SCALANCE X-200IRT Product Line

To cover all automation requirements, SIMATIC NET with SCALANCE 200IRT offers the the first Industrial Ethernet real-time switch with innovated housing concept and integral ERTEC (Enhanced Real-Time Ethernet Controller). Response times can be achieved using standard components which correspond to the performance of current fieldbus systems. High-performance, isochronous Motion Control applications can be implemented with IRT. In addition to the proven industrial features of the SCALANCE X-200 product range, the SCALANCE X204IRT switch includes an integral redundancy manager.

"Cut through" and "Store and Forward" switching mechanisms through ERTEC
The SCALANCE X204IRT, with its 4 electrical ports, fulfills the real-time requirements of the field level for the setup of electrical Industrial Ethernet networks in linear, star or ring topologies.
The SCALANCE X202-2IRT switch can be used for configuring optical Industrial Ethernet linear, star or ring topologies with 2 optical and 2 electrical ports.
Real-time switches with standardized POF/PCF fiber-optic interface
With the SCALANCE X201-3P IRT, the SCALANCE X202-2P IRT, and the SCALANCE X200-4P IRT, the first Industrial Ethernet real-time switches with integrated ERTEC exist and the POF/PCF fiber-optic interface standardized with PROFINET. By using the "cut through" switching mechanism, these switches are ideal for meeting the real-time requirements of PROFINET.
With the different combinations of electrical RJ45 ports and optical SC RJ ports, these switches are ideal for setting up Industrial Ethernet star, linear, and ring topologies with reconfiguration times of < 300 ms (integrated redundancy manager). At the fiber-optic interface, the SIMATIC NET POF and PCF cables can be connected by means of the respective SC RJ Plugs.
For industrial applications, the IP30 devices feature a rugged metal housing that can be mounted onto S7 DIN rails or standard rails. Direct wall mounting is also possible. The devices feature a redundant power supply and an industry-standard, PROFINET-compliant user terminal. The RJ45 plugs are latched onto the housing and thus provide additional bending and strain relief for the connection.
Cabinet-free design
The new SCALANCE X204IRT PRO and X202-2P IRT PRO switches with degree of protection IP65 provide increased protection from dust, dirt and moisture and can therefore be used directly in the field without a control cabinet.
