The new EPIC ® Modular Ethernet and Profibus connectors provide a hardened, water-tight and electrically shielded industrial interface for cable-to-cable, cable-to-control panel, and cable-to machine applications. They can be used individually in a compact HBE6 housing or combined with other power/control modules to form a custom,application specific, connector from standard off-the-shelf components.

The Ethernet module offers quick field assembly using standard RJ45 termination. It is a perfect mate to the UNITRONIC® Etherline continuous flex Cat 5e cable in cable track and other motion applications. The Ethernet module also includes four power/control contacts to provide power to remote Ethernet devices.

The ProfiBus modules are designed for use with static and continuous flex shielded ProfiBus DP cable such as UNITRONIC® Bus cable. The receptacle module includes an integral bus tee to allow installation and removal of the plug module without disrupting communications on the bus.The EPIC® Modular Series is based on the modular building block concept, which allows various modules of differing voltage and current ratings to be assembled in a single insert frame. The modular frames fit into standard EPIC® Industrial Connector housings rated IP65 and NEMA 4, 4X, and 12. Applications include Robotics, Automation, Industrial Controls, and Machine Building.
