A portfolio of more than 50 different Ethernet
devices
The HARTING portfolio includes more than 50 different
future-proof Ethernet devices offering excellent invest-
ment protection. All of these products are suitable for
rail applications and comply with European standard
EN 50155. Furthermore HARTING offers products for
use on buses. These products have European e1 type
approval issued by the German Federal Motor Vehicle
Bureau. The product spectrum ranges from 5-port
IP 20 hubs with RJ45 ports to configurable (managed)
10-port switches with M12 ports.
The portfolio also includes M12 connectors with crimp
connectors for field installation that are compatible with
cabling which is commonly found in the rail industry.
These components form an indispensible part of state-
of-the-air rail passenger information, video surveillance
and fully featured communications systems.
With products from the HARTING portfolio, plug-in
connectors can be configured for a wide range of com-
munications solutions including standard bus systems
(e.g. CAN, MVB, WTB, FIP) and GBit Ethernet (cat6).
Han® connectors are the solution of choice for power
distribution applications including traction and aux-
iliary converters, brake, door and air-conditioning
subsystems and inter-car connections. Standardized
DIN and D-Sub PCB connectors and customized back-
planes are also included in the product range. Han®
connectors comply with the requirements defined in
European specification TS 50467 (electrical connectors
for railway applications).
Stringent quality requirements
HARTING continues to play a leadership role in meeting
the needs to comply with the specific requirements of

Riding the rails without a driver
A new transit system has been introduced in Korea. The K-AGT was developed by the Korea Railway Research Institute
in collaboration with Woojin Industrial Systems. The fully automatic light rail vehicle (LRV) operates without a driver.
Excellent climbing capabilities, very good curve handling characteristics and an environmentally friendly undercar-
riage with rubber wheels are some of the other outstanding features of the rail system. Busan Metropolitan City plans
to operate 102 new trains to replace buses on inter-city routes, and this will also help reduce air pollution.

Han® K3/2
IP 68 inter-car connection
Complete connectivity solutions from HARTING
HARTING provided all of the connectivity systems for
the LRV including power and data connectors and
network components.
A Han® K3/2 connects the traction motor to the power
source. Highly compact axial screw terminals reduce the
time it takes to hook up the motor. Thanks to the IP 68
upper and lower housings, the connector does not take
up any additional space underneath the railcar body.
Audio and video signal distribution systems
Passenger information systems which distribute audio
and video signals in the interior compartments are
now standard equipment on most trains. The chal-
lenge is to find the best onboard signal distribution
solutions between the railway cars. The engineers
who developed the K-AGT prefer coaxial cable for this
application. Han® Coax E contacts in combination with
Han® 48 HPR upper and lower housings are the perfect
plug-in solution for coax inter-car connectivity. Han®
48 HPR upper and lower housings with a special frame
were used for the Han® Coax E at the inter-car con-
nection. Successful completion of vibration and ingress
testing reflect these components’ qualification for this
harsh environment.
HARTING 5-port ESC 67-10 TP05M Ethernet switches
were selected for the passenger information system as
well. These rugged, vibration-proof switches are ideal
for onboard applications.
Coordinated communications between the train and
the control center
DIN 41 612 compliant components have been designed
into the interfaces on the Train Control System (TCS)
that coordinates train operation and communications
between the train and the control center. HARTING
DIN 41 612 connectors are a standard solution for rail
signal transmission applications where high quality
and durability are essential.
HARTING offers tailor-made, high-quality products for
use in rail applications including rugged connectiv-
ity solutions and leading-edge networking equipment
such as Ethernet switches for passenger information
systems.

HARTING IP 20 inter-car connection systems
Inter-car connection cables can be routed on the exterior or interior of rail vehicles. HARTING offers well-engineered
systems for both situations. Cables that are routed externally must offer IP 68 protection. Enclosed connector housings
are not necessary on internal cabling, where the connection between the cars is enclosed in a diaphragm. HARTING
has developed a special solution for these applications, which is based upon an ‘open’ Han® 24 HPR hood and which
offers a number of advantages.

