The SCALANCE X-200 Industrial Ethernet switches with a rugged metal housing are optimized for mounting on a standard rail and an S7-300 rail. Direct wall mounting in various positions is also possible. Thanks to the S7-300 housing dimensions, the devices are suitable for integration into an automation solution with S7-300 components.
The switches with IP20/IP30 degree of protection feature:
A 4-pole terminal block for connecting the redundant supply voltage (2 x 24 V DC)
A row of LEDs to indicate the status information (power, link status, data exchange, power supply, signaling contact)
A 2-pole terminal block for connecting the floating signaling contact
A SET button for on-site configuration of the signaling contact
The SCALANCE X-200 switches are available with the following port types:
10/100BaseTX, RJ45 connection; automatic detection of the data rate (10 or 100 Mbit/s), with autosensing and auto-crossover function for connecting IE FC cables via IE FC RJ45 Plug 180 over distances up to 100 m.
100BaseFX, BFOC connection technique; BFOC ports for direct connection to Industrial Ethernet glass fiber-optic cables up to 5 km (multimode FOC) or up to 26 km (single-mode FOC) for configuring line, ring and star topologies.
