Today, classic Ethernet is the leading standard for data networks in office environments. "Industrial Ethernet" describes the enhancements allowing the use of Ethernet even for sophisticated applications in industrial automation.
Industrial Ethernet has many technical advantages:Transmission of real-time and IT data via a common mediumVirtually unlimited number of participants and network expansionFlexible topologies which can easily be scaled and expandedQuick transmission even of extremely large data volumesIntegration of web servers and IoT interfaces such as OPC UA within the deviceSimple access to field level device data without proprietary gatewaysReliable in operation, no complex termination, simple maintenanceFuture proof
