Dear customers and business partners,
You may still remember: Steve Jobs, the
founder and then CEO of Apple present-
ed the iPhone to the general public on
January 9, 2007. The triumphant march
that followed was absolutely unprec-
edented. But let us take a closer look
at this revolution. Why did the iPhone
take the existing market for mobile tele-
phones by storm? Do you have a simple
answer to this question? Indeed, is there
a concrete answer at all?
For many, the success of the iPhone lies
in the convenient use of the Internet.
Apple’s mobile phone is always a part
of the network and thereby its users
too. Another noteworthy aspect was
the - for the time – generous and clearly
designed multi-touch screen. Network
connections were forged via Quadband,
Bluetooth and WLAN, while the device
also offered sensor based features: loca-
tion and brightness detection, as well as
a high performance camera. In the final
instance, these are all just details – in
actual fact, there is no one, single, dis-
tinctly differentiating feature.
In the year 2007 there were other mobile
phones that were already offering Inter-
net access, while some of the competi-
tors featured higher performing cameras
than what the iPhone had to offer. Does
the key to success lie in the idea of apps
that shifted local services to the cloud?
Certainly, this was an absolute novelty –
which was, however, already finding use
outside of the telephony market. More-
over, the iPhone embarked on its trium-
phal march before iTunes was launched,
which still leaves the question as to what
actually triggered the revolution of the
market?
It was not a one, single and distinct tech-
nical function – but the combination of
all the features and capabilities that are
necessary to create a device that enables
users to communicate conveniently at all
times. Or to put it in more general terms:
a device that leads its users easily and
comfortably into the cyber world. The
mobile telephone – and thereby its us-
ers – had emancipated themselves.
In the latest issue of our tec.News we
invite you to come and join us in ad-
dressing precisely such concepts and
ideas. We are committed to finding the
answers as to how conventional indus-
trial devices will become devices that
operate readily and simply in the cyber
world. Here, the issue is also the integra-
tion of functions – the right IT functions
– so that we will benefit from the fully
fledged emancipation of field devices.
I hope you will enjoy reading our latest
issue of tec.News.
Yours sincerely,

Senior Vice President Connectivity Networks

The convenient and user friendly entrance to the cyber world - an important
step for industrial devices that will determine the manufacturing and automa-
tion of the future. Thanks to the integration of IT functions into conventional
industrial devices, the standard automation technology to date will emancipate
itself, and pave the way to digital networking and tighter integration.

Real automation data, which provides an objective view of
the manufacturing processes and which is the basis for every
optimization, is only available at field level. All the higher-lev-
el layers of the traditional automation pyramid only consoli-
date the field-level data and, in doing so, very often destroy
its chronological order. As a result, it loses any relationship to
the actual process, which is necessary, for example, to observe
critical conditions as part of a status-oriented maintenance
program or for efficiency optimization. In order to manage data
traffic at different communication levels, the data must be in a
pre-processed form. For Integrated Industry to be successful, it
is of key importance that it moves forward into the field level.
With the introduction of field bus systems, the recording of
sensor data was thereby decentralized when sensor-actor box-
es with a field bus connection were shifted into the field. A
central control system then queries these boxes periodically.
Knowledge of the significance of the sensor data is stored in
the PLC. As a rule, the sensor is not intelligent – it merely
measures. Communication allows exchange of a digital or ana-
logue value. Therefore, analysis of this data is only meaningful
for the control system. Integration in the management level
is difficult to achieve. The traditional field bus rules have not
changed at all with the introduction of Ethernet as the physical
layer for the field bus.
Inclusion of the field level in a fully Integrated Industry only
works on the basis of standards. If one considers the volume
of Internet-enabled communications devices available today
and relates it to automation devices, automation devices make
up less than one percent of all devices. Therefore, new fully
integrated automation devices must be compatible with the
existing IT standards on which the remaining 99 percent of
(non-automation-relevant) devices are based. Emancipation for
field devices will be achieved when they are completely and
equally integrated in the Internet environment.
However, this is not sufficient for automation devices because
more industry-specific requirements must also be fulfilled and
they too must be standardized.
For Integrated Industry to be successful,
it is of key importance that it moves
forward into the field level.

Emancipation
of field devices
Automation technology and industrial IT are the key technologies in the concept of Integrated Industry. However, only
when the field level is included will the benefits claimed for it materialize. HARTING is well-equipped for this develop-
ment with flexible solutions which are consistently based on IT standards.
Integrated Industry –

Therefore, new field devices are required for integration
in the Internet environment, which act not only as slaves
of industrial control systems, but also themselves become
masters. This also changes communication with them from
the IT level. It must not be only possible via gateways. And
this is what makes the new field device capable of more
than its predecessor. The foundations for this have already
been laid with the decentralization and modularization of
field devices, with high performance computing available in
very small spaces and the integration of relevant services.
With powerful and compact electronic modules, field devices
can pre-process and interpret the information accordingly
without overloading the infrastructure with the quantities
of data that arise. It is not necessary to provide regular
information about a system which is working correctly. In-
formation about a deviation from the target specifications is
much more important. Only the fog computing approach and
the use of intelligent field devices allow constant monitoring
that will not overload the infrastructure with the quantities
of data that arise.
CONSIDERATIONS FOR HARTING'S SOLUTIONS RESULTING
FROM THE ABOVE DISCUSSION:
To break new ground, Integrated Industry must be consistent
in its use of standard IT technology. This simplifies integration
in IT business applications.
The use of field devices in automated environments requires
functionalities that extend beyond compatibility with IT stan-
dards.
Inclusion of the field level in a fully
Integrated Industry only works on
the basis of standards.

