More efficient processes with Ethernet APL
Digitalization not only contributes to greater sustainability, but also promotes increased efficiency. This requires intelligent, seamlessly networked measurement technology. The networking of field devices offers great potential for improving system performance. However, 97% of field data have so far remained unused, according to this company. Thanks to Ethernet Advanced Physical Layer (APL; photo), it is now possible for devices in the process industry to communicate with each other at high speed and over a distance of up to 1,000 m. This company will show that Ethernet APL is a key technology that closes the gap in the automation pyramid towards the field level, and thus opens doors for more efficient processes, the company says.
