Siemens SCALANCE X and Solidot SW4 industrial-switch comparison
Compare SCALANCE X-000/X-200 and Solidot SW4 switches by ports, speed, PROFINET traffic priority, management, rings, power and environment.
Short answer
What does this page recommend?
A technical alternative, not a drop-in substitute
The Solidot SW4 family includes unmanaged, PROFINET-traffic-priority and managed options. MRP/RSTP, PROFINET conformance, SNMP, VLAN, cybersecurity or certifications of a SCALANCE model must not be assumed equal.

The table explains product architectures; it is not an exact order-code selection.
| Validation area | Siemens SCALANCE X-000 / X-200 | Solidot / ProControl candidate |
|---|---|---|
| Switch class | X-000 is unmanaged; functions vary by model in the managed X-200 family. | SW4-GUP/HUP are unmanaged, GUP-PN is traffic-priority, and GMP/GMS are managed options. |
| Ports and performance | RJ45/M12/SFP, 100 Mbit/Gigabit, switching capacity and latency depend on exact model. | SW4-GUP05D-PN publishes 5×Gigabit RJ45, up to 7 µs forwarding latency and dual power. |
| PROFINET | Conformance, LLDP/DCP, diagnostics and MRP are selected by exact model. | IEEE 802.1p priority does not imply PROFINET certification or equal conformance class. |
| Management and rings | VLAN, SNMP, RSTP/MRP, rings and diagnostics depend on X-200 order code. | For VLAN, SNMP, RSTP/MSTP/ERPS/MRP or redundancy, prove the exact managed SW4 code separately. |
| Industrial conditions | Redundant supply, alarm, EMC, temperature and certifications vary by model. | GUP05D-PN publishes -40…+80 °C and IP40; map all environmental, EMC and certification requirements from datasheets. |
Suitable scenario
When is it worth evaluating?
- New unmanaged or basic PROFINET machine networks
- Topologies with clear port and environmental requirements
- Projects where management and ring functions can be redesigned
Migration gate
Before making a decision
- List the exact SCALANCE model and every used function.
- Fix port, speed, fibre, PoE and connector requirements.
- Document MRP/RSTP, VLAN, SNMP, LLDP/DCP and diagnostics.
- Verify temperature, redundant supply, alarm and EMC class.
- Test load, ring break, broadcast and power interruption.
Frequently asked
Clear answers about alternatives and migration
Is this a drop-in replacement?
No. It is not a direct substitute until exact model, electrical, protocol-role, mechanical, software and certification checks pass.
What should I provide for selection?
The exact existing code, diagram or I/O list, PLC/network data, supply, environment and special functions in use.
Is SW4-GUP05D-PN PROFINET certified?
The current official record publishes PROFINET traffic priority; do not call it certified without a certificate or conformance document.

This content compares manufacturer-published data under the same project requirement; it does not guarantee direct substitution or project compatibility. ProControl engineering must validate exact model, revision, protocol, electrical, safety and environmental conditions.