The various requirements in terms of the sensors and ac-
tuators used necessitate a flexible and modular structure.
Consistent use of open IT standards is thus crucial.
The result for customers is a new Integrated Industry device
that can be integrated easily in IT applications such as ERP
and MES. Furthermore, all the state-of-the-art interfaces to the
Smart Object will be provided. The new Integrated Industry
device will thereby forge a link between the object and the
cyberworld and consequently act as the central component
taking the form of a cyber-physical system.

CPS 4.0 –
Field devices of
the next generation
In connection with “Industrie 4.0”, the
Internet of Things and Services is en-
tering the next generation of factories.
In this process, conventional field de-
vices are being incrementally replaced
by cyber-physical systems (CPS). These
CPS are interconnected via real-time
Ethernet or wireless IP protocols. Smart
Factories deploy CPS that integrate a
multitude of individual components: in
addition to sensors and actuators, this
includes a processor, memory, a wireless
module and positioning modules, as well
as a power supply that is as autonomous
as possible.
Such multifunctional CPS 4.0 must be
highly reliable, energy efficient and of-
fer favorable costs, as thousands of such
decentral systems form the nervous
system of Smart Factories in “Industrie
4.0”. And just on time, the Hannover
Messe 2015 marks the 50th anniver-
sary of Gordon Moore's rule of thumb
In Industrie 4.0 conventional field devices will be replaced by thousands of cyber-physical
systems. In their role as intelligent agents in the Internet of Things, they form the nervous
system of a Smart Factory.

(frequently referred to as Moore's Law)
concerning the performance doubling
of microelectronics every 18 months, in
connection with dynamically declining
costs. Viewed in this light, continued,
exponential performance gains of CPS
4.0 can be assumed up to the year 2020
at least.
This will enable expanding each individ-
ual CPS as an intelligent agent. These
agents will record and analyze their envi-
ronment by way of its sensors, plan their
activities dynamically based on pre-de-
fined task profiles, while being capable
of recognizing attacks on their safety and
taking timely defense action. By way of
the Internet of Things and Services, CPS
4.0 are able to form ad-hoc coalitions in
order to deal with complex tasks as a
team. As several CPS can also aggregate
to create larger CPS units, a fractal struc-
ture of holons arises which, as “system-of-
systems-of-systems” can be combined to
form a Smart Factory for “Industrie 4.0”
that is networked on all levels.
In this context, the networking and inte-
gration on the purely technical level for
exchanging bits and bytes does not cre-
ate any added value: it is only when the
networked CPS 4.0 also understand the
exchanged messages in terms of content
that innovative factory functions such
as PlugProduce and real-time anomaly
recognition are enabled. With the help
of relations such as “subconcept of” or
“opposite of” complex networks of terms
and concepts are incrementally built
up - so-called ontologies. Semantic ar-
tificial intelligence technologies bridge
the gap between the technical language
of IT and the languages of automation
technology and their users, as they allow
different systems of concepts and terms
to be translated into one another without
loss of meaning.
Innovative software systems, howev-
er, are the essential precondition en-
abling the intelligent behavior of CPS
4.0. Therefore, in future, app stores and
cloud access will be available that will
serve to constantly update software-de-
fined factory platforms based on
networked CPS as the foundation of
“Industrie 4.0”.
By way of the Internet of Things and Services, CPS 4.0
converge as coalitions in order to deal with complex tasks
as a team.
IN BRIEF
• CPS 4.0 transforms field
devices into intelligent agents
in the Smart Factory.
• In Industrie 4.0, networked
CPS field devices make
PlugProduce possible.
• Semantic M2M communication
is the key to de-
centralized pro-
duction control.

the user application such as RFID. Even
in connection with small unit volumes,
it is possible for an optimized device to
be used economically.
The virtualization technology is also
innovative, a new feature in embedded
systems and makes consistent use of the
latest technology. This is the best way
to encapsulate applications and services
in the form of separate virtual entities.
They do not interfere with each other
and our customers can develop their own
applications with a minimum of system
dependency very easily and convenient-
ly and roll them out on the platform.

Realizing the vision of Integrated
Industry requires an innovative computer
platform that can easily be integrated
anywhere in a system and is also flexible,
simple and reasonably priced. The new
HARTING product platform represents
the entry ticket to Integrated Industry. It
offers pre-fabricated hardware and soft-
ware components supporting the integra-
tion of sensors, actors and machines in
the Internet of Things. The platform can
also be adapted for special functions with
a minimum of input. A community will
come together around the product plat-
form that will – similar to an app store –
offer customers and partners the opportu-
nity to communicate with each other and
offer their solutions to others.
This is enabled by consistently modular,
open and secure architecture, which
like the smartphone several years ago,
creates new and previously unimagined
opportunities.

