Industrial EthernetIndustrial Ethernet for efficient solutions in automation With Industrial Ethernet, a powerful area and cell network is available for industrial applications, in line with standards IEEE 802.3 (ETHERNET) and 802.11 (wirelesss LAN). Today, with a share of over 80%, it is now the network No. 1 worldwide within the LAN environment. Powerful and efficient communication networks with a wide range can be installed via Industrial Ethernet. Base technology for worldwide networking. A multitude of Intranet, Extranet and Internet features - already available in today´s office environment - can also be used in production and process automation. Ethernet technology - successful for many years in connection with switching, full duplex and autosensing - allows users to adjust the required performance within the network to their exact requirements. They can also choose the data rate as required since the system-wide compatibility allows a step-by-step introduction of the new technology. Ethernet has some important properties giving the following advantages: - Fast start-up by most simple wiring methods
- High availability since existing installations can be expanded without any problems
- Practically unlimited communication performance since scalable performance through switching technology and high data rates are available if required
- Networking of the most varied fields of application such as offices and production facilities
- Company-wide communication through the coupling facility via WAN (Wide Area Network) as well as via ISDN or Internet
- No investment risk thanks to the continued and compatible further development
- Reserving of data at industrial wireless LAN (IWLAN)
