Phoenix Contact: New Versions of the Ethernet-APL Switch with Twelve Ports – Compact Design, Worldwide Approvals
Phoenix Contact’s new Ethernet-APL switches enable the two-wire Ethernet connection of devices and sensors in the Ex-zones of process technology applications (“Ethernet in the field”). This allows sensors and devices from the field level to be connected directly to the system’s Ethernet network. The data from the field level can be used in real time for process control, monitoring, and diagnostics.
