On June 29, 2021, the PROFINET User Organization (PNO) published the PROFINET Cabling and Interconnection Technology – Guideline for PROFINET Version 5.0, a new set of rules for PROFINET-compliant cabling in industrial equipment, systems and plants. The connection surface of the ix Industrial® for Ethernet transmission represents an important new component in the SPC section “Specific passive components”. 

Manufacturers of PROFINET-compliant devices are now able to develop more compact devices on a safe and reliable basis and thereby save valuable installation space in the control cabinet. Given the 70%'s smaller ix Industrial® device connection compared to well-known RJ45 connections, the number of ports for the same device size can be doubled or a device can be designed that is significantly more compact.

In addition to the miniaturization and space savings that will become increasingly important in the future, the ix Industrial® interface from HARTING manufacturers and users one thing in particular: a reliable, high-performance, industrial-quality connector that paves the way to the future.

Main features:

  • 5000 connection cycles
  • Robust, metal lock
  • THR shield contacts
  • 360 degree shielding
  • Transmission up to 10 Gbit/sec
  • PoE/PoE+
  • 70% smaller device connection

Benefits for PROFINET users and manufacturers:

  • Reliable contact in case of shock and vibration
  • Fewer contact interruptions
  • Audible feedback during insertion signals secure locking
  • Simple, comfortable handling rules out accidental loosening
  • New miniaturization options
  • Secure transmission

Depending on the application, users can choose between a straight or angled exit. This means that even limited spaces in control cabinets do not cause any problems. To cater for demanding environments, the ix Industrial® interface will also be available in IP65/67-rated PushPull enclosures from this fall.

Renowned manufacturers in the measurement technology market reliably support the ix Industrial® standard with a range of measurement technology solutions.
