Industrial communication
The aim of industrial communication is the reliable transmission of data from the field through to the control level. Consistent solutions with Industrial Ethernet, state-of-the-art wireless technologies, and cybersecurity increase the availability and security of the networked systems here. Network protocols and fieldbus systems such as PROFINET, OPC UA, PROFIBUS and INTERBUS ensure efficient communication.

Use device servers to convert serial interfaces such as RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 to other standards, such as Ethernet (RJ45), with protocol transparency. Gateways and protocol converters convert various fieldbus and Ethernet protocols (e.g., PROFIBUS to PROFINET), thus enabling the easy integration of legacy serial devices and fieldbuses into modern Ethernet networks.
With Ethernet extenders, you can connect Ethernet networks economically over large distances. In Gigabit applications, you can even achieve ranges of up to 20 km. Use existing cables for sophisticated Ethernet installations to minimize investment costs. Find the ideal extender for your application.
Fieldbus distributors and segment couplersFieldbus distributors (also known as field device couplers) for PROFIBUS PA and FOUNDATION Fieldbus provide you with the option of extending your fieldbus in the field to suit your needs. The modular DP-PA coupler transparently connects PROFIBUS DP networks to PROFIBUS PA process networks in order to easily network your field devices with the control systems.
Using fieldbus repeaters for PROFIBUS and RS-485 bus systems, you can extend your network over a wide area regardless of the data rate. Even the number of devices can be extended through segmentation with repeaters. You can increase the range, transmit without EMI, and extend and distribute channels as required. The modular concept supports any combination of copper and FO channels. Using the serial interface converters, serial interfaces such as RS-232, RS-485, RS-422, and TTY can be converted from and to these formats in order to connect different devices.
Our Industrial Ethernet Switch portfolio comprises Managed and Unmanaged Switches with Gigabit, PoE, IEC 61850 certification, and for DIN rail mounting. This gives you the flexibility to build powerful and secure networks, even in harsh environments: copper and FO ports, as well as redundancy functions, enable the flexible networking of your systems and the easy segmentation of your industrial network.
Our robust industrial routers connect various networks via cable (LAN router and NAT router) or mobile network (2G/3G/4G/5G) for the remote maintenance and protection of your local network. A large number of products feature integrated VPN and firewall functions. For the highest level of security, the mGuard routers protect against cyber attacks and malware.
