PNO Specifies HARTING ix Industrial as New PROFINET Interface

June 29, 2021

Recently, 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:

  •    –   000 mating cycles
  •    –   Robust metallic lock
  •    –   THR shield contacts
  •    –   360 degree shielding
  •    –   Transmission up to 10Gbit/s
  •    –   PoE/PoE+
  •    –   70% smaller device socket

Benefits for PROFINET users and manufacturers:

  •    –   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

Depending on the application, users can choose between a straight or an angled cable outlet. This means that even tight spaces in control cabinets will not present any problems. Catering to demanding environments, the ix Industrial interface will also be available in IP65/67 protected PushPull housings as from the autumn.

Measurement technology manufacturers established on the markets are reliably supporting the ix Industrial standard with a wide range of measurement technology.
