2.3 Intended use description for industrial inductive
couplers
Industrial inductive couplers are designed for the contactless transmission of power via
small air gaps in industrial machines or systems. They are designed to increase system
reliability by eliminating mechanical wear, reducing maintenance and enabling flexible
machine and production concepts. Their use is particularly beneficial in environments
where cables, connectors or slip rings would suffer from mechanical stress, contamina-
tion or frequent disconnection cycles.
Some possible applications are described below:
Robotics and automated tool changing
Inductive couplers are used to supply power and communication to robotic end-effectors
and exchangeable tools. By eliminating plug connections, they support rapid tool
changes, minimize downtime, and ensure reliable transmission even under dynamic
movement and vibration.
Mobile workpiece carriers and conveyor systems
They enable power transfer to mobile transport units or workpiece carriers without me-
chanical connectors. This supports flexible production concepts.
Rotating systems
In rotary tables, rotating grippers, and other continuously rotating equipment, inductive
couplers replace slip rings, offering a maintenance-free solution for uninterrupted power
transfer.
Hygienic and sterile environments
For applications in sterilization systems or hygienic manufacturing areas, inductive cou-
plers provide a sealed, wear-free interface. They avoid contamination risks associated
with mechanical connectors and maintain performance under frequent cleaning cycles.
Machine tools and general industrial automation
Inductive couplers supply sensors, actuators, and interchangeable modules within
presses, assembly stations, and handling systems. They prevent cable fatigue, especially
in harsh mechanical environments.
NEARFI
12 / 96 Phoenix Contact
110718_en_02
Transfer through non-metallic barriers
They support contactless transmission through plastic or composite walls, allowing en-
capsulated installations where direct electrical connections are undesirable or impossi-
ble.
Auxiliary power and galvanically isolated supply systems
Inductive couplers can serve as galvanically isolated auxiliary power sources, supporting
applications that require high isolation or safe power delivery to moving components.

4.1 Functional principle
NearFi couplers transmit power and real-time Ethernet data contactless across an air gap
of just a few centimeters.
For contactless transmission, you will need at least two devices:
– One base coupler
– One or more remote couplers
You can combine as many remote couplers with a base coupler as you like, and vice versa.
Power transmission
The base coupler transmits the power inductively to the remote coupler.
The NearFi couplers transmit 50 W without contact. The base coupler tries to connect to
the remote coupler by means of active power polling. Power transmission between the
base and remote couplers only becomes active once the connection has been estab-
lished.
The 24-V output voltage is kept at an output current of 2 A by an active closed-loop con-
trol circuit until the maximum transmission distance is reached.
Data transmission
Data is transmitted with two 60 GHz connections in parallel (one uplink and one down-
link). Separate frequency bands are used to enable full duplex mode. NearFi enables con-
tactless communication in real time and is completely independent of protocols.

4.2.2 1:n transmission
You can combine as many remote couplers with a base coupler as you like, and vice versa.
Example: tool change
The base coupler is typically mounted on the robot arm. Each tool (number n) gets a
remote coupler. As soon as a remote coupler comes into the vicinity of the base coupler,
the connection is established automatically.
Addressing is not required, as only one remote coupler and one base coupler are facing
each other at a time.

4.2.3 Fields of application
In automation, power and data are mostly transmitted via connectors. Connectors that
have to be frequently unplugged and plugged in again have a limited service life. Their
contacts become misshapen and worn. This leads to unplanned and unforeseeable pro-
duction stoppages and regular maintenance intervals. Contactless real-time communica-
tion systems can provide a solution.
Robot tool change
In maintenance-intensive applications, such as tool changes on robots, you can easily re-
place wear-prone and maintenance-intensive connections with NearFi couplers, thus
minimizing downtime costs.
Material transport systems
Communicate without contact between workpiece carriers and processing stations with
NearFi couplers. Replace slip rings on turntables and rotary tables with wear-free cou-
plers.

4.2.4 Operating modes
When it comes to supplying external devices, a distinction is made between two voltages:
– US: Communications power and sensor supply
– UA: Actuator supply
To supply other devices, the NearFi couplers forward the voltages.
Power supply US
The power supply US supplies the communications power of the device electronics as
well as the sensors.
• Connect this supply voltage to each NearFi base coupler. The device will not work if
the voltage is not present.
• Install the power supply for the device electronics independently of the voltage sup-
ply for the actuators.
• Protect the power supplies independently. In this way, the network can continue to
run, even if some I/O devices are switched off.
Power supply UA
The power supply UA supplies the actuators.

