Compact Switch Modules (CSMs)
Unmanaged switches for use directly on the SIMATIC for
interface expansion and integration of machines into existing
plant networks
SCALANCE X-000/XB-000 unmanaged
Unmanaged switches with electrical and/or optical ports for
designing small networks for machine or plant islands with
10/100/1000 Mbit/s
SCALANCE X-100 unmanaged
Switches with electrical and/or optical ports, redundant power
supply, and signaling contact for use in machine-level
applications (also available as media converter with two ports
for conversion between two different media).
SCALANCE X-200 managed
For universal use, from machine-level applications to networked
subsystems. Configuration and remote diagnosis are integrated
into the STEP 7 engineering tool. This increases the level of plant
availability. Devices with a high degree of protection facilitate
cabinet-free construction.
Corresponding switches (SCALANCE X-200IRT) are also
available for use in subsystem networks with hard real-time
requirements and maximum availability.
SCALANCE XF-200 managed
SCALANCE XF-200 Industrial Ethernet switches have the same
functions as SCALANCE X-200 switches. The flat design in
ET 200S format (IP20 protection) mean they are optimally suit-
able for space-saving use in small control boxes.
SCALANCE X-300 managed
Networking of subsystem/plant areas, as well as linking to the
enterprise network. The SCALANCE X-300 managed product
line combines the firmware functionality of the SCALANCE X-400
line with the compact design of the SCALANCE X-200 line.
This means the SCALANCE X-300 switches have extended
management functions and an extended firmware functionality
compared to the SCALANCE X-200 switches.
Electrical and optical Gigabit Ethernet ports are also available.
SCALANCE XR-300 managed
The SCALANCE XR-300 Industrial Ethernet switches corre-
spond functionally to the SCALANCE X-300 switches. Designed
as rack switches, they are particularly suitable for use in 19" con-
trol cabinets. They are also fully modular, and due to their 2-port
media modules (electrical and optical) they can be adapted to
the respective task.
For use in power plants and under difficult environmental
conditions, ECC (Enhanced Environmental Conditions) versions
may be used in compact and rack designs.
SCALANCE X-400 managed (Layer 3)
For flexibly networking and structuring high-performance plant
networks. Thanks to the modular design, the switches can be
adapted to the respective task. Near Field Communication
(NFC) in connection with existing WLAN also enables rapid
access to web-based management via a smartphone or tablet
connected to an available wireless network.
Optional routing functions on Layer 3 permit communication
between different IP subnets.
SCALANCE X-500 managed (Layer 3)
For networking and structuring high-performance industrial
networks and for connecting office networks to automation
networks. As a Layer 3 switch, SCALANCE X-500 is extremely
well suited to use as a central component in backbone networks,
e.g. when a high number of ports is required, at extremely high
transmission rates (10 Gigabit Ethernet), or for redundant con-
nection to an office infrastructure. The rack switch (19" design)
can be used flexibly to suit requirements thanks to its modular
design and the plug-in 4-port media modules (electrical and
optical).
Routing functions on Layer 3 permit communication between
different IP subnets.
Communications processors for SIMATIC
with integral switch
Managed switches for adding Industrial Ethernet/PROFINET
interfaces to the SIMATIC and for integrating the controllers into
existing line or ring topologies.
Thanks to integral Layer 3 functionality, the Advanced-CPs can
also be used as routers between IP subnets.
Communications processors for PC with integral switch
Managed switches for adding Industrial Ethernet/PROFINET
interfaces to industrial PCs and for integrating PCs into existing
line topologies.
