Intended use for Industrial Ethernet: The trend to network industrial plant components using Ethernet protocols is well established in all market segments, including automotive, general machine construction, process industry, transportation and energy. Requirements differ in terms of protocols, environmental conditions, certifications and standards. Weidmller offers a comprehensive and high-quality product range of active and passive components for Ethernet communications to meet these differing requirements.

Basic Requirements: High reliability, availability, and safeguarding against failure are met by extremely high MTBF times of network components. Weidmller's STEADYTEC connector system ensures maximum reliability and simple operation. Weidmller's network components create a complete communications infrastructure for industrial applications in machine construction, process and plant engineering, and energy.

Application Scenarios

Automotive: Robust and secure communication from the control layer to the robot. PROFINET is preferred for communication between machines and equipment. Real-time Ethernet protocol EtherNet/IP is used in North American car production. High requirements for components due to harsh environmental conditions (e.g., industrial robotics), requiring torsion-resistant cabling, increased EMC demands, and fast recovery time (< 20 ms) for network components.

General machine construction: High-performance solutions, simply integrated. Networking machine segments and device parts, connecting to higher-level office networks. Serial devices are connected to Ethernet infrastructure via protocol converters. High-performance Gigabit switches and plug-in connectors capable of 10 Gigabit transfer meet rising data volumes. Extensive plug-in connector range meets demands for EMC, shock, vibration, and temperature resistance. Dragline cable-compatible connection cables for moving parts. Wireless modules for hard-to-reach areas.

Machinery: Seamless flow of information to optimize output and efficiency of production cells. Monitoring robot activities. Comprehensive Industrial Ethernet product portfolio from field to control level. STEADYTEC technology for reliable and standardized connection solutions. High-speed ring redundancy and redundant power supply for uninterrupted operation. Extensive network management functions. Power-over-Ethernet switches supply operating voltage to cameras.
