Ethernet-APL - Digitization Reaches the Field of Process Industries
Ethernet-APL—Digitization Reaches the Field of Process Industries.
Why use Ethernet-APL? It enables seamless and complete asset integration by joint operation of PROFIBUS PA and PROFINET on one network infrastructure. There is no need to change any cabling or field devices. All this is made possible by our Ethernet-APL rail field switch—even in hazardous areas up to zone 0 with intrinsically safe connections Ex ia IIC.