CAUTION: Electrical voltage
Make sure that the device is disconnected from the power supply before opening
the screw plug.
• Select the operating mode only when the power is disconnected.
• The change is activated after renewed power up.
NOTE: Electrostatic discharge
Electrostatic discharge can damage or destroy components.
• When handling the device, observe the necessary safety precautions against
electrostatic discharge (ESD) in accordance with EN 61340-5-1 and IEC 61340-
5-1.
– In the delivery state, all DIP switches are in the “OFF” position.
– For NEARFI 200/300, the DIP switches have no function.
• Ensure that the device is disconnected from the power supply.
• Ensure that the surroundings are clean so that foreign objects cannot penetrate into
the device.

4.6.1 DIP 1, range
DIP switch 1 can be used to set two transmission ranges with different ranges. The range
option is only available for NEARFI 2000.
40 mm ... 100 mm (DIP 1 = ON)
If you activate DIP 1, you can achieve a greater range and greater offset for data trans-
mission. Please note that the LFPT function is no longer supported.
0 mm ... 40 mm (DIP 1 = OFF)
Default setting, LFPT is supported
4.6.2 DIP 2, ETH
ETH full duplex (DIP 2 = ON)
Fixed configuration of Ethernet interface X2:
– 100 Mbps, full duplex
– No auto negotiation
– No auto crossing
– MDI-X
The RX and TX cables in the Ethernet port are inverted. You can use standard patch
cables with 1-to-1 connection or straight connection.
– Fast startup (FSU)
This function enables fast startup of the external PROFINET device. The device is
ready for operation in less than 500 ms. Note that the “Fast startup/prioritized
startup” function must be activated on all Ethernet devices in the network.
Disabling crossover detection changes the pin assignment of the network connec-
tion to “Crossover” on the remote coupler.
• Select the connecting cable according to the connected device:
– Crossover cable with same port assignment
– Patch cable with different port assignment
ETH auto neg (DIP 2 = OFF)
Settings for Ethernet interface X2:
– Auto negotiation, 100 Mbps, half or full duplex
– Auto crossing (RX/TX crossover)

110718_en_02
4.6.3 DIP 3, LFPT
The LFPT function is only available for NEARFI 2200 and NEARFI 2000.
Activate LFPT via DIP switch 3. This allows faults to propagate globally through the sys-
tem, or stay local to each link segment.
LFPT, global (DIP 3 = ON)
In the event of a link loss between the base and remote coupler, the couplers shut down
the copper ports. Connection to the connected Ethernet devices is therefore also inter-
rupted. The connection error is forwarded by the port shutdown.
– LFPT provides information on the status of the entire connection.
– EtherCAT® loopback applications are supported.
Please note that LFPT increases the switch-on time. If you require the “Fast start-
up/prioritized startup” function, you need to disable LFPT.
No LFPT, local (DIP 3 = OFF)
The devices may not detect an interruption in the wireless connection. Either the con-
nected device does not know that communication is interrupted. Diagnostics are not pos-
sible. Or the device is constantly trying to restore the connection. This increases the net-
work load and the application response time.
Product description
110718_en_02 Phoenix Contact 43 / 102
4.7 Ethernet
Physical interfaces usually provide an auto negotiation function. As soon as the physical
connection is established between two Ethernet physical layers, the communication pa-
rameters are automatically negotiated. Negotiation can take several seconds.
On the whole, auto negotiation is practical for Ethernet communication. If auto negotia-
tion is active, the fast startup function of industrial protocols, such as PROFINET FSU, is
not supported.
Fast startup
If you require the “Fast startup/prioritized startup” function, you need to disable auto ne-
gotiation on the NearFi couplers. Then use a fixed configuration.
• If required, disable auto negotiation. Set DIP 2 to ON, see page 40.
Link fault pass through (LFPT)
LFPT is required in some applications, e.g., EtherCAT® with loopback function. If the wire-
less connection between the base and remote coupler is lost, the Ethernet port on the
base side is switched off.
• If necessary, enable LFPT. Set DIP 3 to ON, see page 40.
NEARFI
44 / 102 Phoenix Contact

