176 System Manual, 09/2019, C79000-G8976-C242-10
The devices support the S2 system redundancy and H-Sync and can be integrated into
SIMATIC S7-1500 R/H systems. In addition, the devices support Configuration in Run
(CiR/H-CiR). This enables configuration changes defined via PROFINET to be performed at
the switch during operation.
The configuration data can also be stored on the optionally available C-PLUG removable
data storage medium. This enables quick configuration of a new device during device
replacement.
All devices are suitable for the industry protocol PROFINET. The two models XP-208 and
XP-216 are also available preassembled ex factory for EtherNet/IP.
