CC-Link Adopts ix Industrial® as a New Standard Interface
23/08/2023 HARTING Stiftung & Co. KG
The ix Industrial® Gbit Ethernet connector compliant with IEC 61076-3-124 was added to the updated CC-Link IE TSN specification.
The Nagoya, Japan-based CC-Link Partner Organization has added the ix Industrial® Gbit Ethernet Interface Type A (in line with IEC 61076-3-124) to its "CC-Link IE TSN network communication specifications" list as a new recommended standard. As a reliable industrial solution, ix Industrial® complements well-known RJ45 and M12 X-coded solutions. HARTING offers ix Industrial® with additional features for demanding applications.
The CC-Link Partner Organization has released its March 2023 revised CC-Link IE TSN Specifications (Overview + Implementation Rules). In addition to well-known RJ45 and M12 X-coded solutions, the ix Industrial® Type A interface is now specified (10-pin rectangular connector compliant with IEC 61076-3-124). The ix Industrial® is internationally standardized according to IEC-Standard 61076-3-124 and transmits Ethernet at up to 10 Gbit/s.
CC-Link users now have a third industrial Ethernet-Interface for twisted pair cables. With its significantly increased reliability and a device socket that's 70 % smaller than an RJ45 solution, ix Industrial® offers promising miniaturization possibilities.
Having already been listed in the GigE Vision and PROFINET specifications, the ix Industrial® interface is now gaining traction with CC-Link. ix Industrial® is thus increasingly establishing itself as a common standard for reliable Ethernet-Networks.
In addition to the standard variant, the HARTING Technology Group also offers the connector with an additional pull-out aid for very compact arrangements of several interfaces next to each other. With the new Mini PushPull-Series, the ix Industrial® mating face is also available in a waterproof and dustproof version.
