Ruud van den Brink argues that Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is essential to helping the IIoT drive industrial automation forward and that now is the time to embrace this technology.
In the process industry 4-20 mA technology is still the standard. New technologies will need to measure up, above all to its simplicity and reliability. Ethernet-APL, an enhanced physical layer for single-pair Ethernet (SPE) based on 10BASET1L, looks set to achieve this. Ronny Becker and Andreas Hennecke report.
Glenn Schulz highlights the importance of real-time IT/OT data access when it comes to improving efficiency and productivity.
Stuart McKay, explains more about the benefits that Single-pair Ethernet (SPE), the latest development in Ethernet data communications, looks set to bring to the industrial sector.
