Description of SIEMENS SCALANCE X101-1
Specification
The SCALANCE X-100 product line offers unmanaged industrial Ethernet media converters that efficiently convert electrical signals into optical signals at data transfer rates of 10/100 Mbps, ideal for line and star topologies. These converters feature electrical or optical connections to nodes or networks according to the port characteristics of the devices. Enclosed in a rugged metal casing, the SCALANCE X-100 converters are designed for space-saving mounting on standard rails, SIMATIC S7-300 DIN rails, or directly on walls. They ensure robust node connections with industry-standard RJ45 connectors, equipped with retaining collars for additional strain relief. The devices support redundant power supplies and provide diagnostics via LEDs for power, link status, and data communication. An error-signaling contact, adjustable with a SET button, adds to their user-friendly design.
These media converters are cost-effective solutions for converting electrical signals into optical signals within industrial Ethernet line, star, and ring topologies, specifically designed for control cabinet installations. They can link single remote terminal units or network segments through optical paths and integrate them into redundant rings or standby link configurations. The SIPLUS SCALANCE X-100 variants feature conformal-coated PCBs, making them suitable for harsh environments. The converters’ dimensions match those of the SIMATIC S7-300, ensuring seamless integration with SIMATIC S7-300 automation solutions. Additionally, they include a 4-pin terminal block for a redundant 24 V DC power supply, a row of LEDs for status display, a 2-pin terminal block for the floating signaling contact, and a SET button for local configuration, making them versatile and reliable for industrial Ethernet networking needs.
