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.
- Four optical interfaces (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;
up to twelve electrical and/or optical 4-port media modules can be plugged into the basic unit at any point. - 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/Querier, STP/RSTP/MSTP, Link Aggregation, Quality of Service, 802.1x and optional static routing, RIP, OSPF, VRRP for IPv4 and IPv6)
- Redundant integration into higher-level networks through support for standardized redundancy procedures (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol, Spanning Tree Protocol, Rapid Reconfiguration Spanning Tree Protocol, Media Redundancy Protocol) and standardized IP routing protocols or procedures (Routing Information Protocol, Open Shortest Path First, Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol)
- PROFINET diagnostics, Web browser, CLI and SNMP
