Flexibility, Availability, Reliability
The Siemens SCALANCE X Industrial Ethernet switches are designed for use in PROFINET networks
and meet the special requirements of the process industry. Digitalization ensures a higher data volume and requires flexible as well as secure industrial communication networks. PROFINET enables flexible
network architectures and allows the integration of existing PROFIBUS networks.
SCALANCE XC-200EEC For use as a service bridge, to create structured networks in the field, and for the electrical or optical connection of multiple PROFINET devices. | SCALANCE XF204-2BA For a flexible network structure with copper or fiber-optic cables. |
SCALANCE XP-200EEC
For applications with protection class IP65 in
flat design, for powering PoE-capable terminal devices.
SCALANCE XF204-2BA DNA For connecting PROFINET S2 devices to a redundant controller ("Y switch"). | IE/PB LINK HA Gateway between Industrial Ethernet and PROFIBUS, PROIFNET IO proxy with real-time communication. |
Benefits at a Glance
High availability
by implementing redundant networks
Reliable to use
thanks to protection class IP65, Conformal Coating, NAMUR NE 21 compliance, and an extended temperature range
Easy to Operate
via integrated system diagnostics with PROFINET
Great flexibility
through the use of BusAdapters (BA) or product variants with different port versions and a space-saving design
SCALANCE X Industrial Ethernet switches provide maximum flexibility, availability, and reliability in harsh environments. They create communications networks that are reliable and secure whether for electrical or optical, line, star, or ring structures within the process automation system.
For flexibility in network design, the SCALANCE XF204-2BA and SCALANCE XF204-BA DNA switches can be fitted to the control panel easily and quickly. SCALANCE XP-200EEC switches enable control panel-free design in both indoor and outdoor settings.
