SCALANCE XC-200 Industrial Ethernet switches with a rugged enclosure are optimized for mounting on standard DIN rails and SIMATIC S7-1500 mounting rails Direct wall mounting in various positions and mounting on a SIMATIC S7-300 mounting rail are also possible. Due to the SIMATIC S7-1500 housing dimensions, the devices are optimally suited for integration into an automation solution with SIMATIC S7-1500 components.

The network access points with IP20 degree of protection feature:

• A 4-pin terminal block (push-in) for connecting the redundant supply voltage (2 x 24 DC)
• The following status information is displayed by LEDs on site:
  • Port status
  • Port mode (10/100/1 000 Mbps, full/half-duplex)
  • Status of the two power supplies
  • Signaling contact status
  • Signal mask (setpoint status)
  • Redundancy manager mode (RM mode)
  • Standby mode
• A 2-pin terminal block (push-in) for connecting the floating signaling contact
• A SELECT/SET key for on-site configuration of the signaling contact
