The Brad®HarshIO IP67 Compact Ethernet Module from Molex

Delivers on machine I/O connectivity over PROFINET industrial fieldbus to provide a space-saving, cost-effective solution for Machine Builders

Brad® HarshIO IP67 Ethernet Modules are a reliable, machine-mountable solution for connecting industrial controllers to I/O devices in harsh-duty environments. Narrow 30mm housings are well suited to compact machines where space is limited. Following traditional industrial fieldbus practices, the 8 I/O ports with M8 connectors are ideal for attaching sensing devices or actuators.

This enables machine designers to connect a single digital signal per port and maintain a high density of I/O points using the minimum amount of space. Brad HarshIO compact Ethernet modules offer a smooth and easy transition to PROFINET connectivity for machine builders, currently using PROFIBUS compact modules, who are required to transition over to Ethernet by their end-users. Elementary, lean design principles of the modules maximise connectivity and cost-effectiveness.

Key Features:
  • 30mm housing dimension - Designed for use in compact machines where space is limited
  • IP67-rated housing; dust, water and vibration resistant - On-machine mounting; no need for protective cabinet
  • Configurable I/O channels - Allows PROFINET controller to configure (via GSD file) each port as Input, Output or Universal digital channel; Flexible solution; covers all customer requirements with one part number
  • Diagnostic capabilities via fieldbus messaging and visible diagnostic LEDs - Maintenance personnel can easily determine I /O, module and network statuses
  • Integrated 2-port switch with 100Mbps full duplex data transmission - Wire the entire application without switches; daisy-chain wiring topology results in cost savings for the customer
  • Patented Ultra-Lock® push-to-lock connection system - Fast, safe, operator independent IP67- sealed connection of cordsets; Time savings at installation and changeovers; minimizes downtime
  • 3x rotary switches for setting IP address - Quick commissioning; Supports easy implementation of PROFINET fieldbus
