Application

SCALANCE XB005

The main purpose of the unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switch SCALANCE XB005 is to configure 10/100 Mbps in line and star topologies for Industrial Ethernet networks.

Enclosure designed to save space when installed on a conventional rail in control cabinets or boxes

SCALANCE X005/XC108

For configuring industrial Ethernet networks with star and line topologies

The 5/8 RJ45 sockets are compliant with the industry and come with additional retaining collars for connecting to the IE FC RJ45 plug 180.

SCALANCE XC208/X208PRO

To configure eight electrical ports in a line, star, or ring topology on Industrial Ethernet networks:

- It is meant for Scalance XC208 to be installed inside the control cabinet.
- In contrast, Scalance X208PRO is made especially to be used externally.

The eight RJ45 sockets on the SCALANCE XC208 are industry-compatible and feature additional fastening collars to attach to the IE FC RJ45 plug 180.

With an IP65 degree of protection, the eight PROFINET-compatible M12 sockets on the SCALANCE X208PRO can be linked to the IE M12 plug PRO or the pre-assembled IE M12 connecting cable.

The SCALANCE X208PRO is available in compact flat or upright variants that can be put directly on the installation or machine, as well as S7-300 or DIN rail mounting options.

Status information is legible from any mounting position thanks to the angled row of LEDs.

The PS791-1PRO power supply module, which runs at 230 V AC and is situated outside the control cabinet, provides extra power for the SCALANCE X208PRO.
