108 1-800-447-2371 www.lutze.com BUS and Network Cables BUS and Network cables BUS-Systems have become a very vital part of factory automation and it is hard to imagine automation without them. Besides hardware and software components, passive components such as bus cables and connectors play an important role for reliable function of the system. Bus cables must comply with all electrical parameters of the particular system. There is no universally applicable bus cable as the individual requirements are too diverse. LUTZE offers robust, industrial grade fieldbus and network cables for the most commonly used systems worldwide. These cables are being offered for stationary and flexible applications as well as continuous moving applications in drag chains. Systems: PROFIBUS PROFIBUS is the most common Bus System used in Europe in the area of automated manufacturing. PROFIBUS DP This PROFIBUS variant, optimized through increased transmission speed and low installation cost, was especially designed for the communication between automation systems and decentralized peripheral devices in the field range. PROFIBUS DP substitutes the conventional parallel data communication with 24V or 0-20 mA. LUTZE PROFIBUS cables meet the specification for PROFIBUS DP type A according to EN 50254. PROFIBUS DP and PROFIBUS FMS use the same transmission technology as well as a unified BUS protocol. Both variants can be operated simultaneously on one cable. PROFIBUS Fast Connect® These cables have an optimized radial, symmetrical construction and can facilitate the application of special tools. Thereby, bus connector plugs are able to be assembled in a fast and installation-friendly way. CAN-Bus CAN-Bus is specified according to ISO 11898. Primarily designed for automotive applications CAN-Buses are used today for the exchange of digital information, Controller Area Network (CAN) for faster data transfer/data exchange. DeviceNet™ DeviceNet™ is a service related network, based on the proven CAN-Technology for fast data exchange. The configuration consists of thick cable (aka Trunk cable) and thin cable (aka drop cable). The use of high flexing cables in drag chains is likewise possible. DeviceNet™ has been standardized by Open DeviceNet™ Vendor Association (ODVA) and is the leading bus system for industrial automation in North America. Industrial Ethernet Ethernet is the most commonly used communication technology. The Ethernet Standard allows for a remarkable increase in the bandwidth, from 12 Mbits/s for a bus system, to up to 10Gbit/s. In the office world the Ethernet standard has already established itself as the standard technology, however the requirements for wiring systems and active components in the industrial environment differ greatly from those in an office environment. On one hand the infrastructure must be more robust; and on the other hand, criteria such as real time application require special IT solutions. Consequently, this has resulted in the development of various proprietary systems such as PROFINET, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP and Powerlink with system specific components which may not be compatible with others. A structured Ethernet cabling according to EN 50173-3 should support each proprietary system. LUTZE offers Industrial Ethernet solutions in light duty, standard duty and continuous flexing versions. Many options include UL 600V AWM and UL Type PLTC approvals for easy deployment in industrial applications.
