Network technology - Steer Your Data in the Right Direction
Industrial communication networks are the backbone of digitization Machine and system communications are rapidly increasing. Networks act as a lifeline for data streams. To guarantee successful digitization you have to have powerful and reliable network technology. You need to ask if the communication network is strong enough to handle the increase in flexible applications and find out what the prerequisites are to reliably network a combination of classic and/or digital devices. Finally, you need to know if the application is ready for future advances in data communication. The design, planning and implementation of industrial communication networks requires an in-depth knowledge of automation technology and takes into consideration the main requirements for networking data – reliability, openness and flexibility. Murrelektronik knows it is not only the ability to provide components, which range from basic switches all the way up to the latest in POE technology and the cables to connect them, that matters but also the ability provide support and tips to help our partners optimize data flow while reducing their wiring efforts. Sharing knowledge, presenting options (including their pros and cons) and explaining the "point of use" for the components allows you to see industrial networks as a whole and highlights the added value of the chosen solution.
Vario-X IPC Solution – Open for the future
Our control solution combines the best of IPC and CODESYS PLC to create an open and future-oriented decentralized automation platform. By supporting all common network and communication protocols, we open the doors to a new era of industrial automation where flexibility and future-proofing are key. Our IPC solution is the heart of a decentralized installation solution that not only meets today's requirements, but is also ready for the challenges of tomorrow.

Multifunctional 8-fold IO-Link master
The compact IP67 I/O systems MVK Pro and Impact67 Pro, equipped with eight IO-Link master ports, are the latest additions to Murrelektronik's well-known I/O portfolio. With L-coded M12 connectors for field installation, high currents can also be realised. PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and Ethercat are available as Industrial Ethernet protocols.
uKonn-X – The digital solution for seamless electrical installation technology
At the heart of uKonn-X is a software solution that uses customer data such as electrical PDF circuit diagrams, etc., to create a bill of materials (BOM). The software then generates a clear, interactive 2D/3D view of the assembly or the entire machine. uKonn-X generates digital navigation maps, similar to Google Maps, where the BMK of the components used, such as sensors and actuators, fieldbus modules, and connectors, are the street names and house numbers. This system guides the user to their destination and allows them to see exactly where the electrical components are located and how they are correctly wired on their mobile device. SCAN Assembly department employees scan the components marked with QR codes using handheld scanners. Their positions are immediately displayed in the 2D layout view or in the 3D machine model. INSTALLATION The positioning of the components and the start and end points of the cable connections are visually highlighted. Even people who are unfamiliar with the location are guided intuitively and can reach the specified connection point without in-depth technical knowledge. DOCUMENTATION Once a task has been completed, the user confirms that the assembly has been carried out correctly, thereby triggering documentation in the program and enabling the next task in the assembly process to be carried out until completion. The production management team has live access to data on work progress and expected completion, as well as a readiness report.
