Ethernet-APL: Optimization of Process Automation with Actionable Insights

2022-04-01
●Ethernet-APL (advanced physical layer) specifies the details of the application of Ethernet communication to sensors and actuators for the process industry and will be published under the IEC. It is based on the new 10BASE-T1L (IEEE802.3cg-2019)Ethernet physical layer standard, approved on November 7, 2019, and specifies the implementation and explosion protection methods for use in hazardous locations. The leading companies in process automation are working together under the umbrella of PROFIBUS and PROFINET International (PI), ODVA, Inc., and FieldComm Group® to make Ethernet-APL work across Industrial Ethernet protocols and to accelerate its deployment.
●Why is Ethernet-APL important? Ethernet-APL will change the process automa-tion world by enabling high bandwidth, seamless Ethernet connectivity to field devices. It solves the challenges that, to date, have limited the use of Ethernet to the field. These challenges include power, bandwidth, cabling, distance, and use in hazardous locations. By solving these challenges for both brownfield upgrades and new greenfield installations, Ethernet-APL will enable new insights that were previously unavailable, such as combining process variables, second-ary parameters, and asset health feedback and seamlessly communicating them to the control layer.
