Is Scalance the Solution to All Your Industrial Network Communication Problems?

Can’t Find the Right Products for Your Network Communication System?

Finding the right network communication components in an industrial environment can be challenging. Harsh environments and demanding criteria can make it difficult to find the right fit. Whether it is to find specific elements compatible with one another, withstand certain conditions, or possess the correct number of ports. With this in mind, Siemens created Scalance to ensure you have a top to bottom solution for every layer of your industrial network communication system.

What is Scalance?

Siemens created a brand of industrial networking communication components called Scalance. These components range are all the various network parts that form the basis of industrial network communications. This ranges from ethernet switches, Wireless local area network systems, and industrial security appliances. Scalance cutting edge products are high preforming, robust, and future viable. All-important characteristics you need for an efficient industrial network communication system.

What is the Best Type of Ethernet Switch?

Siemens produces unmanaged and managed ethernet switches. The Scalance Unmanaged Ethernet Switches are great for compact, simple machine network communications, whereas managed ethernet switches have higher network availability and better functionality and design.

If you’re looking for robust, compatible, and high-level functioning, the Scalance X series is the right fit for you. From 5 to 58 ports, temperature control, and containing both PROFINET and EtherNet, Scalance provides flexibility and compatibility with other parts. With a more elevated level of function and design, Scalance X switches are the backbone of many industries in industrial network communications.

Looking For Industry Grade Switches That Are Simple and Compact?

Compact Modules Switches (CSM)

• For easy machine integration
• Industry grade, space-saving design
• Simple diagnostics

SCALANCE X-000 Compact Switches

• For the cost-effective setup of small Industrial Ethernet networks
• With robust metal or plastic housing
• 5 to 8 ports

Additionally, Siemens provides ample SFP ports to ensure that each customer finds the proper plug-in for their Scalance ethernet switch. The SFP plug-in transceivers expand the Scalance X portfolio and increase the number of applications and flexibility of Scalance X products with SFP slots.

Scalance – Industrial Wireless Local Area Network

Scalance Wireless LAN offers simple to high-performance Wi-Fi solutions. Unique elements called IFeatures are integrated into demanding and high-performance wireless LANs, allowing Scalance IWLAN to fulfill many industrial applications.

IFeatures:

• Industrial Parallel Redundancy Protocol – For trouble with poor wireless coverage or disturbance, the IPRP features uses redundancy technology to prevent these issues. Utilizing two radio links in wireless networks enables a second path that continues running if the initial path is disturbed.
• Industrial Point Coordination Function – the use of RCoax radiating cables instead of conventional antennas ensures real-time communication that is reliable and continuous. 
• Inter AP- Blocking – AP Blocking prevents data manipulation and theft by allowing only devices connected to verified IP addresses to connect to the Wireless LAN instead of the usual process where anyone can connect to the network.
