Ethernet-APL will become the new standard for 2-wire Ethernet. It is specifically optimised for the process industry and enables digital structures to be established. But there are other reasons why we're excited about Ethernet-APL.
How do you go about planning an Ethernet-APL network? What do you need for it? How do explosion protection and intrinsic safety work? You have a lot of questions – we have the answers.
Why remote I/O and Ethernet-APL form the perfect combination
Ethernet-APL or remote I/O? The best solution is the combination. Find out why remote I/O is the ideal complement to Ethernet-APL for the digitalisation of the process industry.
Remote I/O systems convince through flexibility. This is proven by the following FAQs. They tell you what you really need to know about remote I/O systems.
Would you like to digitise process systems to make the most of opportunities such as predictive maintenance, improved connectivity or new findings obtained from big data? Remote I/O helps with you digitalisation and achieves savings.
Diagnostics from Ethernet-APL networks take on an important role in day-to-day practice. Users who until now have relied exclusively on their multimeters now need to have a rethink.
Light and light energy can ignite explosive atmospheres. This article will provide a brief overview of the requirements and current technology in optical explosion protection.
Manufacturers and user organisations have collaborated over the past few years to develop solutions that will make Ethernet suitable for use in the harsh everyday conditions of the process industry, and are planning to present products soon.
Leading manufacturers and organisations are continuing to drive the development of intrinsically safe Ethernet concepts, and playing an active part in shaping new platform solutions for digital industrial automation.
