Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) has been gaining attention in recent years. Suzanne Gill finds out more about its possibilities, potential applications and its advantages, when compared to conventional industrial Ethernet solutions.

Tom Burke explains why selecting the right network technology is a key step in enhancing sustainability in manufacturing.

Sander Rotmensen looks at the potential for 5G for industrial applications where remote access to distance equipment is required.

John Browett discusses how industrial communication solutions can help end-users reap the benefits of the edge. 

Steven Fales explains why end-users should be looking to move intelligence to the edge. He discusses the role of industrial communication standards in helping organisations make this move.

The dream has become reality – says Stefan Hoppe – one accepted operational technology (OT) to information technology (IT) connection based on OPC UA via MQTT and supported by all major vendors.

John Browett explains how to fit TSN within existing platforms and communications protocols.

Ian Loudon explores what is needed for industry to overcome monitoring and control challenges in applications where assets are dispersed over a wide area.

How do you ensure all devices and Ethernet nodes in a system are connected so that operators receive the critical data they need to maintain continuous operations? Moxa highlights three key criteria for choosing unmanaged Ethernet switches.

Jeremy Shinton explains how TSN-compatible automation components can create agile and futureproof factories.

When the gas metering division of a customer in Malaysia needed a way to provide redundancy and high measurement resolution for metering skids, Moore Industries offered a solution with its HES HART to Ethernet Gateway System.

We find out from the ODVA how Ethernet is cost-effectively traversing the last mile to field devices in industrial applications.

Find out how FDT 3.0-based solutions can help industrial personnel work smarter, faster, safer and more effectively. 

Alexander Weber discusses the beneficial relationship that IO-Link Wireless and 5G can offer in industrial applications.

Well-engineered design, which takes into account the physical environment, safety, and security will help make wireless control the new normal in factories and plants around the globe.

Paul Sereiko highlights how the HART technology has been developed, alongside other technologies, to allow it to continue to meet the needs of the industry marketplace.

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.
