Sensor Connectivity
Connecting the Intelligence of Sensors Electro-Mechanical Interface: Connectors used in sensor technology form the electro-mechanical interface between sensors and high-level control or evaluation units. They ensure the reliable transmission of: - Analog signals - Digital data - Power supply Sensor connectors perform key functions such as ensuring reliable electrical contact, providing mechanical strain relief, and protecting the interface from environmental influences. Locking mechanisms and vibration-optimized contact geometries ensure a stable, interference-free signal transmission even under strong dynamic loads. Many applications also place high demands on sealing performance. Protection classes such as IP67, IP68, or IP69K safeguard the connection against moisture, dust, oils, and intensive cleaning processes, maintaining a durable, leak-tight interface even after numerous mating cycles. In addition, sensor connectors are designed for quick and intuitive assembly to ensure efficient installation. Rosenberger develops high-end RF, high-speed data, and power connectivity solutions that meet the increasing demands of modern sensor technology. Our connection systems enable stable high-frequency signals, low-interference data transmission, and reliable power supply. Why High-Performance Connectivity for Sensors? The miniaturization of sensors and devices presents engineers with a clear challenge: More performance in increasingly smaller spaces. At the same time, requirements for transmission speed and electromagnetic safety continue to grow. Digital interfaces such as: - IO-Link - Ethernet-based protocols - High-speed data lines demand highly precise, robust, and EMC-optimized connection technology.
Single Pair Ethernet (SPE)
Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) - Compact Network Solutions for Industry 4.0 and IIoT One Pair of Wires - An Infinite Number of Applications Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) reduces data transmission to a single twisted pair of wires and enables: - Data rates of up to 1 Gbps - Transmission distances of up to 1,000 meters - Power over Data Line (PoDL) and hybrid installations using the same cable - Multidrop networks for flexible topologies This significantly reduces cabling effort, and in many cases, existing infrastructure can continueto be used. SPE establishes unified, Ethernet-based communication from the sensor to the cloud and is considered a key technology for Robotics, Industry 4.0 and IIoT. Benefits such as space, weight, and costsavings make SPE ideal for industrial and commercial applications. With the upcoming IEC 63171-7 ED2 standard, future-proof solutions are emerging that optimally prepare networks for the requirements of Industry 4.0 and IIoT. Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) simplifies data transmission by using just a single wire pair for communication. While traditional Ethernet often reaches its limits on the field level – due to complex installation, limited range, or lack of robustness – SPE provides a streamlined, efficient, and reliable alternative. Benefits of Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) - Unified communication: End-to-end Ethernet-based networking from the sensor to the cloud - Standardized & future-proof: Based on international standards (IEC 63171-7 ED2) - Efficient infrastructure: Reduced cabling effort; existing installations can often be reused - Extended range: Data transmission up to 1,000 m - High data rates: Supporting speeds up to 1 Gbps - Power over Data Line (PoDL): Simultaneous transmission of data and power - Resource-saving design: Lower weight, smaller bend radius, and compact dimensions SPE creates a simplified infrastructure and is regarded as a key technology for Industry 4.0, Roboticsand the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
