In 2020, the HARTING Technology Group will take the first step to present innovative, state-of-the-art solutions for purely digital Industry 4.0 and IIoT megatrends. The HARTING Experts Camp label renders a robust platform for customer dialog and communication. This offers an extensive range of product presentations, webinars, and expert talks. The HARTING management delivered a kick-off event of the extensive program in the near future.
Increasing data volumes coerce customized reliable industrial communication networks. Relevant, real-time data access results in faster, more flexible, and more efficient production. The HARTING Technology Group wants to develop an integrated communication architecture from the sensor to the cloud.
In the past, HARTING has crossed milestones for future-proof connectors that fulfill increasing needs and stability in challenges. HARTING converted the RJ45 into the RJ Industrial® and generated modular M12 interfaces with X-coding and PushPull locking. HARTING came up with the miniaturized ix Industrial® interface. This is 70 percent smaller than the RJ45 and more robust. It is a vital segment in the HARTING solution portfolio for its All for Ethernet segment. Overall, HARTING is bringing the compact and powerful Ethernet infrastructure for the future networked industry.
The investment of users is reassured with security. IEC 63171-6 has set the basis for future IIoT networks. It was published on January 23, 2020. This IEC 63171-6 interface is the standard for SPE in industrial applications as per the declarations of the international standards bodies ISO/IEC and TIA. Using this as a base, the dawn of a comprehensive portfolio for the Single Pair Ethernet market is about to happen.
The T1 Industrial interface is unique. The IP20 version exists in the market stock in-field assembly format (AWG 28-22) and an over moulded format (AWG 28-22)
In the previous year, the SPE Industrial Partner Network, a registered association, was established, which is a loose association of companies with shared gains. This community of partners is robust and legally binding. It offers security to implement a new physical layer. In this network, all companies are technology leaders in various domains and specialize to reinforce and complete the SPE ecosystem. They share the common work of the international standardization for SPE infrastructure in accordance with IEC 11801-x, IEEE 802.3, and IEC 63171-6. In only a few months, many robust partner companies from varied industrial production fields have supported IEC 63171-6 and joined this network.
HARTING in Han®S has offered a special connector for battery storage modules. Electricity storage systems have rising demand. The novel products fulfill the technical needs of the latest standards for stationary energy storage systems (including UL 4128) and render maximum security for the connected units
The single-pole connector solution with a 200A high-current contact can be easily identified by red and black color, intuitive locks, and mechanical coding. Han®Sprocesses large volumes and has quick, reliable contact of storage modules.
HARTING now offers interfaces customized to the Ethernet network sensors, machines, controllers, computers, and data centers as part of the miniaturized Han® 1A industrial connector series. The Han® 1A has two novel inserts for quick, safe data transmission. This is for the supply of end devices with up to 100 Mbit/s. Availability exists for Cat. 5 Fast Ethernet for Profinet-based communication; a 10 Gbit/s, Cat. 6A version for High-Speed Ethernet. This finds use in live camera system applications
All industry sectors need QA and monitoring through efficient imaging processes. New cameras have higher resolution and more compact dimensions. The new eCon 2000GX-I-A unmanaged Ethernet switches from HARTING is high-performance Gigabit switches for uniform networking of machine-monitoring and diagnostic systems through ix Industrial®.
Over the previous 75 years, HARTING has been frequently setting standards for new industrial interfaces. The latest trend is DC power transmission where demand might sharply rise. HARTING promotes technology concepts for increased personal and plant protection. A new connector for industrial applications cannot be removed when under load and transmits up to 40 Ampere current and voltages up to 800 Volts. HARTING also works for the German Commission for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies (DKE) to draft new standards. This involves cooperation with the SmartFactory KL.
HARTING drives new technology development while establishing optimal connections between the software solutions and the field-level solutions in cloud and edge computing.
At this interface, HARTING RFID solutions, digital twin, and the MICA® edge computing gateway operate. Rising significance is witnessed of intelligent sensor technology solutions to ensure seamless data exchange among networks.
In November 2019, at Nuremberg, HARTING announced at the SPS trade fair the partnership with PerFact. This is to be extended to the software. Per Fact provides IT solutions by customized modules for servicing, maintenance, logistics, and process management.
“The industrial arena is undergoing far-reaching change: For HARTING, this transformation means leveraging our key technologies and entering into targeted partnerships in order to pool skills and competencies capable of creating new solutions within the framework of our entire technology network,” explained Philip Harting, CEO HARTING Technology Group. “Our ultimate goal here is to develop these solutions in larger contexts and create ecosystems that generate significant added value for our customers.”
