Compared with traditional fieldbuses, Ethernet can provide faster speeds, better handle large amounts of data, and ultimately save more money through excellent energy efficiency and more efficient equipment. PROFINET, Modbus TCP and EtherNet/IP are all excellent examples of how to implement demanding and scalable industrial automation networks based on ubiquitous technologies such as Ethernet. In factories, Ethernet's advantages have always been its familiarity and flexibility - it can unify industrial and office networks, surpass fieldbuses in key areas such as bandwidth, and directly support TCP/IP.
ADI recently released three technical articles on Ethernet in the automation industry, as follows: "Ethernet in the Automation Industry Part 1: Advantages and Functions of Industrial Ethernet Solutions" Content Summary: Mainly explains the importance of Ethernet in the automation industry and introduces its advantages over traditional fieldbuses. 《Ethernet in Automation Part 2: Ethernet/IP in Plantwide Automation》 Content Summary: Introduces EtherNet/IP and examines how to implement EtherNet/IP in plantwide automation and control systems. 《Ethernet in Automation Part 3: Modbus TCP and PROFINET》 Content Summary: Overview and summary of CPwE (Converged Plantwide Ethernet Architecture), introduction to Modbus TCP and PROFINET for interoperable interconnected networks.
