How long do I need from landing to reaching the train station in Zürich Airport?

When you arrive with SWISS form Berlin, your Airplane will probably be parked at the Gates A, B or D or very rarely at an outside position. For gates A, B & D you will have a roughly 5 - 10 minutes walk to the exit and another 1 - 2 minutes to the train tracks. If you are parked at an outside position you will have a busride of 5 - 10 minutes and another 1 - 2 minutes to the exit. In either case you will be fine and should have plenty of time to make your connection.
There are 2 things that could get you to miss your connection:
- Your flight is delayed for more than 30 minutes
- Customs is highly interrested in you

Unfortunately, these days, any rules of thumb which used to be valid in former times (i.e. a countries flag carrier will always dock at the finger of the terminal) don't seem to be valid anymore.
Also in Zurich, your commute time heavily depends on if you arrive at the terminal where you need to go on a people mover to get to the other terminal.
So I would plan anything in between 30 minutes and 60 minutes between the scheduled arrival time and the time you will reach the airport's train station.
On any tighter schedule it will be just luck to make it or not.

I was at Zurich Airport only last week (for my first visit there). It is not a huge airport. In my opinion, with the rules and assumptions you specify, I think you will make it from plane to train with plenty of time to spare.
The airport's website is quite helpful: https://www.zurich-airport.com/passengers-and-visitors/airport-services-en/site-plans

The trip is now over, and it went really well. We landed with almost 40 min delay (it was even more delayed when we started, the captain was able to make up some time in the air), but I only needed 15 minutes to go from the airplane to the train track. So I was able to comfortably catch the train.
