Field-level data can be used in real time for process control, monitoring, and diagnostics. The devices feature an optimized firmware user guide for intuitive configuration, easy commissioning, and enhanced diagnostic functions. Their compact and lightweight design allows for compact mounting and in-line installation in the control cabinet.
Thanks to Ethernet-APL's Power Class A compatibility, the switches provide an efficient power supply for field equipment. Furthermore, both variants are certified worldwide and can therefore be used globally in Ex-zone applications. The twelve-port switches help customers utilize Ethernet-APL in a broader range of greenfield applications – particularly in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, marine and offshore applications, as well as oil and gas, mining, and biomass plants, including demanding Ex environments.
