The SCALANCE X200 Industrial Ethernet switches are now available!

The SCALANCE X-200 line offers plant devices in the managed switch class.
They are positioned between the X100 unmanaged class and the higher level OSM/ESM and X-400 switch families in the Siemens Industrial Ethernet family.

FEATURES

The SCALANCE X200 managed switches are available in 3 versions with different combination of electrical and/or electrical ports:

• X208 – has 8 x RJ45 10/100 Mbit/s ports.
• X104-2 has 4 x RJ45 10/100 Mbit/s ports and 2 x glass fibre ST ports.
• X106-1 has 6 x RJ45 10/100 Mbit/s ports and 1 x glass fibre ST port.

Use in redundant ring topologies

The SCALANCE X-200 switches are an ideal solution for setting up electrical, optical or hybrid ring topologies where a high level of network availability is required. Redundancy switching time is less than 300 msec!

Unique strain relief concept

The SCALANCE X-200 series have new strain relief sleeves on electrical ports 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.

Network management and diagnostics

SCALANCE X-200 switches enable continual monitoring of network components by means of a signalling contact, web browser, PROFINET diagnostics or SNMP network management. With such mechanisms, problems can be quickly identified and corrected by both the network administrator and the programmable controller. Open circuits on electrical ports can be pin-pointed exactly using a web browser whereby the fault location is displayed right down to the metre thanks to copper line diagnostics.

Totally integrated automation

The network structure and diagnostics of Industrial Ethernet networks with SCALANCE X-200 switches is completely integrated into SIMATIC Step7. Online, important details which enable preventative maintenance of your network are provided.

Totally integrated automation

With SCALANCE X200, the configuration data can be automatically saved on an optional memory card (C-PLUG). In the event of a device failure, the C-PLUG only needs to be plugged into the replacement device and the X200 has the same configuration as the device that was removed.
