- Connects Autonomous Xi Cameras to Siemens PLC Systems
- PROFINET-Association-Approved - a Leading European Industrial Protocol
- Includes GSD Files and Full Documentation for Fast Siemens PLC Integration
- Up to 100 Mbit/s Ethernet via RJ45 or Industrial M12 (D-Coded) Connector
- Rugged IP65 / NEMA 4 Steel Housing
- Ships Complete with Connectors, Cable, and Software
This interface kit connects your autonomous Xi series infrared camera to a PROFINET network - one of the most widely used industrial protocols in Europe and the standard for Siemens PLC environments. It lets the camera stream live temperature data directly to PLCs, controllers, and data-acquisition systems over standard Ethernet, so thermal measurement integrates cleanly into factory, hybrid, and process automation. The same kit also works with CSVision pyrometers.
Built for Siemens Automation
PROFINET is approved by the PROFINET Association and is the de facto standard across European industrial automation, especially Siemens controllers. The kit ships with GSD files and full documentation, so it drops into your PLC engineering software (such as TIA Portal) as a recognized device - import the GSD file, add the module, and the camera appears on the network.
Connectivity and Configuration
The module communicates over 10/100 Base-T Ethernet at up to 100 Mbit/s, using a standard RJ45 connector or a rugged 4-pin M12 (D-coded) industrial connector. Multiple devices can share the same network, each with its own IP address in the same subnet. Network settings are stored on the interface board itself, so they are retained even if the connected camera is swapped.
Built for the Plant Floor
Housed in a rugged steel enclosure rated IP65 / NEMA 4, the interface withstands dust, vibration, and shock in demanding industrial settings. It operates from 0 to 85 °C on a 5-30 VDC supply and draws less than 0.7 W, adding negligible load to your power budget.
What Is in the Box
The kit ships complete: the IP65 interface box with an M12 connector and 25 cm cable, an M12 4-pin connector, a 20 cm extension cable with an RJ45 socket and M12 connector, and a USB stick containing the software and manual, plus a quick-reference guide.
