ProfiCloud - Customized Cloud Technology for Industrial Easy to Implement Industry 4.0

The PROFINET industrial Ethernet bus technology introduced by Phoenix Contact has been widely used in the industrial field. PROFINET is fully compatible with general Ethernet and IT technology, and can seamlessly connect the office network and production control network within the factory. At present, under the trend of Industry 4.0, more and more customers have put forward the need for remote control and communication, and even hope to integrate third-party smart devices and data into the PROFINET control system. Phoenix Contact has developed ProfiCloud for this kind of demand - the cloud technology that is customized for the industry, can realize these demands easily.


The industrial control equipment of large-scale manufacturing enterprises and users of the infrastructure industry are often distributed in different regions of the world. It is often not practical to establish communication between these devices to achieve mutual communication and collaborative production. There are usually two ways to interconnect devices. One is to connect all industrial devices directly to the Internet. The remote device sends the required information to a fixed public IP address (or a fixed public domain name). On the server, the server analyzes and processes the data. In this way, information security cannot always be guaranteed, and important information is easily stolen by malicious people. The communication between industrial control devices is indirectly completed, and collaboration and convenience are poor. The other way is to establish a VPN (virtual private network) channel between devices in different areas through hardware. This communication mode is very secure, and the underlying devices can establish direct communication, but the hardware cost is high and the settings are More complicated.

The ProfiCloud technology provided by Phoenix Contact enables PROFINET users to easily achieve the interconnection and interoperability of secure and fast underlying devices without adding any hardware costs. In the figure above, standard PROFINET devices distributed in different places can be connected to ProfiCloud cloud servers via the Internet and communicate with them. The local PROFINET system can access this data through the Cloud Coupler. For the local PROFINET controllers and programmers, the remote device is just like the direct connection to the local PROFINET network. There is no difference between using and programming. . In ProfiCloud technology, remote PROFINET substations do not even require a controller, all control commands can be issued by the local PROFINET controller, which saves the customer a lot of hardware costs.

With ProfiCloud technology, it is easy to integrate third-party data, such as weather data, exchange rate data, recipe data, etc. This function is convenient for users of certain wind power generation, photovoltaic power generation, water conservancy facilities and manufacturing enterprises. ProfiCloud technology can even integrate smart devices such as smart phones and smart watches into virtual PROFINET devices. The smartwatch can read the heart rate sensor, gravity sensor, electronic compass sensor, triple gyro sensor, and temperature and humidity of the operator at any time. Sensors and other data. It can be foreseen that in the smart factory of the future, not only high-end intelligent manufacturing equipment will be involved in production, but human-machine switching will not only be simple through buttons and switches, smart wearable devices and communication technologies connecting the smart world will bring even more. An efficient and convenient manufacturing model, and the ProfiCloud technology brought by Phoenix Contact will make this possible.

Communication between ProfiCloud devices is encrypted through TLS (Secure Transport Layer Protocol), which ensures the security of information for industrial control data communications. The TLS protocol is widely used in online web services provided by the banking system, and the TLS protocol can also be very secure through a network firewall.

The use of ProfiCloud devices is also very simple, without complicated network settings and handshake protocol settings, engineers only need to add ProfiCloud devices through the UUID (Device Universally Unique Identifier) ​​on the ProfiCloud cloud server, and will be distributed in different areas of the PROFINETIO sub-station, The switch and the cloud coupler are “connected” together to complete the setup and then the remote device can be configured and programmed as if it were a local PROFINET device.

ProfiCloud is characterized by secure communication, ease of programming, and cost-effectiveness, which has earned it the nomination for the 2014 Hermes Award. The Hermes Award is known as the industry. The Oscars claim that there are only 5 nominations each year. This fully proves the innovative and creative spirit that Phoenix Contact has as an automation expert.

Phoenix Contact has always been committed to the integration of IT technology into automation systems, and promoted the development of Industry 4.0 through a series of communication technologies connecting the smart world, such as ProfiCloud technology, PROFINET technology, mGuard industrial information security technology.

Description of Metallic Stainless Steel Braided Sleeving

Stainless Steel braided Sleeve is used as flexible jointing wire of electric appliance, switch appliance electric stove and storage battery etc. such as Cable, CRT Assembly Wire, Television, Computer Monitor, ETC signal pickup instruments. Braided copper wire can be provided rolled flat or in tubular form. Flat braids are generally used for flexible connections, electrical leads and grounding straps. The tubular braids are basically used as shielding.

Features of Metallic Stainless Steel Braided Sleeving

High physical strength with light weight and a long usage life.
2. Good corrosion characteristics, resistance to high temperature, moisture, abrasion and penetration.
3. Good flexibility, absorb effectively vibration, noise, thermal expansion and contraction from pipeline system.
4. Quick alternative for rigid piping in difficult locations, resolve minor deviation because of piping connecting and eliminate the pipeline residual stress, corrects problems of misalignment.