It goes without saying that the HARTING
platform meets internationally recog-
nized standards like for example LLRP,
ALE 1.1 and OPC-UA. Products based
on the platform can easily be used and
adapted by customers and system inte-
grators.
The modularity at hardware and soft-
ware level offers customers many dif-
ferent ways in which to combine their
own designs with those provided by
HARTING and thereby create multiple
product variants. The newly created
solutions can then also be made avail-
able to others in an approach similar to
that of an app store.

IT security is a key element in Integrated
Industry. Security begins at hardware
level with a TPM chip allowing reliable
remote authentication of the device.
Commonly adopted open source stan-
dards ensure secure communication that
is supported by a very large community.
User privileges are assigned on a role

Transparent production
with computing power and sensors
Improvements in product quality and production efficiency and early detection of sources of error and malfunctions
require large quantities of data from the production process. HARTING has developed a universal integrated
framework to obtain this data. It uses predictive analytics technology from data acquisition in the sensor through to
the analysis in the ERP system.

gether, which is aided by standards and
abstractions such as those provided by
OPC-UA and IO-Link. This allows, for
example, operation via plug and play or
simplifies the identification of sensors
with RFID. The level of automation can
also be increased if semantic description
concepts such as W3C Semantic Sensor
Network Ontology are used.
However, the major challenge on the
path toward the future Industrie 4.0
comes in the phase after the data has en-
tered the processing system where it is
not only necessary to synchronize data
from different sources, but also to inter-
pret it meaningfully. Methods drawn
from statistics, machine learning and
data mining are used here. At the same
time, there is growing understanding
that security issues such as confiden-
tiality, availability and integrity must
be taken into account with any central
or decentralized processing, storage or
communication of data. This applies par-
ticularly to processing in the Cloud.
HARTING now supports both small and
medium-sized companies with hardware
such as its RFID products and the new
modular embedded M2M platform, and
The Industrie 4.0 strategy requires the
acquisition of rising data volumes and
the increasingly intelligent analysis of
growing quantities of data. This is the
only way to make processes more effi-
cient and more flexible - and cannot be
implemented without intelligent sensors
and measuring technology. The process
data represents the key to a more thor-
ough understanding of production, to
preventative maintenance and to more
flexible production. This data helps to
reveal connections, anticipate system
behavior and ensure continuous optimi-
zation.
Sensor manufacturers are responding
to this trend with miniaturization, local
data processing and increasing integra-
tion. New developments such as ener-
gy-independent sensors and not least
falling prices allow data to be read that
could not have been read to date, or only
at unjustifiable expense. Furthermore,
many sensors must be networked to-
with software through customer-specif-
ic system integration projects on every
level of the automation pyramid, from
sensors to the SAP-HANA database. As
a result, processes such as Condition
Monitoring, Predictive Analytics, ener-
gy management, maintenance planning
and asset information do not present a
problem for this target group.
The HARTING platform also offers solutions for small and
medium-sized companies.

Customized production and customer-specific labelling for products
allows for better integration of customer/supplier processes.
New services are being established on the basis of standardized data
formats for product descriptions. HARTING is demonstrating this by way
of a consistent Integrated Industry application.
Mass Customization
delivers identifiable
HARTING products
Many customers in the B2B sector de-
mand increasingly customized products.
In order to manufacture such products
smoothly, a new quality of data consis-
tency along the entire supply chain is
called for. A process model remaining
consistent at all levels and all process
stages and enabling a full description
of the production process is a decisive
component here.
Based on production demonstration
equipment, HARTING shows how ex-
isting expertise and competencies in
the Integrated Industry sector can be
used to order, assemble and apply cus-
tomer-specific labelling to individual
Han-Modular®
inserts (sizes 6, 10,
16 and 24) in individual batches. The
FlexiMon flexible modular production
system forms the foundation of the
production process. Each production

and handles one production step. The
production process is executed through
the interaction of these autonomous
modules. These systems are offered
by HARTING's own special-purpose
engineering equipment manufacturing.
The production unit employed here with
three production cells is connected to
the produciton environment by way of a
smart infrastructure solution.
Customers configure their own tailored
connectors from the Han-Modular®
sys-
tem in the eShop. The data is transferred
from the SAP modules ERP, ME and MII
to the machine, which manufactures
and assembles the desired components
and delivers them to customers, who can
then integrate them into their own set-
up without any further data conversion.
The advantage for customers here is
that they not only receive pre-fabricated
products that can be used immediately,
but that these products can be integrated
seamlessly into their own value-added
process using the labelling they them-
selves have specified, e.g. their own
item numbers. This functions smoothly
with standardized interchange formats
for catalogue data such as BMEcat. They
also form the basis for product classifi-
cation systems such as eCl@ss, ETIM,
proficl@ss and UNSPS. This ensures
excellent data quality that, for example,
enables the identification of HARTING
products in a customer environment
and their seamless incorporation into
customer systems (e.g. assembly manu-
al tailored specifically to the customer's
project). If there are any issues, service
systems can trigger orders themselves
for the corresponding purpose, thanks
to the customized data.
With its Integrated Industry approach,
HARTING is demonstrating the creation
of new solutions with extended, multiple
customer benefits, driven by the perfect
interaction of expertise in the mechani-
cal engineering, automation technology,
information technology and robotics sec-
tors.
The Plug Produce modular concept is implemented on
the basis of the Han-Modular®

