The new trio for Industrie 4.0 lifelines
February 2016
Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors
At last year’s SPS IPC Drives trade fair in Nuremberg, the Harting Technology Group presented its three latest innovations: the M12 Power, the PushPull Signal and a new preLink module, for Industrie 4.0’s lifelines: power, signal and data. This trio operates in accordance with approaches for the industry of tomorrow and the miniaturisation and modularisation trends.
With 63 V and 16 A, the M12 Power with L coding offers enough power for energy-hungry applications and will allow customers to dispense with 7/8” solutions in the future as well. Consequently, field distributors and other applications can be uniformly equipped with M12 interfaces – saving space and money in housing construction. This step is supported by the PNO Profibus User Organization, which has named M12 Power as the new standard power device connection.
The PushPull Signal featuring the new 20-pole design takes the same clear step towards miniaturisation. It offers twice as many contacts in the same space as previous signal connectors, which translates as a unique position on the market. More and more sensors and actuators have to be connected in the field, while at the same time, field devices have to become more and more compact. The PushPull Signal masters this balancing act with high contact density, IP65/67 protection and a simple and fast locking mechanism.
The modular preLink system for Ethernet applications up to 10 Gigabit rounds out the trio. It is the first to separate the previously permanent connection of cable and connector into two modular units comprising a cable and connector that can be recombined any number of times. At SPS, Harting presented a new preLink RJ45 module for well-known Han 3 A industrial connectors, thereby completing the modular preLink family.