4.8 Switch-on time (operational readiness time)
Connection establishment between the base and remote is dependent on many different
parameters, such as:
– Approach speed
– Approach angle
– Connected end devices
Data transmission (NEARFI 2200 and NEARFI 2000)
The interface parameters stored on the Ethernet end device also influence the switch-on
time. Auto negotiation and LFPT, for example, delay connection establishment.
General conditions for measurement:
– Fixed setting of 100 Mbps, full duplex, fast startup (DIP 2 = ON)
– LFPT disabled (DIP 3 = OFF)
– PROFINET controller in combination with a PROFINET device
– Spacing of 5 mm, without offset
– Start point of measurement: 24 V is output at the remote coupler
– End point of measurement: Ethernet data is output at the remote coupler
Result:
↪ Maximum switch-on time: < 450 ms
Power coupler (NEARFI 200)
General conditions for measurement:
– Load: 1 A
– Spacing of 5 mm, without offset

The following diagrams show typical operating ranges with the permissible offset.
– The specified operating range applies in the case of optimal thermal connection.
– Optimum operating range for all versions:
– Transmission distance: 5 mm
– Lateral offset: 0 mm
– Angular offset: 0°
– The specifications for offset apply if the cables of the base and remote coupler exit in
the same direction, see 4.9 “Positioning of the devices”.
– If the cables exit in different directions, the operating range is limited, similar to that
of rotating applications. In this case, the maximum permissible lateral offset is
±2.5 mm.

4.10 Obstacles in the air gap
Transmission through non-metallic materials is possible, e.g.,:
– Glass
– Plastic
– Oil, liquids
– Wood
The material thickness influences the attenuation and therefore the transmission
distance.
Example, NEARFI 2200:
Actual air gap + material thickness ≤ 10 mm
4.11 Foreign objects in the air gap
The impact of any foreign matter depends on the quantity of the material and the relevant
application.
Keep the air gap free of metallic soiling, such as metal shavings.
If metal foreign objects are present in the air gap, power transmission is stopped straight
away when there is no immediate response from the remote coupler. The foreign objects
remain at a thermally low mean value.
Metal dust
Metal dust that falls off the active surface or only adheres in small quantities has no sig-
nificant impact. However, if a large amount of ferromagnetic dust permanently adheres
to the active surface, e.g., in conjunction with a machine lubricant, transmission will be
adversely affected.
Cooling water
A small amount of cooling water that drips off or evaporates after a short time has little
effect on transmission. However, persistent wetting or a wall of water will impair data
transmission in the 60 GHz band.
Oil, machine lubricant
Oil or machine lubricant has little effect on transmission. The attenuation is negligible.

4.15.1 Derating curve
The derating curve shows the dependence of the maximum permissible ambient tem-
perature on the following factors:
– Thermal connection of the coupler housing
– Current strength or load at the remote output
The current strength is not dependent on the width of the air gap or the offset of the de-
vices.
Please note that the lower derating value of the respective item version applies for paral-
lel operation.

5.1 Mounting and removal
CAUTION:
Observe the safety notes in Section “For your safety” on page 5.
NOTE: Device damage
– Only mount and remove devices when the power supply is disconnected.
– Mount the device on a flat, load-bearing surface or profile.
– Use standard M5 or M6 screws (ISO 4762 or hexalobular internal screws) and
spring washers.
– Observe the maximum torque of the screws.
– Select the installation location so that metal objects cannot enter the air gap be-
tween the base and the remote.
You can secure the devices in three different ways. This allows the devices to be mounted
flexibly, e.g., on a profile or bracket, on a machine, etc.

5.2 Connecting cables
• Put protective caps on unused connection sockets to ensure an IP65 degree of pro-
tection.
• To prevent untight seals and damage, tighten the M12 connectors to the recom-
mended tightening torque.
– Recommended tightening torque: 0.4 Nm
5.2.1 Calculating the cable lengths
The voltage drop on the cables is calculated according to the following formula:
U
A
= I × R × 2
Example 1
Line resistance of a 4 x 1.5 mm² power supply cable, cable type 105 (e.g., SAC-4P-...-
105/M12FSL) = 12 Ω/km
– At 2 A:
U
A
= 2 A × 12 Ω/km × 2 = 48 V/km
Corresponds to 0.48 V for 10 m
Example 2
Line resistance of a 4 x 2.5 mm² power supply cable, cable type PUR (e.g., SAC-4P-...-
PUR/M12FSL) = 7 Ω/km
– At 1.5 A:
U
A
= 1.5 A × 7 Ω/km × 2 = 21 V/km
Corresponds to 0.21 V for 10 m

When the base coupler is supplied with power, it will try to connect to the remote coupler.
The LED ring on the base coupler flashes green. If the LED ring on the remote coupler re-
mains off, the devices are either too far away from each other or there is an overload or
short circuit on the remote coupler.
In this case, the remote coupler automatically switches off the output voltage. It cycli-
cally tries to switch it back on again. The cycle time depends on the output current.
