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.
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
Compatibility Checks
