Note 
The number of SCALANCE X Industrial Ethernet switches connected in a line influences the 
frame delay time.
 
When a frame passes through devices of the SCALANCE X
-
100 product line, it is delayed by 
the store and forward function of the switch
 
  with a 64 byte frame length by approx. 10 microseconds (at 100 Mbps) 
  with a 1500 byte frame length by approx. 130 microseconds (at 100 Mbps) 
This means that the more devices of the SCALANCE X
-100 product line, the frame passes 
through, the longer the frame delay.
 
 
Note 
Temperature code for c-UL-us for hazardous locations, FM and ATEX Zone 2 
You will find the temperature code "T.." or the maximum ambient temperature "Ta: .." on the 
type plate.
