Harting Delivers the Design for the Next Generation of Connectors

HARTING is driving the development of the standardisation of the new Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) technology forward. Now, in a multi-stage selection process, international standardisation committees have decided in favour of the Technology Group’s SPE mating face. “We’re pleased with this decision. This also ensures planning security for the developers of new devices or sensor/actuator technology,” as Ralf Klein, Managing Director of HARTING Electronics stated.

Single Pair Ethernet is a new Ethernet technology that requires only one pair of wires (instead of four pairs) to transfer data and power. This technology, which is driven by the automotive industry, is also gaining increasing importance in automation technology, where its development is advancing in targeted manner. Thanks to its simplicity and an associated reduction in weight, space requirements and installation effort, a great future is seen for the technology within the industrial sector, automation technology and the rail industry, among others.

SPE now makes it also possible to implement digitisation down to the field level, i.e. end-to-end IP-based communication. Equipping simple sensors or cameras, reader and identification devices, etc. with Ethernet interfaces supports the implementation of Integrated Industry and IIoT.

End-to-end compatibility of devices, cables and connectors

The end-to-end compatibility of devices, cables and connectors is a prerequisite for the widespread use and consequently the successful marketing of SPE technology. This is ensured by international standardisation (ISO/IEC and IEEE). Since the beginning of the year, there has been an internationally drafted selection process for the cabling and selection of standard SPE mating faces via ISO/IEC involving more than 20 national expert committees. As a result of this selection, two mating faces have prevailed:

  • For building wiring, the mating face according to IEC 63171-1: this mating face is based on the proposal from CommScope
  • For industrial and industry-related applications, the mating face according to IEC 61076-3-125: this mating face is based on the HARTING proposal

Based on this mating face, HARTING is preparing a comprehensive product portfolio for the industrial sector. The technology had been driven forward in the past two years in close cooperation with customers. SPE connector concepts from HARTING were initially presented at SPS 2016 in Nuremberg.

Leuze: 5B Sensor Series for Cost-Effective Presence Control

Sensors for presence control in intralogistics, packaging processes or the automotive industry often have to fulfill several requirements: they need to detect objects reliably, they must be easy to install and, above all, must be cost-effective. This is why Leuze has developed the new 5B sensor series. They convince with their flexible handling and offer high level of cost effectiveness. These are often decisive arguments in cases where a system requires a large number of sensors.

Carlo Gavazzi: Self-Learning RSGT Series 3-Phase Soft Starters for Motors up to 75Hp / 55kW

Carlo Gavazzi is excited to introduce the new RSGT Series Soft Starters, an easy-to-use product range for AC 3-phase induction motors up to 75Hp / 55kW. To maximize the ease of use without compromising performance, only three settings are required (FLC, ramp-up, ramp-down). The self-learning algorithm adjusts the soft starter’s parameters to work with different applications and varying load conditions. The integration of a Class 10 electronic overload provides advanced motor protection and results in further space savings in the electrical panel. Phase sequence protection, overload function, and dry run function can easily be enabled or disabled through the front located TEST/RESET push button.

ADVANCED Motion Controls Takes Servo Drives to New Heights (and Depths) with FlexPro Extended Environment Product Line

Advanced Motion Controls is proud to announce the addition of six new CANopen servo drives with Extended Environment capabilities to their FlexPro line. These new drives join AMC’s existing EtherCAT Extended Environment FlexPro drives, making the FlexPro line the go-to solution for motion control applications in harsh environments.

Many motion control applications take place in conditions that are less than ideal, such as extreme temperatures, high and low pressures, shocks and vibrations, and contamination. Electronics, including servo drives, can malfunction or sustain permanent damage in these conditions.
