Company Presentation

Hirschmann Automation and Control, Neckartenzlingen (near Stuttgart), which since 2007 belongs to the U.S. American Belden Inc., has focussed its competence on the Strategic Business Units Industrial Networking, Industrial Connectors and Electronic Control Systems. The products range from network components for Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet, through fibre interfaces for different field bus systems to electromechanical connectors for actuators and sensors.

Hirschmann Automation and Control is currently the only company on the market to offer a complete product range for homogeneous data communication in the industrial sector using Ethernet. This includes Layer 2 and Layer 3 switches as well as industrial security and WLAN systems that provide a uniform, company-wide communications infrastructure without interface problems and media discontinuities.

In the future both Ethernet and fieldbusses will be used at the controller level, as well as at the field level of industrial networks depending on requirements. Hirschmann therefore offers fibre interfaces for bus systems such as Profibus, Modbus or Genius Bus; these interfaces are highly suited to use in close proximity to the process due to their optical fibre technology and their robust design.

The connector range includes both products for the actuators and sensors and for industrial machine and system manufacture as well as for building installation and wiring of photovoltaic systems. Special cable connection technologies help save time and thus also costs.
