Ethernet-APL Technical Paper Published - in Collaboration with ODVA, OPC and Profibus
Ethernet-APL is an enhanced physical layer for single-pair Ethernet (SPE) based on 10BASET1L. It will enable long cable lengths and explosion protection via intrinsic safety with communication and power over two wires.
Based on IEEE and IEC standards, Ethernet-APL supports any Ethernet-based automation protocol and will develop into a single, long-term stable technology for the entire process automation community.
