INDUSTRONIC’s INTRON-X: The Future of Scalable Industrial Communication
INDUSTRONIC
As an international high-tech company based in Wertheim, Germany, INDUSTRONIC is a world-class provider of industrial communication systems For almost 60 years now, INDUSTRONIC has been a successful manufacturer of communication systems for industrial applications in harsh environments.
INTRON-X
The INTRON-X is a state-of-the-art modular IP-based platform for scalable Intercom, PA/GA and PA solutions from INDUSTRONIC. With open interfaces for system networking, connection of external communication and control systems, and a modular and flexible design, the INTRON-X provides solutions for all types of industrial communication needs and requirements.
System – X Solutions- Key Features
- Modular Design: Each INTRON-X module is compact and designed for specific tasks, including central control, digital and analog connectivity, I/O handling, and beacon control. Modules are rack-mounted (19” chassis) and offer decentralized placement to reduce infrastructure costs.
- Network Redundancy: Equipped with dual Ethernet ports, each module supports redundant network connections, ensuring reliability and minimizing single points of failure.
- System Adaptability: The system supports configurations ranging from small setups, such as driller’s intercoms, to extensive multi-tier plant warning systems. Integration with existing IT infrastructure, including backward compatibility with the INTRON-D, enhances flexibility.
- Security: The platform includes a secure, hardened Linux environment with embedded security measures like TPM 2.0, encrypted file systems, firewalls, secure protocols (SNMPv3, HTTPS, TLS 1.3), and regular penetration testing, providing resilience against cyber threats.
INTRON-X MODULES-TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
Each module is optimized for key system applications:
- central control, digital device connectivity, analog device and audio handling, discrete input/output processing, and beacon control.
- Their uniquely small form factor allow for three slide-in modules in a single rack unit 19″ chassis, giving you an edge with ever-tighter on-site installation space.
- Combined with dual Ethernet ports serving redundancy plus cyber security purposes, and intelligent power supply solutions, setting up an INDUSTRONIC system is easier, more space-saving and more flexible.
