The NEW SCALANCE X005 Industrial Ethernet switch is now available!
OVERVIEW
SCALANCE X-005
Following the introduction of the SCALANCE X-100, X-200 and X-400 product families of SIMATIC NET, the range of SCALANCE X switches will be further rounded off. With the introduction of the SCALANCE X005 we can now provide a switch for the Industrial Ethernet entry level. SCALANCE X005 has five RJ45 10/100 MBit/s ports and is ideally suited for the design of small autonomous Industrial Ethernet islands in star and line structures.
FEATURES
IN A CLASS OF ITS OWN The SCALANCE X005 Industrial Ethernet entry level switch is an unmanaged switch with five RJ45 10/100 MBit/s ports. The product is a cost-optimized solution for the design of small star or line structures with switching functionality in isolated machines or plant sections. The SCALANCE X005 has a robust metal housing (IP30) for space-saving mounting in a cubicle, on a standard mounting rail, S7-300 mounting rail or for direct wall mounting. The holding flanges on the RJ45 ports integrated on the front of the housing, together with the Industrial Ethernet FastConnect IE FC RJ45 Plug, ensure permanent and reliable data communication. The combination of holding flange and IE FC RJ 45 Plug unloads the RJ45 socket of the switch from tensile and bending stress. For more information on IE FastConnect connections please see under Fast Connect. Â The SCALANCE X005 Industrial Ethernet entry level switch has a 24V DC voltage supply.
UNIQUE STRAIN RELIEF CONCEPT
The SCALANCE X-005 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.
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-005 product ensures rugged and reliable data communication.
