Seamless Ethernet communication over data networks from the cloud down to the sensor/actuator level describes nothing less than the implementation of Industry 4.0. The T1 Industrial Style interface according to IEC 63171-6 is immediately also available in a robust M12 housing.
End-to-end Ethernet from the cloud to the sensor has so far not been economically feasible due to the lack of a suitable infrastructure. Single Pair Ethernet has now closed that gap. Significantly reducing the number of cables and connectors saves space, conserves resources and enables field applications that were previously only possible with traditional signal wiring. SPE can accommodate significantly more sensors, allowing more data to be captured from the field. As a result, operators can gain a much more detailed view of their processes and are much better able to make improvements.
With immediate effect offers HARTING also its T1 Industrial Style interface, according to the international standard IEC 63171-6, also in a robust M12 all-metal housing. With IP 65/67 protection and reliable 360° shielding, SPE can now be deployed in challenging environments.
