Structure 
Functional Description 
Line structures can be implemented with the SCALANCE X414-3E. The cascading 
depth and total span of a network are limited only by the signal propagation times 
of the communication connections. 
Properties of the Line Structure 
Each SCALANCE X414-3E communicates over a TP or FO cable with a neighbor-
ing switch. Communication is possible over the optical ports in slots 5, 6, or 7 or 
over the electrical ports in slots 5 and 9 to 11. With the fault mask, it is possible to 
monitor the port states using the signaling contact. In addition to interconnecting 
the switches, it is also possible to connect one or more end devices to every 
SCALANCE X414-3E. 
Configuration Example 
Sample configuration with SCALANCE X414-3E, SIMATIC S7-300/400 and opera-
tor panel as end devices.