At the Hanover Trade Fair 2015, HARTING will be presenting a new
infrastructure box which takes the design of from the conventional
switch cabinets to the highly integrated devices.
The functionality of the infrastructure box allows
standardized connection of machines.
Industrie 4.0 Infrastructure:
Industrie 4.0 will create an increasing number of 'Smart
Factories'. They are characterized by a modular structure
which makes production processes more flexible.
An essential condition for this is a powerful infrastructure
supplying the automation modules with data, signals and pow-
er and taking on key management functions. This results in
a high level of flexibility and maximum efficiency and avail-
ability, all accomplished with a minimum of effort expended
on rearranging the systems.
The essential infrastructure functions for the smartfactoryKL
were specified by a working group of leading automation and
network suppliers on the basis of which HARTING exhibited a
powerful infrastructure box at the Hanover Trade Fair in 2014
that was presented as a switch cabinet full of high-performance
industry devices on DIN rails. These 'switch cabinets', howev-
er, were still much too large and heavy to be considered as a
smart and universal T-device for Smart Factories. Although
the cabinet design was evidence of its functional viability,
the miniaturization in the form of an integrated device is a
crucial prerequisite for meeting users' installation and cost
requirements. Similar to the way in which smartphones only

began to dominate the market with the miniaturization and in-
tegration of mobile telephones, tablet PCs and digital cameras,
integration and miniaturization in industry is fundamental to
its market success and that of Smart Factories.
At the Hanover Trade Fair this year, HARTING will be present-
ing a new infrastructure box. It comes very close to the vision
of a smart T-device, is highly integrated and equipped with
powerful hardware and software.
The functionality of the infrastructure box permits the stan-
dardized connection of machines and automation modules and
the exchange of data via OPC-UA. The box allows energy data
to be measured, outputs to be switched and a Gigabit data back-
bone to be constructed via a managed switch. The unit can
be configured via a web interface or standard management
protocols such as SNMP.
Han-Modular®
connectors are used for the reliable and stan-
dardized connection of data, signals and energy in both the
automation modules and the backbone.
The infrastructure box is the universal interface for smartfactoryKL
machines and systems.
The smart T-device supports a modular system structure and enables the flexible integration
of industrial solutions.

Ethernet is considered the communications platform of the future, and will continue to gain significance as
data rates rise. Already the key technology in industry today, it is used in almost every automation profile.
HARTING supplies all the connection technology required.
Industrial automation
is becoming an integral part of IT
To fully exploit the potential of modern Ethernet-based
network infrastructure for Industrie 4.0, three factors are
required: A standardized communications platform, robust
network products such as switches and cables for industri-
al use, and standards that guarantee compatibility between
the automation technology and information technology, as
well as with the hardware and software solutions used in data
networks.
The norms for structured cabling in different areas of appli-
cation, such as office and industrial environments, computer
centers and building technology, are collected in the third
edition of ISO/IEC 11801 (see overview). The new section for
industry ISO/IEC 11801-3 lists norms that will allow isolated
areas of automation to become an integrated part of a corporate
network.
In order that users can create a universal cabling system,
HARTING has developed an industrial cabling and connection
system. At its core is the Ha-VIS preLink®
terminal block which
can be wired in one operation with the preLink®
tool provid-
ing completely reliable and error-free results. All components
are available in IP20 or IP65/67. Flexible and interchangeable
connectors, sockets and connection elements suitable for a
wide range of different devices and field bus interfaces in
M12 or RJ45 technology ensure universal connections between
factories and offices.

New
standards
for Auto-ID devices
Six years ago, the OPC-UA commu-
nication protocol was introduced with
IEC standard 62541 as the new de facto
standard for the automation sector. Com-
pared to the old OPC, it is more secure
and offers more comprehensive connec-
tivity. It is not dependent on a particular
platform or programming language
and is easier to configure and main-
tain. OPC-UA is scalable as a network
of automation services ranging from
the smallest sensor to embedded sys-
tems and PLCs. With the same protocol,
it is possible to network RFID systems
with just a few data points, as well as
control systems with over 100,000 data
points.
With its object-oriented approach,
OPC-UA can easily be combined with the
manufacturer-specific properties of in-
dividual devices, while fully complying
with the standard. This is important in
order to ensure that HARTING can con-
tinue to implement specific functions
such as a convenient filter and aggrega-
tion layer or support for special sensor
transponders.
As a member of the Industry Association
for Automatic Identification, Data Collec-
tion and Mobile Data Communications
(AIM) and in collaboration with the OPC
Foundation, HARTING has worked with
representatives of major companies in
the sector to draw up the new OPC-UA
Companion Specification for Auto-ID de-
vices. The basic data model will simplify
and accelerate the integration of Auto-ID
devices and thus aid system integrators
in their work.

