Inside the Future of Industrial Ethernet Technology

The trend in industrial communications and

automation applications

As the world’s network and information technology becomes more

mature, the trend is to use Ethernet as the major communications interface

in many industrial communications and automation applications. In fact, a

whole new industry has sprung up to provide Ethernet products that

comply with the requirements of demanding industrial applications.

Industrial vs. Commercial

Users have found that when moving Ethernet from the comfortable office

environment to the harsh and less predictable industrial environment, the

commercial Ethernet equipment available in today’s market simply

cannot meet the high reliability requirements demanded by industrial

applications. This means that a more robust type of network equipment,

commonly referred to as industrial Ethernet equipment, is required for

these applications.

Informative vs. Passive

Since industrial Ethernet devices are often located at the endpoints of a

system, such devices cannot always know what’s happening elsewhere on

the network. This means that industrial Ethernet communication

equipment that connects these devices must take responsibility for

providing system maintainers with real-time alarm messages.
