Features:
- Twenty-four 10/100 Mbit/s RJ45 ports provide managed copper access in a compact SCALANCE enclosure.
- VLAN, DHCP, IGMP, QoS, PROFINET, and Ethernet/IP functions organize Layer 2 traffic and device services.
- IEC 62443-4-2 certification accompanies RADIUS, IEEE 802.1X, SSH, SSL, and traffic-limiting controls.
The XC224 port bank uses securing collars so industrial RJ45 cables can be retained along the dense front connection row.
Port mirroring, RMON, SysLog, and packet statistics provide several observation paths for commissioning and diagnosis.
Its C-PLUG separates removable configuration storage from the active switch hardware, while redundant supply terminals protect the power entry path.
The Siemens 6GK5224-0BA00-2AC2 SCALANCE XC224 Managed Layer 2 IE Switch may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Twenty-Four Managed Access Connections
- Access bank: All 24 front RJ45 ports accept 10 or 100 Mbit/s Ethernet endpoints through the same managed fabric.
- Cable retention: Securing collars hold the fitted RJ45 connectors against movement at the dense port row.
- Console separation: The RJ11 operator console is reserved for local management rather than ordinary switched traffic.
- Fault output: A two-pole signaling terminal reports the configured device fault state to external wiring.
Addressing and Broadcast Organization
- Port VLANs: Up to 257 port-based VLANs separate traffic groups across the physical RJ45 bank.
- DHCP server: The switch can assign addresses inside the configured network instead of relying only on an external server.
- Relay information: DHCP Option 82 adds circuit information when client requests cross the switch.
- Multicast control: IGMP snooping and querier functions confine multicast delivery to the ports that require it.
Ring, Tree, and Parallel Paths
- PROFINET rings: MRP and MRP-I manage ring links and interconnected rings within the configured topology.
- Rapid trees: STP, RSTP, RSTP+, and MSTP block loops while retaining alternate Ethernet branches.
- High-speed rings: HRP can operate with a redundancy manager or a standby connection between ring sections.
- Parallel access: PRP accepts duplicated traffic over two independent LANs without using a switching switchover.
Controlled Access to Switch Functions
- Local session: The RJ11 console provides a dedicated command path when network management is unavailable.
- Remote sessions: HTTPS, SSH, SNMPv3, WBM, and CLI offer encrypted or authenticated management choices.
- Port admission: IEEE 802.1X works with a RADIUS server to authenticate connected network participants.
- Traffic containment: Broadcast, multicast, and unicast limiters restrict excess traffic before it crosses additional ports.
