Automation and machinery Highly mechanised and automated industrial plants pose high requirements in terms of the power supply and the communication between the subsystems and with the system control centre. Increased demands are placed on the solutions deployed with regard to their insensitivity to dust and water, mechanical ruggedness, resistance to vibrations and insensitivity to a various types of fluids. In addition to fixed cabling systems, modern manufacturing and logistics systems call for flexibility of the data transmission, which, generally speaking, is possible with the aid of WLAN...

Automation and machinery Fields of use • Power supply • Measurement and control • Monitoring • Data transmission Service portfolio • Fiber-optic connectivity solutions and fiber management systems • Radio frequency cable assemblies, lightning protection components and antennas • Power supply and electrical data bus cables, cable systems Customer benefits • Integrated system solutions from a single supplier • Solutions in accordance with customer specifications • Satisfaction of high requirements such as fire, temperature range, etc. • Technical advice, consulting on product selection • Comprehensive...

Fiberoptic solutions The Ethernet communications protocol proven in the office sector migrated as universal Industrial Ethernet into the industrial sector, which satisfies all the requirements needed by industrial automation. Since high data rates, longer distances and insensitivity to electro-magnetic fields are increasingly called for, fiber-optic technology is constantly forging ahead into what have thus far been the domains of copper signalling cables. Fiber optic technology is ideally suited for setting up an end-to-end, efficient network in office and factory premises and constitutes a...

Overvoltage protection solutions Modern manufacturing and production facilities call for an extremely high degree of immunity against a whole range of environmental influences. In particular, these systems require a very high level of interference resistance with regard to electromagnetic immissions caused by lightning strikes, switching processes, etc. that are coupled into networks in a whole variety of ways. To maintain and ensure continuous operation, it is necessary to protect equipment and devices against overvoltages on feeder and connecting lines, both above and below ground, with suitable...

Automation and machinery Customer benefits • Increased system availability • Prevention of lost operating income • Enhanced reliability • Prevention of downtimes and process interruptions • Equipment protection • Personal protection 11

Wireless solutions A vast array of solutions for wireless communication is also increasingly being used in the industrial sector. In addition to popular WLAN technology, new technologies such as RFID and 60 GHz point-to-point connections are opening up entirely new possibilities. Unlike wired communication, it is possible to respond more flexibly to changing environmental conditions avoiding the need for costly cable installations. Besides stationary installations, mobile solutions (installation on vehicles) are also possible. HUBER+SUHNER draws on a wealth of experience in the development and...

Automation and machinery Customer benefits • Developed for harsh environments Vibration Steam/dust/water - Vandal-proof (impact-resistant) - Compact design - Simple and reliable installation - Secure data transmission 13

System cable solutions Industrial automation imposes maximum requirements with regard to performance and quality of the cables used.
