The managed Industrial Ethernet switches of the SCALANCE XC-200 product line are optimized for setting up Industrial Ethernet networks with data transfer rates of 10/100 Mbps in a line, star or ring topology. Furthermore, high-performance optical structures with up to 1 000 Mbps can be set up with the SCALANCE XC206-2SFP.

• Rugged enclosure in SIMATIC S7-1500 format, for mounting on standard DIN rails and SIMATIC S7-300 and SIMATIC S7-1500 mounting rails, or for direct wall mounting
• Electrical or optical connection to stations or networks according to port characteristics of the devices
• Version with SFP plug-in transceivers for transmission rates up to 1 000 Mbps
• Rugged station connections with industry-standard RJ45 connectors that offer additional strain and bending strain relief thanks to latching on the enclosure
• Redundant power supply
• Console port for direct access to device
• Display of comprehensive operating mode and status information via LEDs and selection pushbuttons
• Signaling contact for connecting to an error signaling system
• Slot for optional C-PLUG removable data storage medium for easy device replacement without additional equipment such as a field PG
• Grounding screw for external ground connection
• Flexible use in the automation environment due to switchover between the two industry protocols PROFINET and EtherNet/IP in the device
• Extensive diagnostics options: Full integration in PROFINET and EtherNet/IP diagnostics, SNMP access, integrated web server and automatic e-mail transmission function for remote diagnostics and signaling via the network
• Virtual LANs (VLAN) for easy structuring of large networks into smaller, logical subnetworks. Reasons for the subdivision into logical subnetworks are, for example, separation of the Ethernet networks to reduce the broadcast load, separation of sensitive areas from the main network, and subdivision of the network into logical working groups
• By learning the multicast sources and destinations (Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping), SCALANCE XC-200 switches can also filter multicast data traffic and thus limit the load on the network
• Integrated security functions offer protection against unauthorized network access and configuration (e.g. authentication via IEEE 802.1X)
