Description

Figure 4-15
The devices of the SCALANCE XC-200 product line are managed Industrial Ethernet
switches for the setup of Industrial Ethernet networks with transmission rates of 10/100/1000
Mbps in linear, star or ring structures.
The rear of the robust enclosure in the SIMATIC S7-1500 format consists of die-cast
aluminum and offers all options for the installation that are required in the industrial
environment (SIMATIC S7-1500 and S7-300 standard rail standard DIN rail, wall mounting).
The housings have IP20 degree of protection and are designed for installation in a control
cabinet. The RJ45 sockets with securing collar provide additional strain and bend relief for
the use of FastConnect connectors. The redundant power distribution, a signaling contact, a
console port for the direct device access as well as the optionally available exchangeable
storage medium C-PLUG enable efficient operation of the devices.
Through a wide range of port configurations for copper and fiber-optic cables, all usual
deployment scenarios can be covered in the medium-power range. The combo ports
available with some devices provide for special flexibility. A combo port is a switch port with
two optionally usable hardware interfaces, a combination of an RJ45 socket with a pluggable
transceiver slot. If a pluggable transceiver is used, the RJ45 connector switches off and the
pluggable transceiver is used for the data transfer. The pluggable transceivers can be used
or replaced during operation.
The equipment scope of the SCALANCE XC-200 device allows the setup of networks with
the highest reliability and availability. SCALANCE XC-200 devices support the redundancy
procedures HRP and MRP as well as standby redundancy between HRP rings. Changes on
fiber-optic cable sections or at fiber-optic cable ports can be detected at an early stage with
fiber monitoring. All devices are suitable for the industry protocol PROFINET. There are also
device variants for EtherNet/IP. SNMP can be used for remote diagnostics. The devices
support the S2 system redundancy and H-Sync and can be integrated into the SIMATIC S7-
1500 R/H systems.