Interfaces
» Jakob Dück, Industry Segment Manager, HARTING Technology Group, Jakob.Dueck@HARTING.com
Interfaces have been tasked with a key role in the evolution towards highly flexible production systems for
Industrie 4.0. HARTING is offering scalable and therefore cost efficient interface solutions with new,
implementable functionalities such as RFID and data storage.
for the manufacturing systems of the future

23
Modularity, scalability and flexibility – these demands made
on production systems are nothing new. But only since the
dawn of Industrie 4.0 – with its decentralized, distributed in-
telligence and the production of tangible goods by modular,
self-organizing systems controlled by work pieces these de-
mands can actually be met.
This, however, is an evolutionary process for automation and
mechanical engineering companies – current machinery
must function within the existing environment while simul-
taneously being capable of migrating to Integrated Industry.
Machinery and modules with adaptive program code and flexi-
ble interfaces are emerging from manufacturing systems with
non-changeable process sequences and rigid structures.
Interfaces have been tasked with a key role in this evolution
towards adaptive, highly flexible production systems – commu-
nication interfaces, as well as interfaces between all machine
elements and at all levels of production processes.
HARTING already offers the world's broadest product portfolio
of scalable, and therefore cost efficient, pluggable interface
solutions for power, control, signal and data connections, all
featuring the company’s renowned outstanding technical func-
tionality.
Specific examples of such scalable interfaces include:
• As a universal industrial interface for power, signal and
data: the Han-Eco®
family, which offers the option of using
more than 50 different Han-Modular®
modules or Han-Eco®
monoblock inserts.
• As a universal communication interface:
Ha-VIS preLink®
installation technology, which combines
the advantages of IT data network technology with the needs
of industry and features a pre-assembled cable. The mating
face can be precisely tailored to the respective end device or
modified at a later point in time.
HARTING has expanded the functionality of the interfaces to
meetthespecialrequirementsandthemigrationtoIndustrie4.0.
Highly available RFID systems enable the identification of all
elements involved in the production process – work pieces,
tools, machine modules etc., in addition to enabling flexible
data storage directly on the elements or with reference to the
element.
In addition, data storage directly in the industrial connector is
also optional thanks to Han®
ID modules, which are mechani-
cally constructed so that they can be assembled into modular
connectors directly alongside other power, data and signal
modules. On the control side, Han®
ID modules communicate
directly with machine controllers (PLCs, industrial PCs) via
industrial bus systems or discrete I/O. This results in the very
cost-effective and flexible of data storage option that is also
highly robust and at the “machine level” – with all of the en-
suing benefits this offers.
These features permit the harmonious migration of the inter-
faces as a prerequisite for the successful evolution towards the
highly flexible manufacturing systems of the future.
Machinery and modules with adaptive
program code and flexible interfaces are
emerging from manufacturing systems
with non-changeable process sequences
and rigid structures.

Hybrid interfaces
» Rainer Bussmann, Product Manager, HARTING Technology Group, Rainer.Bussmann@HARTING.com
Hybrid interfaces have been used in IT for a long time. Everyone is familiar with the USB or Power over Ethernet
standard through which end devices are supplied with data and energy. The Integrated Industry concept means that
these requirements are also being made of industry. HARTING considers itself a pioneer in this area and is developing
solutions to meet these requirements.
as a solution for Integrated Industry
Integrated Industry is increasing the movement of data on
every level. With a broad portfolio of RJ45 and M12 connec-
tors for data transmission rates from 100 Megabits up to 10
Gigabits, HARTING is well-prepared for these challenges. Trans-
mitting data, signals and power at the same time changes the
cabling structures used so far. HARTING's response has there-
fore been to develop PushPull hybrid connectors such as the
HPPH which transmit both data and signals and is believed
to be one of the smallest IP65/67 hybrid connectors on the
market. The mating face has four Ethernet contacts in Cat. 6A
(RJ45) and three more for a power supply up to 5 A. The ben-
efits are substantial: Easy to handle and compact with a wide
range of different housings and versions plus a data interface
for different transmission media, such as copper, POF and HCS.
As Industrial Ethernet becomes better established, more and
more applications will require special configurations in the
future. The simultaneous transmission of data and power in
one cable and one connector will therefore become increasingly
attractive. This can make the connectors themselves smarter
and able to take on diagnostic and monitoring functions by
means of apps. It is now the right time to define generally appli-
cable standards for the connection of different machines, sys-
tems and components under the Integrated Industry concept.
Companies currently have widely differing ideas, so we are
consulting with users, manufacturers and user organizations.
Applications in the area of smart power boxes which offer
connection options for Ethernet in combination with a power
supply are an indication of the way things are developing. In
the field, this allows much simpler and less costly wiring for
systems compared to the terminal boxes that are otherwise
necessary. Data can be retrieved from field devices via an app
in the box or OPC-UA, while the components can be supplied
with electricity at the same time. The app also monitors power
consumption - simplifying maintenance and diagnosis.

