A managed Layer 2 industrial Ethernet switch with twelve Fast Ethernet ports and four Gigabit combo ports for flexible copper or fiber network connections.

At a Glance

Brand Siemens
Model 6GK5216-4BS00-2AC2
Product Type XC216-4C Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch
Core Function Managed industrial Ethernet switching and network segmentation
Application or Compatible Series PROFINET and Industrial Ethernet networks

Engineering Fit

Suitable for machine, plant and control networks requiring managed redundancy, VLAN functions and flexible Gigabit uplinks.

Replacement Focus

Confirm the exact XC216-4C article number, port media, SFP modules, firmware, C-PLUG, VLANs, redundancy roles and PROFINET device identity.

Product Overview

This managed SCALANCE switch provides twelve 10/100 Mbit/s RJ45 ports plus four Gigabit combo ports. Each combo port can be used through either its electrical RJ45 connection or a suitable optical SFP interface.

Layer 2 management, redundancy protocols, VLAN segmentation and diagnostics support resilient industrial network designs. Configuration data and the C-PLUG should be handled according to the installed network strategy.

Ordering focus: verify copper and fiber port assignments, approved SFP modules, 24 V power wiring, firmware, C-PLUG content, VLAN and redundancy configuration, and mounting method.
Key Functions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can 6GK5216-4BS00-2AC2 use copper and fiber uplinks at the same time?

Yes. Use the four combo positions as either their RJ45 interface or a compatible SFP interface, while respecting one active medium per combo port.

Which redundancy options can I configure on 6GK5216-4BS00-2AC2?

Use the supported RSTP or Media Redundancy Protocol functions that match the topology and controller design.

Can 6GK5216-4BS00-2AC2 participate in PROFINET diagnostics?

Yes. Configure it as a PROFINET IO device with the correct device name and network parameters.

What should I save before replacing 6GK5216-4BS00-2AC2?

Back up the switch configuration, VLAN assignments, redundancy roles, management settings and device identity.

Does 6GK5216-4BS00-2AC2 support removable configuration media?

Yes. A compatible C-PLUG can store configuration data for supported replacement workflows.

Which SFP modules should be installed in 6GK5216-4BS00-2AC2?

Use only Siemens-supported SFP modules that match the fiber type, distance, connector and environmental requirements.

How should the power supply for 6GK5216-4BS00-2AC2 be wired for redundancy?

Connect the documented 24 V DC supply inputs through correctly protected circuits and verify both feeds in diagnostics.

Compatibility & Ordering Notes
Before ordering 6GK5216-4BS00-2AC2: match the port media, SFP modules, firmware and stored network configuration before replacing the switch.

Compatibility Checks

  • Map every RJ45 and SFP connection to the installed topology.
  • Back up VLAN, redundancy and management settings.
  • Confirm the PROFINET device name and IP configuration.
  • Check both 24 V DC supply feeds and the C-PLUG procedure.
