Introduction to 1 Industrial Ethernet Switches 1.1 Basic Information Switching With switching technology, data packets are forwarded directly from the input port to the appropriate output port during data exchange based on the address informa- tion. Switches operate on a direct delivery basis. Essentially, switches have the following functions: ● Connection of Collision Domains / Subnets Since repeaters and star couplers (hubs) operate at the physical level, their use is restricted

Introduction to Industrial Ethernet Switches 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 me

Introduction to Industrial Ethernet Switches 1.2 Topologies 1.2.1 Ring with Redundancy Manager To increase the availability, optical or electrical line topologies of up to 50 switches (SCALANCE X-400, SCALANCE X-200, or OSM/ESM) can be closed with a SCALANCE X414-3E to form a ring. Functional Description With a SCALANCE X414-3E operating as a redundancy manager, the two ends are closed to form a ring with redundancy manager. The redundancy function is activated or deactivated by switche

Introduction to Industrial Ethernet Switches Electrical Ring A redundant electrical ring with redundancy manager can be set up without media modules since the basic device provides two RJ-45 jacks on slot 5 that allow con- nection of electrical (twisted pair) connections (10, 100, 1000 Mbps). The factory setting defines the two ports on slot 5 as ring ports. Optical Ring An optical ring with redundancy manager is only possible with media modules. Which slots or ports should be used, depen

Introduction to Industrial Ethernet Switches 1.2.2 Star Structure Functional Description Star structures can be implemented with the SCALANCE X414-3E. The cascading depth and total span of a network are limited only by the signal propagation times of the communication connections. Properties of a Star Structure Each SCALANCE X414-3E communicates over a TP or FO cable with a central switch with which all other switches are also connected within a star structure. Communication is possible

Introduction to Industrial Ethernet Switches The two devices connected in the configuration exchange data frames with each other to synchronize their operating statuses (one device is master and the other slave). If there are no problems, only the link from the master to the other network segment is active. If this link fails (for example due to a link-down or a device fail- ure), the slave activates its link as long as the problem persists. Operating Instructions for SCALANCE X-400
