Types of installation
IE Switches X-200 can be installed in various ways:
● Installation on a 35 mm DIN rail
● Installation on a SIMATIC S7-300 standard rail (not possible with XF-200 IE switches)
● Wall mounting (not possible with the XF-200 IE switches)
WARNING
When used in shipbuilding, installation of SCALANCE X224, X216, X212-2, X212-2LD,
X204IRT PRO, X202-2P IRT PRO and X201-3P IRT PRO on a 35 mm DIN rail is not
permitted.
In ships, the 35 mm DIN rail does not provide adequate support.
Note
When installing and operating the device, keep to the installation instructions and safety-
related notices as described here and in the manual SIMATIC NET Industrial Ethernet
Twisted Pair and Fiber Optic Networks /1/.
Unless stated otherwise, the mounting options listed below apply to all X-200 IE switches.
Note
Provide suitable shade to protect the IE Switch X-200 against direct sunlight. This avoids
unwanted warming of the IE Switch X-200 and prevents premature aging of the device
and cabling.
