Features:
- Sixteen RJ45 ports connect Industrial Ethernet devices at 10 or 100 Mbit/s.
- Managed Layer 2 functions organize traffic, monitoring, and ring recovery.
- Redundant 24 V DC feeds and a signaling contact expose supply degradation.
Siemens 6GK5216-0BA00-2AA3 forwards traffic through one sixteen-port managed switch fabric.
PROFINET and SNMP diagnostics on 6GK5216-0BA00-2AA3 report configured link and device events.
A C-PLUG can transfer saved configuration into a replacement 6GK5216-0BA00-2AA3.
The Siemens 6GK5216-0BA00-2AA3 SCALANCE X216 Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Sixteen-Port Ethernet Forwarding
- Port group: Sixteen RJ45 interfaces connect 10/100 Mbit/s terminal or network devices.
- Forwarding: Store-and-forward processing checks received frames before transmitting them.
- Autonegotiation: Port speed and duplex follow the configured or negotiated link settings.
- Diagnostics: Link, error, and packet statistics identify a local port fault before network-wide changes.
Configuration and Monitoring
- VLAN control: IEEE 802.1Q divides the physical port set into configured logical networks.
- Priority: Quality-of-service settings move selected traffic ahead of lower-priority frames.
- Mirroring: Port mirroring copies selected traffic to a diagnostic connection.
- Management: Web, CLI, SNMP, and STEP 7 provide separate setup and monitoring paths.
Power and Network Recovery
- Supply inputs: Two 24 V DC feeds allow independent power paths.
- Fault contact: The signaling contact reports selected supply or link conditions.
- Ring manager: The integrated redundancy manager controls the configured ring role.
- C-PLUG: Optional removable memory preserves the switch configuration for replacement.
Cabinet Installation Limits
- Mounting: The enclosure supports standard rail, wall, or S7-300 rail installation.
- Protection: IP30 requires the switch to remain within the intended cabinet environment.
- Operating range: The documented ambient range is -40 to +60 °C.
- Humidity: Operation permits up to 95 percent relative humidity without condensation.
