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.
