■
Overview
The SCALANCE X-300 product line comprises compact
Industrial Ethernet switches for constructing electrical and/or
optical line, star and ring topologies operating at data transfer
rates of 10/100/1 000 Mbit/s.
•
SCALANCE X-300 is available
- with integrated electrical and optical Ethernet ports
- as a partially modular version with four integrated electrical
Ethernet ports and two modular slots for 2-port media
modules
•
High-speed media redundancy through integral redundancy
manager both for Gigabit Ethernet (SCALANCE X-300, X-400)
and Fast Ethernet (e.g. in combination with SCALANCE X-200
switches)
•
Seamless integration of automation networks into existing
corporate networks thanks to support for a host of IT
standards: Establishment of virtual networks (VLANs)
•
Redundant integration into higher-level networks thanks to
support for standardized redundancy procedures (Rapid
Spanning Tree Protocol)
•
PROFINET diagnostics, SNMP access, integrated web server
and automatic e-mail transmission function for remote
diagnostics and signaling via the network
■
Benefits
•
High availability of the network thanks to:
- Redundant power supply
- Redundant network structures based on fiber-optic or
twisted pair cables
(redundancy manager, standby function, and RSTP are
integrated)
-
Easy device replacement by means of plug-in C-PLUG swap
medium
- Very fast reconfiguration of the network in the event of a fault
•
Lower susceptibility to failure and higher availability of the
plant networking due to latching of the RJ45 FastConnect
connectors in the sleeve of the RJ45 ports
•
Protection of investment due to integration into existing
network management systems by means of standardized
SNMP access
•
Time savings during engineering, commissioning and in the
operating phase of a plant by using the configuration and
diagnostics integrated in STEP 7
•
Simple adaptation to different network topologies, and
reduction in stock keeping costs through flexibility of the
partially modular versions