Han Quintax®
IP 20 inter-car connection
Dependable, cost-effective connections
The standard HPR housing has been approved by
the rail industry and is already in use in the field. A
threaded locking mechanism enhances stability and
provides good protection against shock and vibration.
Strain relief is achieved with a strain relief clip or a
corrugated hose adapter with strain relief. Shielding
from several cables can be attached to shielding rings
or clamping brackets to reduce cost. Instead of using
bulkhead or surface mounted housings, the interface at
the car end is screwed directly onto a mounting plate,
which results in a significant reduction in cost and
weight.
Fully preassembled and tested inter-car cables
For this project HARTING supplies a fully preassembled
and tested inter-car connection, pluggable from both
sides by using the described open hood. HARTING ad-
ditionally supplies mounting plates which are attached
to the walls of the cars.
The most popular module for the MVB and WTB signal
is the Han Quintax® module which is part of the highly
successful Han-Modular®-series. The Han DD® module
is used for analogue and digital data signal transmis-
sion, and the Han® 46 EE monoblock is designed for
medium-power applications.
Corrugated hoses which protect the cables are attached
to the open hood using M40 threaded connections.

Complete Ethernet backbone solution for rail vehiclesAn increasing number of electrical and electronic
components are being installed on board trains to
meet increasingly demanding customer expectations
and exploit the capabilities of advanced technologies.
Suitable interconnect solutions are needed for the elec-
trical and electronic components in the new passenger
infotainment, safety, automatic passenger counting and
onboard computer systems.
High-speed signal and data transmission
Highs-speed signal and data transmission is one of
the key engineering challenges on state-of-the-art
trains, and Ethernet delivers viable solutions. A central
backbone is installed on board these trains to support
structured Ethernet networks, and HARTING switches
are the ideal choice for these applications.

eCon 7050 - BPreassembled inter-car connection
Ethernet switches and the Ethernet Backbone
HARTING’s expertise in seamless cabling systems ex-
tends well beyond the company’s broad Ethernet switch
portfolio. HARTING supplies the cabling for an Ethernet
backbone that combines CCTV and automatic passen-
ger counting systems in metro and regional trains.
HARTING supplies all of the connectors and inter-car
cabling between the trains on these projects.
The Ethernet backbone runs throughout the entire
length of the trains, interconnecting the CCTV cameras,
a multi-channel video recorder, digital video encoders
and an LED system status display. A Fast Ethernet
backbone using industrial 5-port Ethernet switches
is installed on each train. Power is supplied from a
110/24 V DC/DC converter. Frames from analog
cameras inside the train are routed through digital
video encoders and the Ethernet network to the digital
recorders. Activation signals from the emergency brake
handles are sent to the onboard systems over the Eth-
ernet using unmanaged HARTING eCon 7050 Ethernet
switches and M12 connectors.
M12 crimp connectors designed to market-specific
customer needs
In addition to Ethernet switches, HARTING M12 con-
nectors with crimp contacts are used on board trains.
The connectors are easy to assemble, and they were
designed specifically to meet market-specific customer
needs. M12 connectors are key Ethernet cabling compo-
nents in a number of onboard subsystems. These M12
connectors with crimp contacts have an extremely low
profile. When the connectors are installed, the plug
is 41.5 mm long, and the socket is 38 mm long. They
can be quickly assembled on site using standard tools.
Panel feed-throughs and adapters for use in and around
control cabinets are also available. All versions have
D-Sub contacts and are rated at 4 A/32 V. They are
designed for AWG 22-20 wire (0.33 – 0.52 mm2), and
they comply with French NFF 16101/102 fire protec-
tion regulations as well as with the American standard
UL 94 V0.
Complete inter-car cable
One of the characteristic features of rail applica-
tions is the inter-car link in the Ethernet network.
Han-Modular®, Han Quintax® and Han® EEE inserts
in HPR upper and lower housings are fitted onto the
power and signal cables which are routed through cor-
rugated plastic hose. In some cases, top-entry upper
housings are used which mate with lower housings that
are mounted on existing angle plates to optimize cable
routing. The wires are “stranded” inside the hoses to
minimize the risk of abrasion. A pivoting threaded hose
connection is used to accommodate the dynamics of
the application.
Interference must be avoided between the power and
signal lines which are routed very close to each other.
The EMI immunity of the HARTING system has been
demonstrated during system testing.

