Beckhoff: Ethernet-APL – A New Communication Standard for the Process Industry

As digitalization continues in the process industry, the volumes of data provided by intelligent sensors and actuators are also growing. For a long time, however, there was no communication standard to transmit this data quickly and across multiple levels of the automation structure. Certain properties have to be present for use in process industry plants, such as the ability to connect field devices over long distances and the ensuring of explosion protection. Thus, to meet these requirements, process industry organizations and companies have developed the Ethernet Advanced Physical Layer (Ethernet-APL). This new communication technology is based on the 10BASE-T1L Ethernet standard, which allows a maximum cable length of 1000 meters and a transmission rate of 10 Mbit/s. Power supply limits in all zones throughout the hazardous area are defined by IEC specification 60079-47 (2-WISE). Power and data are transmitted over the same pair of wires (single pair Ethernet) with Ethernet-APL.

ManuAuto: Efficient Power Monitoring at the Edge – Moxa’s DCI Solutions for Data Centers

As data centers grow in higher densities to support AI-enabled workloads and more complicated operations, keeping the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) at optimum is critical at this time. Downtime is never acceptable. Also, without being able to see electrical systems in real-time, such as substations, UPS, switchgear, and HVAC, failures will take place, and reaction times will be delayed. Newer generation data facilities will face more and more constant pressure to maintain low PUE alongside the increasing pressures of power consumption. Continuity of power depends on smart and resilient connectivity across data center infrastructure (DCI). All energy systems need to operate in concert for continuous operations. Moxa industrial-grade networking solutions keep data center power systems connected, efficient, and secured through reliable, secure, and scalable communications. Engineers can download the solution guide and success case for more information or meet with a solution expert to receive customized recommendations.