25
Power over Ethernet has been used in IT up to now to con-
nect Ethernet devices such as hard drives and WLAN adapt-
ers to each other. The relevant IEEE standard 802.3af-2003 for
the parallel transmission of energy and data via twisted pair
cables has been established for years. With the PoE+ standard
(IEEE802.3at) now available, HARTING has now more than
doubled the power transmitted on its Ha-VIS eCon models to
34.2 W, thereby creating opportunities for new applications.
As Industrial Ethernet becomes better
established, more and more applications
will require special configurations in the
future.
IN BRIEF
• New possibilities for diagnostic and
monitoring functions
• One common connection for data and electricity

Modularity
meets high
mating cycles
In modular production, which is a key requirement of
Industrie 4.0, system modules are changed several times every
day. The aim is to be able to reset a system and change from
manufacturing one product to another at any time. In extreme
cases this might be to produce a batch size of one.
The ability to replace system modules quickly is crucial. In-
terfaces for all the lifelines of industry are required: data, sig-
nal and power. As well as requiring a strong power supply,
modular machines need to communicate frequently between
their control systems and their peripherals. Under industrial
conditions, this means connection technology that is both ro-
bust and flexible and must continue to function perfectly - also
after a module has been plugged and unplugged a thousand
times. Connectors ensuring such connections must ideally be
designed to save space and combine different functions, simul-
taneously transmitting signals, data and power.
PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT IN
LINE WITH GROWING DEMAND
The HARTING Technology Group has developed the Han®
HMC
(High Mating Cycles) series to precisely meet these require-
ments. It connects housings in accordance with the tried and
tested Han®
standard with inserts and HMC contacts. The stra-
tegic enhancement of the portfolio now also allows modules
from the well-established Han-Modular®
series to be integrated
in housing for high mating cycles, which puts HARTING in a
position to meet the growing demands of modular production
even more effectively.
» Christine Öhls, Product Manager, HARTING Technology Group, Christine.Oehls@HARTING.com
Machines that consist of individually controllable parts can quickly be adapted
to new requirements, thanks to universal interfaces. Ideally, connectors must
combine different functions in a compact space. With Han-Modular®
HMC, the
HARTING Technology Group combines the key requirements of flexible manu-
facture – modularity and high mating cycles.
Han-Modular®
HMC
Han-Modular®
HMC combines the

27
IN BRIEF
• Cuts the cost of operating and maintaining modular
machines
• Space-saving with the combination of different
transmission media in one connector
• Numerous options for combining data,
signal and power
With the new Han-Modular®
Hinged Frame HMC it is now
possible to integrate modules in Han®
HMC housing which
have been designed for over 10,000 mating cycles. The main
difference between conventional hinged frames and the new
version is the PE contact. This has a special coating and has
been attached to the frame in a particular way.
MODULARITY MEANS FLEXIBILITY
The combination of Han-Modular®
with Han®
HMC opens up a
wide range of new options to users. For example, for the first
time it is possible for a Han®
HMC connector to include several
types of transmission – data, signals and power – in the same
connector which is furthermore robust enough to withstand
10,000 mating cycles. There are many options for different
combinations.
Using connectors specially designed for high mating cycles
cuts the cost of operation and maintenance in modular ma-
chines, while set-up times and downtimes are also shorter.
Modular and hybrid interfaces also increase flexibility and
save space. Han-Modular®
HMC is therefore ideally suited for
utilization as a central interface in Industrie 4.0.

The key demands made on automation are high performance
and determinism, that is, a guaranteed response time to an
event. An accurate date stamp allows the control system to
differentiate between cause and effect and to respond accord-
ingly. Ethernet does not offer this determinism by itself, be-
cause it is based on statistically distributed network access,
i.e. performance falls as the load on the network rises. This is
particularly critical for fast and synchronous drive regulators,
for measurement and test facilities or when synchronizing net-
works with wind energy in-feed.
HARTING Fast Tracking Switches are active network compo-
nents that transport automation frames or specially labeled
frames preferentially: they switch on a “flashing blue-light”,
so to speak, holding other frames back and thereby prevent-
ing congestion. The Ha-VIS FTS switches guarantee that the
preferred frames always arrive at their destination within the
time calculated, irrespective of the load on the network. In this
way, the Ethernet communication solutions achieve the same
performance as deterministic field buses.
The new Ha-VIS FTS support the Precision Time Protocol PTP
in accordance with the Standard IEEE 1588v2 even with a
hardware time stamp and achieve accuracy of less than 0.1
microseconds. They can be operated as a Boundary Clock or
a Transparent Clock and therefore assume the role of master
or slave, allowing all the participants in time-critical applica-
tions to be synchronized and fast speeds in automation to be
achieved.
Ha-VIS Fast Track Switches ensure
determinism - even when an Ethernet
network is working under a heavy load.
Flashing blue lights

