HARTING is providing the connectivity to master these challenges - Connectivity for Future Technologies! In the field of automation, the three trends of digital twin, connectivity and modularity will drive further development significantly. Machines and systems will become more autonomous - and will increasingly be making more independent decisions in future.
Modularisation in mechanical engineering entails
many advantages, not only for manufacturers but also for users. Thanks to
modularisation, they benefit from cost-optimised products that are precisely
tailored to their requirements, while transparently designed at the same time.
HARTING’s Han-Modular® series is providing expedient solutions for all
interfaces required in modern control, drive, HMI and communication technology
for production systems. They are making power, data and signal transmission
future-proof. Thanks to such solutions, modularisation can be further advanced
without functional restrictions.
Easy upgrade existing systems
The Han® 300 A module is precisely one such modularisation driver, which
HARTING has launched this year. It is reverse compatible with the proven 200 A
module and can therefore also be plugged onto this module whereby the lower
rated power is then available. As a result, existing systems can be easily
upgraded. The new module is designed in such a way that both direct connections
to a busbar and installations in slide-in systems are readily possible. The
market requirement for the module to be touch-proof on both the socket and pin
sides is also met.
10 Gbps ethernet in modular connectors
The demand for higher transmission rates is driving
the continuous development of data interfaces. This not only applies to office
area, but also to the industrial arena, where the advantages of modular
interfaces are especially relevant. All common bus systems can be easily
adapted, including Profibus, Profinet, CAN, Ethernet Cat. 5, Cat. 6A and Cat.
7A.
With the M12 module, there is now an additional option of integrating 0
Gbit/s Ethernet into modular connectors. The module enables significant space
savings: two D- or X-coded M12 connectors fit into a single module. By
comparison with conventional RJ45 solutions, the M12 system is more robust and
offers even greater operational reliability.
Interface for shielded cables
The new Han® Shielded Power Module offers three
power contacts and one PE contact for connecting typical three-phase loads. In
addition, there are two signal contacts for temperature monitoring, brakes or
similar elements, as well as a generously dimensioned shield transition, which
enables EMC-compliant connection of the cable shield directly to the module.
This provides an alternative to the fixed wiring of shielded power cables,
while at the same time allowing such connections to be made in a common housing
alongside other modules of the Han-Modular® series.
Shielded power module for frequency converters
HARTING has tested the module in the EMC laboratory
in practical applications: The EMC properties of the shielding transition in
the Han® Shielded Power Module are entirely sufficient for typical drive
applications, such as frequency-controlled three-phase motors or other loads.
It allows the pluggable design of shielded power cables, is easy to handle,
while enabling direct shield connection to the module. This results in reduced
installation times for machines and systems, in the factory or at the end
customer.
Moreover, the series is supplemented by an
EMC-protected module for signal transmission. With a generously dimension
shield transition and an additional 360° shielding plate, this module not only
ensures good shielding, but also enables impressive transmission options in a
compact space: up to 27 shielded D-Sub contacts up to 4A / 32V can be plugged
in. Under the name Han® Shielded Modul
Han® S: Construction of energy storage systems
In addition to new products for mechanical
engineering, HARTING will also be presenting new products for the energy market
at SPS 2020: powerful, easy-to-handle connectors enable efficient construction
of energy storage systems. With Han® S, HARTING is now offering for the first
time a connector solution for front mounting of energy storage modules. The new
series ensures optimum safety levels, as the design meets all technical
requirements and the latest UL 4128 standard for stationary energy storage
systems. The single-pole connectors can transmit rated currents up to 200 A
with a voltage of 1500 V. Han S® ensures safe installations thanks to the
touch-proof contacts with different connection types (M8 screw or busbar). The
locking status is always visible and easy to check. Moreover, the HARTING
product is vibration-proof and available in two different colours: red (+) and
black (-). The coding is mechanical, thereby preventing incorrect connections
of polarity.
Expansion of ix Industrial® portfolioÂÂ
With the clearly stated mission to offer a smaller, more robust and powerful alternative to conventional Ethernet connectors, HARTING has entered the Ethernet connector market with the ix Industrial®. In order to meet the relevant demands, the ix Industrial® portfolio will be successively expanded and extended by all the necessary variants to achieve these aims and objectives.
The ecosystem of various companies and suppliers
revolving around SPE technology and the IEC 63171-6 standard initiated by
HARTING is growing rapidly. The SPE Industrial Partner Network e.V. currently
comprises some 37 members, and their number is increasing every week. With the
T1 Industrial Interface HARTING is providing the connectivity foundation for
SPE connections in future IIoT networks. SPE is taking Ethernet all the way
through to the field level. Only one protocol, a uniform infrastructure and
reduced implementation times are just a few of the advantages of single-pair
cabling.ÂÂ
The SPE Pioneer Summit 2020 took place on 3 and 4
November. Top-class keynote speakers and panel discussions clearly showed that
now is the right time to invest in SPE technology. Subsequently, 18 Network
experts took the seminar participants on a guided tour of all the details and
aspects of the SPE ecosystem.ÂÂ
Frank Welzel, Head of Global Product Management HARTING Electronics and Chairman of the SPE Industrial Partner Network e.V., was also at hand and announced the important cooperation with the AMA.
The reduction of assembly time is one of the most important savings potentials in automation plant construction. HARTING has also thought one step ahead for users in the area of existing, set interface concepts and with the RJ Industrial® Multifeature 10 Gbit, is offering an industrial grade RJ45 with an integrated wire cutter.
In the autumn of 2020, the PCB Connectivity sector will be taking centre stage. With the introduction of the har-modular®, HARTING is presenting an absolute world first for the connection of PCBs. A modular concept based on the reliable DIN 41612 strips, but modularly configurable as from batch size 1. Modularity is thereby completely redefined for design-in devices. With the online configurator, it is possible to select from a trillion possible combinations and thereby always arrive at the ideal solution, even for small series and prototypes. This represents an enormous simplification of work and time savings on the way to the finished product. True to the claim of CREATE YOUR OWN, users can choose from any number of contacts for power, signals and data. Where several connectors used to be necessary, har-modular® combines all the desired lifelines in one single connection.
The flexible portfolio revolving around the
miniaturised PCB connector har-flex® in 1.27mm pitch is extended by power
variants for even greater scope of freedom and also includes hybrid solutions
combining power and signals. This combination eliminates the use of separate
power and signal connectors on the board. Both lifelines are thereby combined
in a single space-saving connection.
The power variants also reduce the space required for power transmission as opposed to conventional, previous solutions. Here, users have often taken the path of conducting power via several signal contacts connected in parallel. Naturally, this results in a higher number of contacts, which accordingly require more space. With the har-flex® Power, this power can now be transmitted over approximately half the required surface area. Consequently, har-flex® variants are once again making vital contributions to the miniaturisation megatrend.
