2.1 Introduction
This chapter provides you with an overview of the functions of the Industrial Ethernet
switches of the SCALANCE X-100 and X-200 product lines.
The devices of the SCALANCE X-100 are unmanaged Industrial Ethernet switches with up
to eight ports and on-site diagnostics for applications in the vicinity of the machinery.
The devices of the SCALANCE X-200 are managed Industrial Ethernet switches that can be
used universally for applications ranging from those in the vicinity of the machinery to
networked units. Configuration engineering and remote diagnostics are integrated in the
SIMATIC STEP 7 engineering tool increasing the plant availability. Devices with a high
degree of protection allow installation without a cabinet.
What Is Possible?
The devices of the SCALANCE X-100 or SCALANCE X-200 product lines, allow the cost-
effective installation of Industrial Ethernet bus, star, or ring structures with switching
functionality.
Note
When using devices of the SCALANCE X-100 product line in a redundant ring, the
redundancy function is not supported.
Note
The requirements of EN61000-4-5, surge test on power supply lines are met only when a
Blitzductor VT AD 24V type no. 918 402 is used