IN BRIEF
• Accurate synchronization of networks with the
standardized PTP time protocol.
• The advance of Ethernet on field level reduces media
discontinuity.
In Ha-VIS FTS, HARTING has developed an universal Ethernet switch enabling the construction of a deterministic
Ethernet in different automation environments.

the future
Humans play a key role in the Integrated
Industry concept. They receive particular
support in the area of production and
logistics with Auto-ID technologies that
provide expedient and context-related
information, for example, offering exactly
the help they need where they need
it. For example, production and pick-
ing workspaces can be equipped with
UHF RFID applications that make them
more economical. Ha-VIS LOCFIELD®
cable antennas are the basis for this. They
can be positioned in almost any way under
tables, on shelves or along conveyor belts
so that no space is wasted.
HARTING has now developed an intelli-
gent workspace with a LOCFIELD®
an-
tenna for RFID applications. It is fitted
with such precision under the table that
it only reads objects on the tabletop. In-
tegrated via Ha-VIS Middleware, these
objects can be visualized on a screen,
listed and annotated with extra informa-
tion. A supplementary application allows
the simultaneous display of production
and work instructions. This reduces the
error rate during handling, production
and logistics, and staff are optimally
provided with the information they need.
The cable antenna can be as long as
necessary. The options for placing the
cable range from straight to waved

arrange it around table tops and door
frames. The reading range can be
controlled and increased by the way the
cable is run. The antenna is operational
with any transponder or reader that com-
plies with GS1 EPCglobal standards.
Low-cost smart shelves and smart tables can be realized
with LOCFIELD®

Benefits of the Han-Eco®
series now also integrated in 10 A and 16 A housing
Han-Eco®
» Gero Degner, Product Manager, HARTING Technology Group, Gero.Degner@HARTING.com
Industrial connectors must be robust and reliable, which
is why most manufacturers use metal housings. However,
HARTING established the “B” variant of the Han-Eco®
series
with its high-performance plastic housing on the market some
time ago. It is highly resistant to environmental impact.
As well as being lighter in weight and resistant to corrosion,
the new series offers other benefits, such as simple and flex-
ible assembly (click and mate), higher contact density and
excellent mechanical robustness. When coupled, it meets the
requirements of protection class IP65. With highly UV and
ozone-resistant fluoroelastomer seals, the Han-Eco®
housings
are also suitable for outdoor utilization scenarios. Classified
as V 0 under UL 94, the material also meets very stringent
flammability regulations.
Combination of the connectors with the modules in the
Han-Modular®
and Han-Eco®
monoblocks E series results in
a very broad range of application options in the industrial en-
vironment and in very challenging environmental conditions.
The benefits of the connectors are particularly apparent in
challenging exterior applications. For example, Han-Eco®
Outdoor connectors are used with great success in wind power
systems and in traffic technology.
HARTING has now added the 10 A and 16 A variants to the
Han-Eco®
series. There are assembly benefits for customers:
similarly to the “B” variant Han-Eco®
housing, the “A” vari-
ant can be fitted to the rear of a switch cabinet. Pre-assem-
bled with cables and fixing brackets, the inserts are easily
snapped into place from behind in the housing already

31
The Han-Eco®
10 A and 16 A housings
are lightweight, corrosion-resistant and
easy to assemble.
IN BRIEF
• Lighter in weight
• Corrosion-resistant
• Simple, tool-free assembly
mounted on the switch cabinet. This saves valuable time
during installation.
The Han-Eco®
type A connector range includes sleeve housings
with top or side entry cable outlets and bulkhead mounting,
surface-mounting and cable-to-cable housings. For bulkhead
mounting and surface-mounting housings there are flexible cov-
er hoods available which can be retrofitted with a simple bearing
pedestal. Integrated M20 and M25 cable glands are available.
A new type of thread connection for the cable outlet on the hous-
ing allows any combination of both cable gland sizes on the sur-
face-mounting housing. The Han-Eco®
10 A and 16 A housings
are compatible for connection with the metal version and can be
used in industrial and also in outdoor applications.

IN BRIEF
• User-friendly installation and maintenance
• Outdoor application for extreme fluctuations
in temperature
The power of the sun
In solar thermal power plants, thousands of individual mirrors
concentrate sunlight on to a single point in a tower where water
or oil flowing through it is vaporized. The high temperatures
are used to drive conventional steam turbines which generate
electricity. In order to work most efficiently, the mirrors must
always be directed towards the focal point on the tower, so each
heliostat in the plant, which can extend up to 100 hectares, is
fitted with positioning drives to move the mirrors.
On each heliostat, there are distribution boxes for data and en-
ergy connected with reliable HARTING connectors. The plastic
or metal housing and the seals of the connectors are designed
to be ozone and UV-resistant and also dust-proof. As a typi-
cal outdoor application, they must also be able to withstand
extreme fluctuations in temperature with no problems. The
LOC boxes are therefore hermetically sealed; a diaphragm pro-
vides pressure equalization and prevents water penetration.
The operators use the Han®
series for the power connection;
data is exchanged via either RJ45-PushPull connectors or
optical PushPull LC duplex connectors. The cables are
connected up in a daisy-chain configuration. This allows the
service personnel to connect input and output connectors to
each other and cut out a defective station without any effect on
the others.
» Rainer Bussmann, Product Manager, HARTING Technology Group, Rainer.Bussmann@HARTING.com
Solar thermal companies depend on the reliable and robust connectors in the Han®
series from HARTING for power
connections and on PushPull connectors for data transmission via fiber optic cables.
As a typical outdoor application, they
must also be able to withstand extreme
fluctuations in temperature with
no problems.

