Ethernet

Ethernet enables a plant-wide communication from management level down to field device or cell level. The benefits of Ethernet connectivity are constantly updated by different organizations and workgroups to meet the demands for industrial application and to establish standard protocols. PROFINET, Powerlink, EtherCAT, Modbus are the most important standards to evaluate.
