Designing Industrial Ethernet Systems for Industry 4.0

Today, more data needs to be moved faster and farther – especially now industrial applications have joined the race to the internet of things. There are pros and cons to each communication protocol - industrial Ethernet is quickly becoming the defacto communications standard. When implementing Ethernet in an industrial environment, it’s important to understand the difference between “conventional” and industrial Ethernet. Additional care must be taken when selecting PHYs and designing boards. But it’s not that hard when you know how.

By the end of this training, you will understand how:

• deterministic Ethernet is helping to optimize system performance in industrial communications
• to ensure reliable Ethernet communications in noisy and harsh industrial environments
• industrial Ethernet is evolving and latest trends on the factory floor and beyond
