALANCE X-300 switches can be used to implement Industrial Ethernet structures with a line, star or ring topology (non-redun- dant and redundant rings) with transmission rates up to

1000 Mbit/s.

•SCALANCE X310 with 3 electrical Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports and 7 electrical FastEthernet RJ45 ports

•SCALANCE X308-2 with 2 optical Gigabit Ethernet SC ports for glass multimode FO cables, 1 electrical Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port and 7 electrical FastEthernet RJ45 ports

•SCALANCE X308-2LD with 2 optical Gigabit Ethernet SC ports for glass multimode FO cables, 1 electrical Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port and 7 electrical FastEthernet RJ45 ports

SCALANCE X-200 IRT

SCALANCE X-200 IRT switches are used for Industrial Ethernet structures with a line, star or ring topology (non-redundant and redundant rings) with transmission rates up to 100 Mbit/s.

•SCALANCE X204 IRT with 4 electrical RJ45 ports

•SCALANCE X202-2 IRT with 2 electrical RJ45 ports and 2 optical BFOC ports for glass multimode FO cables

•SCALANCE X202-2P IRT with 2 electrical RJ45 ports and 2 POF (polymer optical fiber) ports

•SCALANCE X201-3P IRT with 1 electrical RJ45 port and 3 POF ports

•SCALANCE X200-4P IRT with 4 POF ports

SCALANCE X-200

SCALANCE X-200 switches are suitable for Industrial Ethernet structures with a line, star or ring topology with transmission rates up to 100 Mbit/s (non-redundant and redundant rings). However, they do not have a standby redundancy functionality (see table with product characteristics).

•SCALANCE X208 with 8 electrical RJ45 ports

•SCALANCE X204-2 with 2 optical glass FO ports and 4 electrical RJ45 ports

•SCALANCE X224 with 24 electrical RJ45 ports

•SCALANCE X216 with 16 electrical RJ45 ports

•SCALANCE X208 with 8 electrical RJ45 ports

■Application

The products referred to below from the SCALANCE X-400, X-300, X-200 IRT and X-200 ranges are suitable for use in SIMATIC PCS 7 systems.

SCALANCE X-400

SCALANCE X-400 switches are suitable for designing a plant bus and OS-LAN (terminal bus) with an electrical or optical Gigabit ring technology (non-redundant and redundant rings).

•SCALANCE X414-3E with 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports (electri- cal/optical), 12 electrical FastEthernet ports and optionally

4 optical FastEthernet ports (BFOC); can be expanded by ex- tender module with 8 electrical or 8 optical FastEthernet ports (BFOC)

•SCALANCE X408-2 with 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports (electrical/ optical) and 4 FastEthernet ports (electrical/optical)

Both versions permit a maximum communications performance, in particular with very large plants with comprehensive quantity frameworks and expansive communication networks.

•SCALANCE X204-2 with 4 electrical RJ45 ports and 2 optical BFOC ports for glass multimode FO cables

•SCALANCE X212-2 with 12 electrical RJ45 ports and 2 optical BFOC ports for glass multimode FO cables

•SCALANCE X212-2LD with 12 electrical RJ45 ports and 2 optical BFOC ports for glass singlemode FO cables

•SCALANCE X206-1LD with 6 electrical RJ45 ports and 1 optical BFOC port for glass singlemode FO cables
