Advantages

  • Transmission of real-time and IT data via a common medium
  • Virtually unlimited number of participants and network expansion
  • Flexible topologies which can easily be scaled and expanded
  • Fast transmission even of extremely large data volumes
  • Integration of web servers or and IoT interfaces such as OPC UA within the device
  • Simple access to device data on field level without proprietary gateways
  • Reliable in operation, no complex termination, simple maintenance
  • Future-proof

Design features

  • Communication according to IEEE 802.3 standard
  • Ethernet switches coordinate data transmission and prevent collisions on the cable
  • Point-to-point connection between switches
  • Simultaneous communication into both send and receive direction
  • Field devices with integral switch function allow line and ring topologies on field level.
  • 100 m cable length between network participants for wire connections (twisted pair)
  • Hybrid networks with different transmission systems (FO cables, WLAN...)
