Ethernet communication via multi-wire cable
Industrial Ethernet offers extensive opportunities for industrial communication. Machines and plants can be operated via web-based services using Ethernet, for example. But the network standard is designed for multicore cables with four or eight wires. We also offer solutions for Ethernet communication that make use of traditional two-wire cables. Use existing plant cabling for Ethernet communicat…
