Industrial Networks..Making a Connection
 
The evolution paths of network systems for local area networks and plant automation systems for factory work cells have been separate, and until recently, very different. The two areas have utilized diverse protocols and media to transmit information, making integration complex or virtually impossible. The advent of an Industrial Ethernet/IP Network solution has bridged the gap, making communication between departments faster, more efficient and more cost effective.
 
The Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA) standard and TIA draft standard for sealed Ethernet/IP connectivity and cable have made it easy to extend the benefits of a high-speed data network onto the factory floor. Design and materials information, as well as other Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) processes, can be managed more smoothly using a single platform and support infrastructure.
 
It’s a Dirty Job….
 
Specifying an Industrial Ethernet network involves the selection of a system that can protect critical control data from the demands of the harsh industrial environment, namely: high vibration, high temperatures, humidity, dust, debris, wash-down, abrasive chemicals, weather, impact, spark, induced voltages, and many other s. Normal networking equipment can not be used in these conditions, as they would quickly become contaminated or damaged. Sealed or hardened versions should be utilized. The ODVA standard specifies the requirements for a sealed RJ45 connector, rated to IP67 that will withstand these harsh conditions.

PANDUIT®, a leader in global network cabling and management systems, has introduced a new line of high performance, sealed RJ45 connectors, which exceed the ODVA and draft TIA standards. PANDUIT Industrial TX™ Connector s and discrete patch cords have been specifically designed to meet the demands of this environment;
 
• IP 67 Sealed Industrial Ethernet Connector
• Meets TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 Category 5e Standard
• Shielded and unshielded versions available
• Utilizes PANDUIT patented GIGA-TX™ technique for consistent, reliable terminations
• Assembly has features that eliminate the potential for module rotation caused by vibration
• Gasket and seal made of inert, chemically resistant material
• Connector components are made of high temperature rated material
• Tethered caps maintain IP67 seal during dormant connection
• Meets the specifications of the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA) for Sealed Ethernet/IP RJ45 connections
 
Industrial TX™ Connectors and patch cords are part of the new INDUSTRIALNET™ product line for industrial network applications. Along with PANDUIT standard Network and Electrical components, the INDUSTRIALNET™ product range provides a fully integrated solution for all your network cabling and wire management needs;
 
To ensure smooth integration of the INDUSTRIALNET™ solution with other essential equipment found on the plant floor PANDUIT has partnered with other technology leaders to address the network, cabling infrastructure, management, automation control and power services considerations surrounding Industrial Ethernet.
As part of the PANDUIT Architecture for Converged Technologies (PACT) program these unified infrastructure systems are pre-tested for interoperability to provide best-in-class, proven networks, which are easier and less costly to implement.
