A novel interface device allows users to connect external equipment such as laptops or PCs directly to the front panel of a control cabinet without opening the cabinet door.

Han-Port from Harting is a novel interface device that allows users to connect external equipment such as laptops or PCs for setup, programming and error diagnosis of complete industrial installations directly to the front panel of a control cabinet without opening the cabinet door The unit is based on a modular design which allows it to be used with a selection of different inserts for power and signal connections

The power inserts include mains sockets for all European and international standards, with screw termination to ensure reliable connection.

The data inserts include RJ45, USB, sub-D9 and sub-D25 standard interfaces, and can be used in multiple combinations.

"Gender changer" modules allow easy connection from both sides of the panel without the need for soldering.

The unit is housed in a robust zinc diecast frame equipped with separate transparent covers for power and data connections.

In the locked position, it guarantees protection to IP65, and is thus ideal for use on protected control cabinets in harsh industrial environments.

The locking system protects against accidental opening.
