Many of you will be familiar with Ethernet as a communication platform from your work at the computer. This technology has made the world "smaller". Applications are end-to-end and information can be accessed and transmitted all over the world.

Economic efficiency and integrated functionality are vital in modern machine and plant installations. Ethernet is destined for tasks that are often handled by field buses today and it is also open for future demands.

Economic efficiency

• End-to-end communication.
• Simple installation technology.
• Easy integration into existing networks.
• Global availability of information.

Integrated functionality

• Transparency down to the sensor/actuator level.
• Integrated web server for commissioning and maintenance.
• Economic advantages in installation technology.

Ethernet is not just a replacement for fieldbus technology. Ethernet can do a lot more! However, to fully exploit these resources, designers and users alike must rethink the way they apply the technology. Murrelektronik offers you the solutions!
