Product Characteristics
4.2 SCALANCE X208
Note
The number of connected SCALANCE X Industrial Ethernet Switches influences the frame
propagation time.
When a frame passes through the devices of the SCALANCE X-100 and/or SCALANCE X-
200 product lines, it is delayed by the store and forward function of the switch:
- with a 64 byte frame length by approx. 10 µs (at 100 Mbps)
- with a 1500 byte frame length by approx. 130 µs (at 100 Mbps)
This means that the more devices of the SCALANCE X-100 and/or SCALANCE X-200
product lines that a frame passes through, the higher the frame propagation time will be.
