The Layer 3-enabled SCALANCE XR-500 Industrial Ethernet switches are fully modular, high-performance, industry-standard switches for the construction of electrical and optical line, ring and star topologies with data transfer rates of up to 10 Gbit/s, designed for installation in 19" control cabinets.

• Up to four electrical and/or optical interfaces with 10 Gbit/s and up to 48 electrical and/or optical interfaces (10/100/1000 Mbit/s), of which up to 12 electrical PoE interfaces
• Fast media redundancy due to the integrated redundancy manager:
  Redundant connection of rings by means of high-speed media redundancy is also possible with SCALANCE XR-500.
• Seamless integration of automation networks into existing corporate networks thanks to support for a host of IT standard functions (VLANs, IGMP Snooping/Query, STP/RSTP/MSTP, Link Aggregation, Quality of Service, 802.1X and optional static routing, RIP, OSPF, VRRP)
• PROFINET diagnostics, Web browser, CLI and SNMP
• KEY-PLUG as the swap medium with which Layer 3 routing functions can be enabled.
  • For the automatic backup of configuration data. If a fault occurs, it allows fast and simple device replacement of SCALANCE XR-500 components without a Field PG (contains the function of the C-PLUG)
  • Can be used in all Layer 2 versions of SCALANCE XR-500