Connectors for automatic train control systems
Endless traffic jams are a common occurrence in large French cities. This situation, along with environmental
protection considerations, means that metro transit systems have to operate 24/7 365 days a year in order to shuffle
millions of passengers quickly and safely to their destinations. Large cities in France have decided to deploy automatic
train control systems, which offer a number of advantages:
l Reduction in minimal allowable operating intervalsl Lower level of manual operation increases timetable reliability l Lower onboard staffing levels reduce operating costs
R a i l C o m m u n i c at i o n s

Automatic train control systems have to be very
reliable
The equipment used on automatic train systems
must be extremely reliable. The fact that systems are
installed on board the trains, along the trackside and
at the respective control centers presents a significant
challenge.
Fully automatic Paris Metro Line 14 sets the example
for other cities
Line 14 on the Paris Metro went into operation in 1998
as the city’s first fully automatic subway line. Travel-
ling at an average speed of 40 km/h and carrying up to
50,000 passengers an hour, the so-called Meteor Line
has been a model of success. Other cities in France are
following this example and are developing automated
train systems to meet their local needs.
HARTING PCBs with HARTING connectors designed
for automatic train control systems
HARTING supplies the PCBs for these automatic train
control systems. These boards, which have up to 16
layers, feature press fit technology. They are 6.8 mm
thick and have a surface area of more than 1,075 cm2.
The PCBs handle CompactPCI and Ethernet signals that
are distributed among more than 25 separated groups
of signals. HARTING metric signal and power connec-
tors are mounted on the PCBs along with analogue
components on both sides.
Compliance with stringent French rail vehicle regula-
tions
HARTING has the know-how to develop, manufacture
and test special, complex backplane solutions capable
of meeting very stringent quality requirements. The
company has many years of in-depth experience in
the rail vehicle market. HARTING is well positioned
to contribute as a supplier to projects like the Meteor
line. Its top notch rail technology portfolio enables the
company to fully comply with the demanding French
rail vehicle regulations.

The Czech rail equipment supplier LOKEL s.r.o. in
Ostrava-Hrabůvka has developed a digital control and
camera system for the new ED74 commuter train which
has four cars and is 80 meters long. LOKEL opted for
HARTING Ethernet switches for this application. Twelve
cameras provide real time surveillance of the passenger
compartments. The system records images from all
cameras in full video stream quality. LOKEL developed
the software for recording and displaying the images
that are captured by the cameras.
The network includesl Video servers for signal transmissionl PC monitors to display the images from the camerasl Industrial PCs to record the imagesl Ethernet switches to provide connectivity between the
network componentsl GSM module for Internet access
The trunking function
An automatic coupler connects the electrical and pneu-
matic lines between trains. An option for the HARTING
Switch sCon 3000 is available, which is the ideal solu-
tion to meet the special requirements of this application
with redundant links, namely the trunking function. A
logical Ethernet connection can be established between
2x2 physical ports using this function. Only one of the
two connections is active during normal operation.
The other connection acts as a backup. If a fault occurs
on the active link, it is automatically shut down and
the backup link is activated without the need for user
intervention.
This simple, cost-effective design also has a proven
track record in automatic coupler applications. The
solution provides safe, dependable performance in the
network under any operating conditions.

HARTING – the network connectivity supplier
The Han Quintax® and HARAX® M12 have helped
HARTING build up an enviable reputation as a network
applications supplier (MVB/WTB, FIP and Ethernet).
HARAX® is a quick-connect technology which was
developed by HARTING. No special tools are needed,
and the connectors meet the shock and vibration re-
quirements of the rail industry. Based on many years of
experience in the rail industry, HARTING has played an
active role in the development of new large projects for
ALSTOM. IRIS certification highlights HARTING’s cre-
dentials as a competent partner in the rail industry. Be-
sides connectors, components and accessories, HARTING
also supplies complete cable harnesses, backplanes and
integrated solutions for the rail industry.

