Industrial Ethernet Switch
Industrial Ethernet switches are the perfect network component for your automation. They serve as a link between all Ethernet devices and transparently forward data to higher level industrial functions.
Equipped for all ambient conditions, you are sure to find the right switch for your application: devices with copper or fiber-optic ports, for the control cabinet or for use in harsh environments.
The Scalance X-200 Ethernet switches are robust, reliable and secure and offer many functions: Virtual LANs, redundancy mechanisms and optional complete PROFINET or Ethernet/IP diagnostics in one device.
The Scalance X-200 have a rugged metal housing, and are optimised for mounting on a standard rail and can also be wall mounted. This gives you flexibility in designing the network topology: from redundant setup and minimisation of downtime, through integrated and reliable segmentation across all levels to barrier-free connection to cloud-based systems.
In addition to variants for setting up electrical and optical networks, some of the Scalance X-200 switches can bridge distances of up to 200 km with 2 GB-capable SFPs.
Thanks to their properties including an extended temperature range (40 °C to 70 °C) and approvals for railway applications and hazardous areas, the Scalance X-200 switches can be flexibly used in a wide variety of environments: in mechanical engineering, in the automotive industry, in the food & beverages industry, along rail-guided routes or in the oil and gas industry.
DBI Control recently used the 6GK5208-OBA10-2AA3 Industrial Ethernet switch with 8 electrical ports for mounting in the control cabinet in a scalance field panel for an upgrade for the Postal and Packaging sector in Gatwick Airport.
They are configured with the web-based management that is browser supported or with a command line interface. They also have the advantage of preventing downtime caused by contaminated or worn optical connections by means of Fiber Monitoring.
Some of the benefits of the Scalance X-200 are
- Ideal solution for configuring Industrial Ethernet line, star and ring topologies
- Reliable plug-in connection thanks to rugged, industry-standard device connection in conjunction with PROFINET-compliant FastConnect connectors
- High network availability
- Integration of the switches in the existing network management infrastructure through SNMP access point
- Easy integration in the process diagnosis and system diagnosis with PROFINET
- Module replacement without the need for a programming device
