Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors


Profinet and its future is still to be told

September 2005 Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors

Lapp Cable has developed a range of cable branded Etherline as its latest in Fieldbus technology. This leader in the SA market offers a range of bus cables to suit all markets from Profibus to Interbus to Devicenet and AS-interface, among others.

Etherline is a recent addition to the range of existing products to suit both Profinet and Industrial Ethernet solutions. Available in 2-pair and 4-pair versions, the designs are based on what the industrial user needs for a performance solution. Dual screening has been added to this for a guaranteed EMC solution coupled with varied out compound solutions to suit individual needs. These would include halogen free, PVC, PUR - and even the widely used SWA version for harsh environments. Paired with connection plugs from its EPIC range, Lapp Cable can provide a total interconnect solution ensuring that the latest technology investments work the way they should.

After attending and participating in a recent well presented Profinet breakfast, Lapp Cable reports the latest in Profinet standards have now been revealed. Topics like ER400 chips for multiports and isochronous realtime chip sets were shown to be steps towards achieving the requirements. Lapp Cable offers the correct cable solutions that will ensure that this new technology is able to perform to its fullest potential.