The surveillance system includes a video display
mounted in the driver’s compartment. The display
switches on automatically when the streetcar comes to
a halt after a special stop request for disabled persons
has been activated. A multimedia computer and two
– upgradable up to eight – surveillance cameras are
mounted behind the roof panels in the passenger com-
partment to control the disable persons’ zone and the
entrance area. In the future a route monitoring camera
will optionally be mounted in the driver’s compartment
to record and document events during accidents or criti-
cal traffic situations.
SYCUBE multimedia infotainment displays
The SYCUBE video surveillance system also includes
two SYCUBE multimedia displays per vehicle section
to provide information and entertainment to the pas-
sengers. A dependable HARTING eCon 4080-B1 Ethernet
switch manages communications between the multime-
dia computer and the surveillance monitors. The data
is routed through railway-grade cables. HARTING M12
connectors with crimp contacts are used on the system.
These connectors were developed specifically for rail
applications. Han-Modular® series connectors with
Quintax Z contacts mounted in IP 68 enclosures carry
Ethernet data traffic at the vehicle module intercon-
nections.
For the inter-communication of the devices an Ethernet
bus system that runs across the entire vehicle was
installed. Thereby the amount of cabling could be re-
duced. Beside fast, simple installation, the reduction in
the number of connectors and cable saves a significant
amount of weight.

The connector portfolio
The portfolio of connectors used in these vehicles
includes IP 65 (Han® M) and IP 68 (Han® HPR) prod-
ucts. These Han® series connectors were developed
specifically for very dirty environments and salt air,
which are conditions that commonly occur on the roof
of trains. High-density Han DD® contact inserts also
save space.
HARTING connectors are found in a broad range of other
applications. The Han-Modular® series includes a large
variety of connectors, and they are now used in power
circuits, for example the 100 A axial screw module that
has been designed into the safety circuits on CITADIS
trains.
Product specifications extended to include onboard
instrument communications
HARTING has expanded the product specifications
to include onboard communications management
system on the trains, and ALSTOM has approved the
Han Quintax® for the FIP and MVB networks. To cope
with the increased number of operational management
(SAE) and passenger information systems onboard the
new CITADIS trains, ALSTOM has installed Ethernet
networks as standard equipment and selected the Han
Quintax® as the connectors.
HARTING connectors also used for internal connec-
tions
ALSTOM has also selected HARTING connectors for use
inside the CITADIS streetcars. The M12 with crimp
terminals has been approved to connect the different
onboard systems (ticket systems, passenger counting,
etc.).
The EASY PLUG system deserves special mention. It
is based on the DIN POWER series and allows plug-in
cards to be inserted “blindly” into a slot without the risk
of faulty connections or destruction of the backplane
plug.
By consolidating multiple media in a single enclosure,
ALSTOM has rationalized its connection system and
created a standardized design for every application.

power converters play an important role in these appli-
cations. High-current connectors are needed to ensure
that the power converters support modular system
design of railcar trains and fast, flexible installation
and maintenance.
HARTING’s Han® HC Modular connectors rated at 650 A /
4000 V deliver dependable performance in these
demanding applications. The compact axial screw
terminals save space, and they are mounted in a
Han® HPR housing (IP 68) which is designed spe-
cifically for external mounting. HC Modular connectors
make a vital contribution to the design and production
of modular rail vehicles.
Two goals of modular design
Modularization of traction systems has two goals.
Modular design is intended to increase electrical and
mechanical component standardization, and it also
ensures maximum component flexibility to deliver
fast, low-cost customization solutions in response to
customer needs. The main focus is on power supply
and electrical power conversion.

During development of this PowerPack, the engineers
concentrated on the integration of all essential system
components (traction transformer, traction power con-
verter, cooling system and power conversion control)
to create a comprehensive system and design solution.
HARTING power connectors provide the electrical
interface between the PowerPack and other modules.
Connections to the traction transformer and traction
power converters are implemented exclusively with
Han® HC Modular 350 A and 650 A high-current con-
nectors. The connectors along with cable assemblies
are delivered by the transformer and power converter
supplier for installation in the rail vehicle, and all of
these components are tested and ready to install on
delivery.

