The SCALANCE X108 Industrial Ethernet switch is now available!

SCALANCE is a new Industrial Ethernet networking components family from SIMATIC NET. The family is divided into sub-families, SCALANCE X – switches, SCALANCE W- wireless and SCALANCE S – security.

SCALANCE X

The SCALANCE X line is comprised of 3 performance classes.

• X-100 in the plant floor unmanaged switch class
• X-200 in the plant floor managed switch class
• X-400 in the industrial enterprise class.

In a class of its own

The SCALANCE X108 Industrial Ethernet Switch has eight RJ45 10/100 Mbit/s ports and is optimally suited for deploying electrical star and line topologies.

Easy installation

The SCALANCE X-108 has a new Innovative and space-saving housing concept. It fits ideally into all Industrial automation solutions and can be mounted onto 35 mm DIN rail, S7-300 rail and direct wall mounting.

Unique strain relief concept

The SCALANCE X-108 has new strain relief sleeves which when used with PROFINET compliant Industrial Ethernet connectors eg. FastConnect RJ45 Plug 180, provides improved tensile and bending force resistance (from the connected data cables) in comparison with standard RJ45 connectors.  

Availability and diagnostics

SCALANCE X-100 switches have redundant voltage supply (DC) connections. Fault conditions can be signalled to the controller (e.g. PLC) via a signal contact (S). LEDs permit fast on-site diagnostics of power supply, port status and data communication.

Time and cost savings with FASTCONNECT

The FastConnect (FC) quick-installation system for Industrial Ethernet assists the configuration of industry-compatible network structures within the shortest possible time. FastConnect is very easy to use and the connector on the respective SCALANCE X-100 product ensures rugged and reliable data communication.
