Technical Specifications

Intended Use for Industrial Ethernet

Industrial Ethernet is widely adopted across various market segments, including automotive, general machine construction, process industry, transportation, and energy. The requirements vary based on protocols, environmental conditions, certifications, and standards. Weidmller's product range addresses these needs with components designed for high reliability, availability, and safeguarding against failure. Key application scenarios include:

• Automotive: Robust and secure communication from the control layer to the robot, with a preference for PROFINET and EtherNet/IP. Components must withstand harsh environmental conditions, be torsion-resistant, and meet increased EMC demands. Managed switches with fast recovery times are crucial for preventing network failures.
• General Machine Construction: Networking machine segments, device parts, and connecting to higher-level office networks. Converting serial devices to Ethernet infrastructure to protect investments. High-performance Gigabit switches and plug-in connectors capable of 10 Gigabit transfer are used for increasing data volumes. Dragline cable-compatible cables and wireless modules are also utilized.
• Machinery: Ensuring a seamless flow of information for optimizing production cells. STEADYTEC technology in plug-in connectors provides reliable connection solutions. Active components with high-speed ring redundancy and redundant power supply guarantee uninterrupted operation. Power-over-Ethernet switches support monitoring cameras.
