- Configuring electrical and optical Industrial Ethernet line, star and ring topologies
- Fast redundancy in the ring with High Speed Redundancy (HSR); up to 0.3 seconds for reconfiguration of the ring with 50 switches in the ring
- The functioning of the ring is continuously monitored by the integrated redundancy manager (with the exception of SCALANCE X208 PRO). It recognizes failure of a transmission path in the ring or failure of a SCALANCE X-200 and activates the substitute path within 0.3 seconds
- Use in ring topologies (100 Mbit/s) together with SCALANCE X-300, SCALANCE X-400 and SCALANCE X-500
- Uncrossed connecting cables can be used due to Autocrossover function integrated in the ports
- Easy diagnostics using signaling contact, SNMP and Web browser
- Easy copper cable diagnostics with Web browser for localizing cable breaks
- Integration into the diagnostics of a PROFINET I/O controller with expanded diagnostics functions for a consistent diagnostics concept, including network infrastructure
- Diagnosis of data traffic by means of a parameterizable mirror port with a standard commercial network analyzer
- Optimized support of PROFINET real-time communication (RT) through prioritizing
- Fast device replacement in the event of a fault by using the optional C-PLUG swap medium (not included in scope of supply)
Network topology and network configuration
The Industrial Ethernet SCALANCE X-200 switches with IP30 degree of protection are usually installed in a control cabinet together with the stations to be connected. Electrical and optical versions can be installed together in star, line and ring topologies. The SCALANCE X208PRO is designed for installation outside the control cabinet.
When configuring the network, it is necessary to observe the following boundary conditions:
- Length of the TP cable between two SCALANCE X switches:
- Max. 100 m with IE FC cable and IE FC RJ45 Plug 180 or IE FC M12 Plug PRO
- Max. 10 m using patches with TP cord
- Length of the optical cables
- Max. 5000 m with Industrial Ethernet glass fiber optic cables (multimode)
- Max. 26000 m with Industrial Ethernet glass fiber optic cables (singlemode)
- IP Address:
The IP address is assigned by means of the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). If there is no corresponding server in the network, the IP address can be assigned using the supplied software tool PST (Primary Setup Tool) or STEP 7.

Commissioning and diagnosis
PROFINET diagnostic interrupts from SCALANCE X 200 Switches can be displayed with the appropriate SIMATIC Engineering Tools and processed in the controller with expanded diagnostics function. The engineering outlay for the PLC and HMI have been drastically reduced due to the complete integration in the SIMATIC concept for system error messages.
The SCALANCE X-200 Industrial Ethernet switches can also be integrated into a network management system such as SINEMA Server through the standardized Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). If faults occur on the device, error messages (SNMP traps) can be sent to a network management system or as e-mail to a specified network administrator.
The integral Web server enables configuration and diagnostics settings to be made using a standard browser (e.g. port configuration). Statistical information can also be read out over the Web server (e.g. port capacity utilization).
The following information is displayed on site by LEDs:
- Power
- Port status
- Data traffic
- Signaling contact
- Redundancy manager function (excluding SCALANCE X208 PRO)
The Industrial Ethernet switches of the SCALANCE X-200 line can also be monitored using the floating signaling contact.
