Intended Use for Industrial Ethernet

Industrial Ethernet is now well-established across all market segments, with differing requirements for protocols, environmental conditions, certifications, and standards. Weidmller's product range is engineered to meet these demands, ensuring high reliability, availability, and safeguarding against failure. Our STEADYTEC connector system ensures maximum reliability and simple operation. For the automotive industry, PROFINET and EtherNet/IP are preferred protocols, requiring robust components resistant to harsh environmental conditions, torsion, and high EMC demands. Our managed switches offer fast recovery times (<20 ms) for network failures. In general machine construction, seamless networking of machine segments and device parts is crucial. Weidmller's protocol converters protect investments in existing automation components. High-performance Gigabit switches and 10 Gigabit capable plug-in connectors handle increasing data volumes. Dragline cable-compatible connection cables and wireless modules provide flexible connectivity solutions.
