Summary
70% smaller Ethernet interface offers miniaturisation potential for PROFINET users.
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 ix Industrial mating face for Ethernet transmission represents a key new component in the SPC "Specific Passive Components" section.
Consequently, manufacturers of PROFINET-compliant devices are now able to develop more compact devices on a secure and reliable basis and thereby save valuable installation space in the control cabinet. Given the 70% smaller ix Industrial device socket compared to known RJ45 connections, the number of ports can be doubled for the same device size or, conversely, a device can be designed that is significantly more compact.
In addition to the miniaturisation and space savings that will become increasingly vital in the future, the HARTING ix Industrial interface offers device manufacturers and users one thing in particular: A high-performance, reliable, and industrial-grade connector paving the way to the future.
Core properties:
- 5.000 mating cycles
- Robust metallic lock
- THR shield contacts
- 360 degree shielding
- Transmission up to 10Gbit/s
- PoE/PoE+
- 70% smaller device socket
- Reliable contact in case of shock and vibration
- Fewer contact interruptions
- Acoustic feedback during insertion signals secure locking
- Simple, convenient handling excludes accidental loosening
- New miniaturisation options
- Secure transmission
Measurement technology manufacturers established on the markets are reliably supporting the ix Industrial® standard with a wide range of measurement technology.
