SCALANCE XM408-8C Industrial Ethernet switch

The switches in the SCALANCE XM‑400 product line allow for the flexible design of electrical or optical Industrial Ethernet networks with high availability. They are ideally suited for configuring the plant bus and the terminal bus of the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system in electrical or optical Gigabit ring technology (non-redundant and redundant rings). The network topology and number and type of ports can be easily adapted to the structure of the system.
