SCALANCE X-300EEC products enable the establishment of switched networks both at the field level and at the control level where high data transfer speeds are required in addition to high network availability and extensive diagnostics facilities. The switches are designed in degree of protection IP30 for installation in control cabinets.

The main area of application is found in high-performance plant networks with interfaces to the corporate network. Thanks to the immunity to electromagnetic interference of the SCALANCE X-300EEC switches, the devices can also be used in medium/high voltage substations under harsh industrial conditions.

Their compact, space-saving design (19"/2) also makes them ideal for installation in control cabinets. In addition, specially selected components permit the use of the devices over a wide temperature range (-40 °C to +70 °C, temporarily up to +85 °C). All versions are also available with specially protected printed-circuit boards (conformal coating) for use in environments subject to contamination.
