Introduction to Industrial Ethernet Switches
Operating Instructions for SCALANCE X-400 Industrial Ethernet Switches
12 C79000-G8976-C186-03
The Need for Industrial Ethernet Switches
With over 80% of LANs based on Ethernet, this is the most commonly used tech-
nology. The use of switches is particularly important: They allow extensive net-
works with large numbers of nodes to be set up, increase the data throughput and
simplify network expansion.
The modular SCALANCE X-400 Industrial Ethernet switches from SIMATIC NET
are designed for use in high-performance networks that will also meet future re-
quirements. Thanks to their modular design, the switches can be adapted to the
task in hand in terms of number of ports and transmission medium. Support of Of-
fice standards makes the smooth integration of automation networks in existing of-
fice networks possible.
The devices are designed for use in switching cubicles and cabinets.
Technical Options (network topologies)
The modularity of SCALANCE X-400 switches simplifies the expansion of a net-
work regardless of the network topology.
You can use a SCALANCE X-400 in the following network topologies:
Ring with redundancy manager
Star structure
Line structure
The maximum cable length is 26 km for single mode fast Ethernet transmission
and 10 km for single mode gigabit transmission. Mixed operation within the topol-
ogy, for example between SCALANCE X414-3E and OSMs/ESMs is possible re-
gardless of the structure being used (ring with redundancy manager, star, or line
structure).
Using the SCALANCE X-400 as the redundancy manager in a ring with redun-
dancy manager provides greater availability. If there is an interruption on the con-
nection between these switches, the SCALANCE X-400 used as redundancy man-
ager acts like a switch and in a very short time creates a line from the ring with re-
dundant manager. As a result, a functional, end-to-end structure is restored.
