Analyze Industrial Ethernet and Internet of Things and distinguish their concepts

Industrial Ethernet
Industrial Ethernet is an industrial network developed on the basis of Ethernet technology and TCP/IP technology. In the past, Ethernet was generally used as an office network in commercial applications. Currently, the use of Ethernet in industrial applications has become a hot topic. In the future, industrial Ethernet may become the main form of industrial control network structure, forming a one-network situation. It is required to be compatible with commercial Ethernet in terms of technology, but in terms of product design, it is used to meet the various needs of current industrial operations, and is committed to various aspects such as real-time, reliability, and environmental adaptability.
It is based on powerful regional groups and IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet). Online Industrial Ethernet SIMATIC NET provides seamless integration of the new multimedia world. Intranet, Extranet, and Internet can be used not only in the office field, but also in production and process automation. Following the successful operation of 10M baud Ethernet, 100M baud Fast Ethernet (Fast Ethernet, in accordance with IEEE 802.3u standard) with switching function, full-duplex and adaptive has also been successfully operated for many years. The use of what kind of Ethernet performance depends on the needs of users. Universal compatibility allows users to seamlessly upgrade to new technologies.
Internet of Things
The concept of the Internet of Things can be understood as an extension of the Internet. In the Internet, the terminals used by the Internet are computers (servers). The programs provided to us complete an operation, that is, the computer completes the task of data processing and data transmission in the network. From beginning to end, no other terminal (hardware) other than computers is involved. The essence of the Internet of Things is still the Internet, but the terminal is no longer a computer (PC, server), but an embedded computer system and its supporting sensors. Such as wearable devices, environmental monitoring equipment, virtual reality equipment, etc. As long as there is hardware or products connected to the Internet and data interaction occurs, it is called the Internet of Things.
The Internet of Things is to spread sensors to every corner of our lives, equip them to power grids, railways, bridges, tunnels, roads, buildings, water supply systems, household appliances and other things in our lives, connect them through the Internet, and then complete the operation of specific programs, realize a kind of remote control or realize direct communication between objects. The Internet of Things, that is, through the installation of radio frequency identification (RFID), sensors, QR codes, etc. on various objects, connect them to the wireless network through interfaces, so as to give objects "intelligence", realize communication and dialogue between people and objects, and also realize communication and dialogue between objects. This network that connects objects is called the "Internet of Things".
The two are two different concepts. The core and foundation of the Internet of Things is still built on the Internet, while Industrial Ethernet is a type of the Internet used for industrial purposes. It is an extension and expansion of the Internet; its user end extends and expands to any object to exchange information and communicate, that is, things communicate with each other.
