• With their rugged metal housing, the SCALANCE X-200IRT switches to IP 30 degree of protection are optimized for mounting on a DIN rail and a SIMATIC S7-300 rail. Direct wall mounting in various positions is also possible. Thanks to the SIMATIC S7-300 housing dimensions, the devices are ideally suited for integration into an automation solution with SIMATIC S7-300 components.
• The SCALANCE XF204-2BA IRT switch with its rugged plastic enclosure with IP20 degree of protection is optimized for mounting on standard DIN rails. Thanks to the housing dimensions of the SIMATIC ET 200SP, the devices are suitable for integration into an automation solution with SIMATIC ET 200SP components.
• The switches have a 2 or 4-pin terminal block for connecting the redundant supply voltage (2 x 24 V DC).
  The status information is indicated by means of a row of LEDs (power, link status, data communication, power supply, signaling contact).

The SCALANCE X-200IRT modules are available with the following port types:

• 10/100BaseTX, RJ45 connection
  RJ45 port, automatic detection of the data rate (10 or 100 Mbps), with Autosensing and Autocrossover function for connecting IE FC cables over IE FC RJ45 Plug 180 over distances up to 100 m.
• 100BaseFX, ST/BFOC connection technology
  ST/BFOC ports for direct connection to Industrial Ethernet glass fiber-optic cables up to 5 000 m for configuring line and star topologies.
• 100BaseFX, SC RJ connections
  SC RJ ports for connection to Industrial Ethernet POF (50 m) and PCF FOC (100 m) using SC RJ plug connectors

The SCALANCE XF204-2BA IRT can be equipped and operated with all bus adapter modules (RJ45, SC RJ, FastConnect, LC) that are available for SIMATIC ET 200SP. When equipped with just one bus adapter, the XF204-2BA IRT can also be used as a simple media converter with diagnostics (e.g. for POF connections).
