At the Achema fair in June 2021 Ethernet-APL was introduced. This technology is based on a 2-wire Ethernet that conveys information as well as energy to the sensors and actuators of the automation system. Ethernet-APL is based on the 2-wire Ethernet standard IEEE 802.3cg running at 10 Mbit/s. An additional specification, the Ethernet-APL Port Profile Specification, defines additional parameters for the use of the technology in the process industry, especially in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres. As a next step, potential users need to become familiar with the engineering process of Ethernet-APL networks. For this purpose, the Ethernet-APL project provides the Ethernet-APL Engineering Guideline that covers the main areas of planning, installation and acceptance testing.}, subject = {Ethernet}, language = {en} }