Perfect
protection on
the high seas
Connectors in harbor installations and the devices deployed
there need to be particularly robust and reliable.
In co-operation with Palfinger systems, HARTING uses the
Han-Eco®
Outdoor and Han-Modular®
products for systems
involved in the maintenance of ocean-going vessels.
Protecting ships from corrosion is
time-consuming and difficult. Palfinger
systems GmbH, based in Salzburg
and Weng/Austria, has developed new
access systems for cleaning and re-
pairing the outer surfaces of ships,
as well as the interior of tanks and
holds, that dispenses with the need for
scaffolding and ladders. The HTC SD and
HTC Junior systems for cleaning hull
exteriors and applying new paint, are
fully automated, PLC controlled, and can
be operated by just a few workers.
ITP-8, the systems for cleaning and
re-coating the interior of tankers, allow
eight people to work together and are
similarly PLC controlled.
All the systems are entirely modular in
design and are stored in sections on-
shore. This design means that all the
separate parts of the system must be
fitted with connectors.
For all these systems HARTING provides
the relevant connectors in the Han-Eco®
housing range in sizes 6B to 16B, in the
Han-Modular®
insert series as well as
the Han-Quick Lock®
connection tech-
nology.
HARTING's Han®
-GoldTec coating has
been opted for to cope with the very
damaging corrosive effect of sea
water and the heavy-duty wear from the

The preLink®
system and Ha-VIS EtherRail®
cables specially configured for railway requirements allow
the construction of reliable and future-proof data networks for railway technology.
Today, passenger information systems that transmit audio and
video signals represent standard equipment on most trains
and increasing numbers of travelers are expecting to find a
high-end infotainment system with internet access. All of this
presents rail operators with the need to increase transmission
capacity and adapt existing rolling stock to the changes in
user requirements.
The preLink®
installation system and Ha-VIS EtherRail®
cables specially configured for railway requirements al-
low these future-oriented data networks to be quickly and
reliably set up and installed. The fundamental idea behind the
preLink®
technology is the separation of the cable connection
and the mating face. At its core is a cable terminal block in
which the stranded wires are inserted separately. The assem-
bly process is completed with pliers that ensure reliable re-
sults.
The small size of the contact block means that the data cables
can be prepared ready for use outside of the car and then in-
stalled. The Ha-VIS preLink®
terminal block can then be fitted
to any of the various Ha-VIS preLink®
mating faces depending
on the network device to which it is to be connected. RJ45 and
M12 D- or X-coded connectors in protection classes IP20 and
IP65/67 are all possible options. This uniquely varied range
of mating faces with the same connection technology cuts
planning and warehousing costs as well as the installation
time and the error rate. Particularly given the long periods of
use in railway technology, these products offer a high level of
flexibility and a safe investment.

Innovative HARTING solution
for urban railways and subways
As a global leader in rail transportation systems, Ansaldo
STS develops leading edge train control technologies. For one
of their urban railway projects, the company developed an
autonomous inductive train control system (Automatic Train
Control, ATC). This system must be as light weight, compact
and cost efficient as possible, and above all, reliable. Earlier
ATC systems were based on Standard DIN circuit boards and
were wired with discrete internal wiring looms. This approach
was costly, both in the lamination and also with respect to the
wiring of the individual cables. The newly developed HARTING
multi circuit board for the internal interconnection of power,
signal and data eliminates the internal wiring entirely.
The custom backplane bus is equipped with DIN D96 and E48
circuit board connectors as well as Han®
Q 5/0 PCB adapters,
Han®
108 DD PCB adapters, M12 and D-Sub. The connectors
are characterized by high reliability and safety, as well as the
utmost durability. The compact Han®
PCB adapters provide a
direct connection into the Han®
bulkhead fittings, thereby sav-
ing space and weight.
With the new system, Ansaldo STS has also streamlined the
supply chain, since HARTING delivers the circuit boards com-
pletely populated and ready for installation.

of its User’s Guide Transportation. The
new edition provides all of the latest
key information required by users of
HARTING connectors, device connectiv-
ity technology and network infrastruc-

On over 300 pages the guide outlines
the role performed by connectors in the
rail industry including in motor con-
nections for locomotives/motor coach-
es, the supply of couplings, brakes and
door systems as well as the intercon-
nection of passenger information and
air-conditioning systems. The guide’s
key new features include the chapter on
RFID products and current sensors. The
presentation is completed by a range of
application examples based on actual
situations.

able in German and English and can be
