Increased availability
The switches of the SCALANCE X-100 product line have a redundant power supply (DC). Fault conditions can be reported to a controller (e.g. SIMATIC PLC) via a signal contact (S). LED displays permit quick on-site diagnostics of the power supply, port status and data traffic.
Do you want an industry-standard, reliable network solution for both shopfloor applications and networked plant sections that is suitable for use in a rough industrial environment? If you do, we would recommend universal SCALANCE X-200 managed switches. SCALANCE X-200 switches are available in versions with electrical and/or optical ports.

The structure and operation of networks with SCALANCE X-200 is particularly easy thanks to the network configuration and diagnostics integrated in SIMATIC STEP 7. Totally Integrated Automation. And online you receive important details which enable preventive maintenance of your network.
Service with minimized downtimes
The configuration data is automatically saved on a Configuration Plug (C-PLUG). If a device needs to be replaced, the C-PLUG is simply inserted in the replacement device. Without requiring reconfiguration, the replacement component starts up with the same device configuration.

Extended functionality through managed plus
The SCALANCE X-300 managed plus product line combines the firmware functionality of the SCALANCE X-400 line (without routing functions on layer 3) with the compact design of the SCALANCE X-200 line. "managed plus" means both enhanced management functions compared with the SCALANCE X-200 and enhanced firmware functionality
Integrated redundany manager for fast media redundancy
SCALANCE X-300 switches are used for the configuration of high-performance Gigabit Ethernet rings (Twisted Pair or Fiber Optic). A ring link via Gigabit Ethernet or the connection of Gigabit Ethernet terminals is also possible. The integrated redundancy manager (RM) continuously monitors the network function. Alternatively rings can be established with Fast Ethernet or the switches can be integrated in existing Fast Ethernet rings.
Integration in company networks
SCALANCE X-300 switches support the standardized redundancy procedure Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP). Thus an automation network can be integrated redundantly into a company network. Since SCALANCE X-300 switches support "virtual" networks, this permits the integration in "Security Policies" or the networks can be divided into segments.
PROFINET IO functionality
As a PROFINET-IO device the SCALANCE X-300 can simply be integrated in the configuration and system diagnostics of STEP7. The integrated configuration and diagnostics integrated into SIMATIC STEP 7 provide significant benefits during the engineering, start-up and operating phases of a plant
Point-to-point connection over a distance of up to 100 m with FastConnect
The integrated retaining collars on the Fast Ethernet RJ45 ports ensure, together with the PROFINET-compatible IE FC RJ45 connectors, continuous and reliable data communication. Through the interaction between the retaining collar and the RJ45 plug, the RJ45 socket of the switch is relieved of tensile or bending stresses.
Service with minimized downtimes
The configuration data is automatically saved on a Configuration Plug (C-PLUG). If a device needs to be replaced, the C-PLUG is simply inserted in the replacement device. Without requiring reconfiguration, the replacement component starts up with the same device configuration.
SIMATIC NET Industrial Ethernet Switches SCALANCE X-300 Configuration Manual
SCALANCE X-400 offers everything you expect from switches to permit their use in high-performance industrial networks which already today need to be ready for the high demands of the future. This includes, for example, Gigabit data rates and a high number of ports. The modular structure means that the switches can be precisely adapted to the specific task. Support of IT standards makes the smooth integration of automation networks in existing Office networks possible.
See Pages 152-162 of the following section of the IK PI Catalog for the ordering data of the X-400 Switches
Modular system for the future
The SCALANCE X-400 consists of the Industrial Ethernet switches SCALANCE X414-3E or X408-2, media modules supplementing the switch with optical ports, and extenders for increasing the number of ports. 10/100/1000 Mbit for Twisted Pair and fiber-optic conductors are supported. Hot swapping of the fiber-optic modules and extenders is possible. Already the comprehensive basic configuration includes up to 4 Gigabit Ethernet Twisted Pair ports for connecting the SCALANCE X-400 switches and up to 12 integrated Fast Ethernet Twisted Pair ports.
Layer 3 switching functionality (IP routing) of SCALANCE X414-3E
With the integrated Layer 3 switching functionality (routing), it is possible to divide large Ethernet networks into smaller Ethernet networks with their own IP address space (subnet) or to connect subnets to each other. Some reasons for dividing a network into subnets:
• Separating the Ethernet network to reduce the volume of traffic
• Separating sensitive sections from the main network
• Separating the network into logical work groups
• Separating networks by departments and divisions
Redundant Layer 3 switching (routing) is achieved with the integrated VRRP function (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol). The integrated dynamic routing protocol OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and RIP (Routing Information Protocol) regulate the communication between the SCALANCE X414-3Es that are configured as Layer 3 switches (routers) or other routers.
Redundant coupling of Gigabit rings with SCALANCE X408-2
The SCALANCE X408-2 permits redundant coupling of Gigabit rings over Gigabit paths. The integrated redundancy manager (RM) continuously monitors the network function. Within a maximum of 300 ms, it switches to a substitute path. Rings consisting of SCALANCE X-400 switches can be operated at Gigabit rates, rings comprising X-400 and X-200 with 100 Mbit/s.
Load limits for broadcasts and multicasts
When multicast-based protocols are used, e.g. for video transmission, SCALANCE X-400 switches learn by means of IGMP Snooping which station wants to receive the multicast message frames and when. The multicast message frames are only forwarded to the corresponding ports. Load thresholds also limit multicasts and broadcasts.
Point-to-point connection over a distance of up to 100 m with FastConnect
Covers protect the Fast Ethernet Twisted Pair ports of SCALANCE X-400. They also permit labeling of the ports. When the covers are removed, the ports can be easily accessed from the front. In combination with the PROFINET-compliant connector IE FC RJ45 Plug 180, up to 100 m long direct connections can be set up; distributors and wall sockets are not required. The retaining collar on the device together with the cover ensures a flush fit, and the locking mechanism with the IE FC RJ-45 Plug 180 provides a rugged, industry-standard connection of stations that provides strain and bending relief for the RJ45 socket.
Service with minimized downtimes
The configuration data is automatically saved on a Configuration Plug (C-PLUG). If a device needs to be replaced, the C-PLUG is simply inserted in the replacement device. Without requiring reconfiguration, the replacement component starts up with the same device configuration.
