OTS - HARTING: A powerful partner for Industry 4.0 and IIoT (part 1)
2020. May 06. 10:30
Espelkamp, 6 May, 2020 (APA/OTS) - HARTING T1 Industrial available
ex stock / All infrastructure components for IIoT networks / SPE
Industrial Partner Network expands to 20 members - Extraordinary
times call for new methods of communication: In 2020, the HARTING
Technology Group will - for the first time - be presenting
innovative and state-of-the-art products and solutions for the
Industry 4.0 and IIoT megatrends in purely digital form. Under the
HARTING Experts Camp lable, the connectivity specialist is now
offering a powerful platform to facilitate customer dialogue and
communication. The platform will feature a wide range of product
presentations, webinars, expert talks and much more. In a kick-off
event the extensive program for the upcoming months was presented
by the HARTING Management.
"The industrial arena is undergoing far-reaching change: For
HARTING, this transformation means leveraging our key technologies
and entering into targeted partnerships in order to pool skills and
competencies capable of creating new solutions within the framework
of our entire technology network," explained Philip Harting, CEO
HARTING Technology Group. "Our ultimate goal here is to develop
these solutions in larger contexts and create ecosystems that
generate significant added value for our customers."
Consistent communication architecture
Against the background of rising data volumes, companies need
reliable industrial communication networks that are tailored to
their specific requirements. Being able to access all relevant data
in real time ensures significantly faster, more flexible and more
efficient production processes. The HARTING Technology Group is
seeking to make a decisive contribution to developing an integrated
communication architecture, from the sensor to the cloud.
Small Ethernet infrastructures key for the networked industry
For many years, HARTING has been seting milestones for
future-proof connectors that meet these rising requirements,
particularly with regard to their stability in challenging
environments. HARTING turned the RJ45 into the RJ Industrial®,
created modular M12 interfaces with X-coding and PushPull locking,
and set the next major milestone in Industrial Ethernet with the
miniaturized ix Industrial® interface - which is 70% smaller than
an RJ45, yet significantly more robust. ix Industrial® is one of
the most important components in the HARTING solution portfolio for
its All for Ethernet segment. A compact and powerful Ethernet
infrastructure is the key to the networked industry of tomorrow!

Industrial standard interface for SPE T1 Industrial available
ex stock
Users can now make investments with a reassuring measure of
security: IEC 63171-6, published on 23 January 2020, sets the basis
for future IIoT networks. The international standards bodies
ISO/IEC and TIA have declared the IEC 63171-6 interface as the
standard for SPE in industrial applications. On this foundation, a
comprehensive portfolio for the Single Pair Ethernet market is now
emerging.
The T1 Industrial interface is the first of its kind. The IP20
version is now available ex stock in field assembly format (AWG
28-22) and an overmoulded format (AWG 28-22).
SPE Industrial Partner Network grows to 20 members
Last year saw the foundation of the SPE Industrial Partner
Network. As a registered association, the Network is more than just
a loose association of companies with shared interests - it is a
strong, legally binding community of partners. Consequently, it
provides the security required to implement this new physical
layer. All the companies in the network are technology leaders in
their own right; between them, they specialise in the various
fields needed to strengthen and complete the SPE ecosystem. The
common, unifying basis of their work is the international
standardisation for SPE infrastructure in accordance with IEC
11801-x, IEEE 802.3 and IEC 63171-6. In the space of just a few
months, numerous strong partner companies from various fields of
industrial production have expressed their support for IEC 63171-6
and joined the SPE Industrial Partner Network

Han® S: Safe contacting of modular energy storage systems
In Han® S, HARTING is - for the first time - introducing a
special connector for battery storage modules. Global demand for
electricity storage systems is booming. The new series meets the
technical requirements of the latest standards for stationary
energy storage systems (including UL 4128) and offers users optimum
safety for the connected units. The single-pole connector solution
with a 200A high-current contact is mechanically coded, is coloured
red and black for easy identification, and locks intuitively. In
this way, Han® S enables fast, reliable contacting of storage
modules and enables the processing of large volumes.
Han® 1A: Miniaturised rectangular connector ideal for networking
The Ethernet networks sensors, machines, controllers, computers
and data centres. HARTING is now offering interfaces tailored to
these applications as part of the miniaturized Han® 1A industrial
connector series.
The Han® 1A features two new inserts for fast and secure data
transmission. This can be used to supply end devices with up to 100
Mbit/s Cat. 5 Fast Ethernet for Profinet-based communication; a 10
Gbit/s, Cat. 6A version for High-Speed Ethernet is also available.
The latter is used for live camera system applications.(continues)
