SCALANCE X-200 IRT switches in compact design
You can implement line and star structures with the switches of the SCALANCE X‑200 IRT product line; it is also possible to implement low-cost electrical or optical ring topologies with transmission rates up to 100 Mbit/s. All switches can be used in the ring as redundancy managers, and additionally support the standby redundancy for bus configurations with two redundant rings. As a redundancy manager, an X‑200 IRT switch monitors the SCALANCE X switches connected via its ring ports, and switches bumpless to the substitute route on failure of a transmission route or switch in the ring.
The switches of the SCALANCE X‑200 IRT product line are available in two designs:
- X-200 in a rugged compact housing
- XF-200 in a flat housing according to the ET 200S format
