Intended use for Industrial Ethernet

The trend to network industrial plant components using Ethernet protocols was already apparent several years ago. Ethernet communication is now well established in all market segments; including automotive, general machine construction, process industry, transportation and energy. The requirements of these differ in terms of protocols, environmental conditions, certifications and standards. As well as being a leading provider of industrial connection and network products, Weidmller embraces solutions for these differing requirements with a comprehensive and high-quality product range of active and passive components for Ethernet communications.

The basic requirements of these industrial markets are high reliability, availability and safeguarding against failure. These are met by extremely high MTBF times of our network components. Using Weidmllers high-quality STEADYTEC connector system means that maximum reliability and simple operation is ensured. Indeed, Weidmllers 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 for communication between machines and equipment parts, EtherNet/IP for new production plants, torsion-resistant cabling, increased EMC demands.
• General machine construction: Networking machine segments and device parts, connecting to higher-level office networks, connecting serial devices to Ethernet infrastructure, handling rising data volumes with Gigabit switches, EMC, shock, vibration and temperature resistance.
• Machinery: Seamless flow of information for production cells, monitoring robot activities, uninterrupted operation of production networks, Power-over-Ethernet for cameras.