RFID freight car identificationExtreme operating conditions including dirt and heat
have made it difficult to deploy identification systems
for freight cars and their loads. The deployment of RFID
technology, however, is capable of delivering significant
benefits in this area. Since the introduction of the EPC
Gen2 RFID protocol and UHF transponders that can
be mounted on metallic surfaces, logistics companies
and systems integrators have turned their attention
to rail freight applications. The data rates between
the transponders and readers are so high that the ID
numbers can be read at speeds of 80 – 100 km/h. This
could prove to be a crucial advantage in the highly
competitive rail freight logistics market.
Highly accurate information despite exposure to
extreme heat
Initial rail freight monitoring systems using RFID
technology have already been installed in the field.
High-temperature transponders, for example, have been
designed for a particularly challenging application at a
copper smelter. The system integrator Marie-Bentz has
mounted HARTING HARfid transponders on freight cars
that carry hot slag. A freight car with a gross capacity
of 120 tons has a metal tank that is lined with masonry
to withstand the high temperatures. The ID number and
results of the automatic weighing operation are stored

on the tags. The data provides information about the
remaining copper concentration in the slag, and this
significantly improves recovery of the residual copper
from the slag. The solutions also ensures a high freight
car utilization factor and constant availability of suf-
ficient material transport capacity. The transponders
are wrapped in asbestos fabric to protect them from
uncontrolled splashing during discharging. The
horizontal distance between the reader and the tags is
around five meters, and the minimal spacing between
two tags is one meter so that the cars can be identified
individually.
24/7 operation
During the slag tapping process at the copper blast
furnace, passive HARfid LT 86 (HT) UHF transponders
continue to work flawlessly at high temperatures in
close proximity to the hot slag. The rugged design of
the hermetically sealed housing and the use of plastic
with an extremely high melting point ensure that the
transponders continue to operate fault-free around the
clock.

Railway asset monitoring – maximum precision at top speed
Fast, accurate rolling stock monitoring is a major issue for rail infrastructure operators. ARGOS® monitoring units
collect accurate, dependable data at operating speeds. The data is then used to assess the dynamic operating char-
acteristics of the trains.
A rugged, high-quality cable loom supplied by HARTING reduces installation time and costs, while enhancing the
performance of the ARGOS monitoring equipment.

Han® M 3 A HARTING stainless steel box
HARTING cable loom for ARGOS® monitoring units
The Austrian National Railway (ÖBB) has joined forces
with HBM (Hottinger Baldwin Messtechnik) and other
partners to develop the ARGOS ® monitoring system.
The purpose of the system is to optimize maintenance
of fixed and rolling stock. The data supplied by ARGOS®
can also be used to verify the operational safety of rail
vehicles which will run on the railway and to detect and
correct any deficiencies at an early stage.
Depending on the particular need, the ARGOS® system
can be configured in four versions and levels:
l Level 1 Derailment detection l Level 2 Automatic train monitoring
(Q force, wheel deformation)l Level 3 Automatic train monitoring with anti-
derailment safety sensors
(Q and Y force, vehicle running charac-
teristics, wheel deformation, rail vehicle
approval)l Level 4 EN 14 363 curved track
HARTING supplies the complete system cabling and
components

WESTRACE Interlocking Signalling System
State-of-the-art
Over the many years of component and backplane
supply HARTING has introduced new press-in termina-
tion technology and lead free RoHS components and
processes to the product production in order to meet
both legislative and commercial market requirements.
In its original design form the backplane utilised all
solder termination connectors and components. One
side of the board could be flow soldered however the
components on the other side were terminated using a
hand solder process which was considered to be labour
intensive and the required termination soldering qual-
ity levels were extremely demanding. Solderless press
in connector termination technology was successfully
introduced to eliminate the expensive hand soldering
process. RoHS compliance has also been achieved by
the introduction of lead free components; wave solder-
ing and surface mount processes.
Top quality for very demanding applications
The processing power and robust, reliable performance
of WESTRACE has been proven in extreme conditions
and demanding situations, from Australia to Norway
and on high intensity Metro Systems to long distance,
heavy haul lines.
Customer – supplier synergy
HARTING and Westinghouse Rail Systems Limited have
both benefited from continuous product development
and supplier/customer cooperation over the product
lifecycle. Ultimately significant technological contribu-
tions have been achieved towards safe and reliable rail
transport systems. HARTING backplane
