With the SCALANCE X product family, Siemens offers a wide range of switches for industrial use. They can be used for all Ethernet-based SIMATIC Ident devices (e.g. MV400 optical reading device, RF600 reader, RF180C communication module) to establish the network architecture.

Some of the switches recommended by Siemens are listed under the accessories for the SIMATIC Ident devices (e.g. the SCALANCE X108PoE Industrial Ethernet with the MV440 optical reader).

In this section, you can find an extract from the SCALANCE portfolio as a supplement.

You can find more information and the entire portfolio of SCALANCE switches, cables and network accessories, with the associated article numbers, in Catalog IK PI.
