Intended Use for Industrial Ethernet

Industrial Ethernet is established in all market segments, with differing requirements for protocols, environmental conditions, certifications, and standards. Weidmller's products meet these requirements with high reliability, availability, and safeguarding against failure, supported by high MTBF times and the STEADYTEC connector system for maximum reliability and simple operation. The solutions create a complete communications infrastructure for industrial applications.

Automotive

In the automotive industry, PROFINET is preferred for communication between machines and equipment. Industrial Ethernet is used homogeneously from corporate management to production. EtherNet/IP is used in North American car production. Requirements include robust and secure components, torsion-resistant cabling, and increased EMC demands. Weidmller offers copper and fibre-optic connectors, passive hand-tools, and managed switches with fast recovery times for network failure prevention.

General Machine Construction

In general machine construction, networking machine segments, device parts, and connecting to higher-level office networks are key. Serial devices are integrated into the Ethernet infrastructure using protocol converters to protect investments. The rising data volume is handled by high-performance Gigabit switches and 10 Gigabit transfer-capable plug-in connectors. The extensive plug-in connector range meets demands for EMC, shock, vibration, and temperature resistance, facilitating easy on-site assembly. Dragline cable-compatible connection cables and wireless modules are also available.

Machinery - In Detail

Seamless information flow is crucial for optimizing production cells. Weidmller's Industrial Ethernet product portfolio, from field to control level, offers reliable and standardized connection solutions with STEADYTEC technology. Active components ensure uninterrupted operation with high-speed ring redundancy and redundant power supply. Network management functions handle data traffic, and Power-over-Ethernet switches supply operating voltage to cameras.
