Industrial Ethernet Switches for Networks with a Future


Siemens Managed Switches are active network components that support the structuring of an industrial communication network into electrical or optical line, star, and ring structures. They specifically distribute data to the defined addresses and structure the data traffic. Data throughput and network performance are increased. The graded SCALACE X portfolio from Siemens has the right switch for every demand placed on an industrial network.


Managed Switches Offer:

  • A network for real-time (PROFINET and EtherNet/IP) and standard TCP/IP, eliminating duplicate infrastructure

  • High network availability due to integrated redundancy mechanisms (ring structures)

  • Reduced downtimes by saving configuration data

  • Integration into existing concepts for network security through integrated security functions

  • Configuration through WBM or CLI, local or remote

  • Diagnostics through LEDs on the device, through WBM or network management through SNMP with SINEMA server

  • Integration in the STEP 7 and PCS 7 engineering tools

  • Integrated system diagnostics with PROFINET

  • High network and machine availability
