The new SCALANCE XM-400 product line includes modular industrial Ethernet switches that can be expanded with various port extenders and plug-in transceivers, enabling a maximum configuration of up to 24 ports. It supports 10/100/1000 Mbit technology and can be used for various transmission media (twisted pair, fiber optic, etc.) as well as high port requirements. It is mainly used for high-performance factory networks (control level). With the help of a flexible modular structure, the XM-400 product line can also meet future requirements and be adjusted according to relevant tasks.

The new XM-400 series will replace the previous X-400 series (X414-3E and X408-2).

• Combo port for flexible use of interfaces: One Combo port contains an electrical port and an SFP slot. Always keep one of these two ports active. If an SFP plug-in transceiver is inserted, the electrical port will be disabled.

• Utilizing WLAN and NFC for rapid mobile diagnostics via smartphones/tablets: Quickly access the web management features of SCALANCE XM-400 through a mobile website. This feature can be activated using existing WLAN and NFC (Near Field Communication)

• By integrating a redundancy manager, high-speed media redundancy for large networks can be achieved, suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet

• Remote diagnosis can be achieved through PROFINET diagnostics, CLI, web browser, or SNMP.

• Integrated into TIA Expo, configuration can be uploaded/downloaded

• Thanks to supporting a large number of IT standards, automated networks can be seamlessly integrated into existing company networks: establishing virtual networks (VLANs);

• Supports standard redundancy protocols (Fast Spanning Tree Protocol, Link Aggregation Protocol) and can be integrated into upper level enterprise networks

• By recording the multicast source and destination (Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping), the SCALANCE XM-400 switch can also filter multicast data traffic, thus limiting network load.

• By combining the use of KEY-PLUG XM-400, layer 3 functionality can be activated for IPv4 (and soon for IPv6 as well). For more detailed instructions, please refer to the "Attachment for Layer 3 Switches/Routers"

• Create IP subnet and IP router communication through Layer 3 switching (IP routing)

• static routing

• Dynamic Routing OSPF (Open Shortest Route First Protocol) and RIPv2 (Routing Information Protocol)

• Redundant Routing VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol)

XM408-8C

• There are a total of 8 ports, including:

• Up to 8 10/100/1000 Mbit/s RJ45 ports with fixed loops

• Up to 8 SFP slots (combination ports), 100 or 1000 Mbit/s

• Can connect two port extenders with 8 ports to achieve up to 24 ports in one switch
