Industrial plants have long used digital data to monitor and control their production facilities. Large network systems in factories, data centers, and commercial buildings have been increasingly pushing the boundaries of their digital information networks into the real physical world.

For many industrial applications, transmitting data over long distances and across different levels presents a significant challenge. In some cases, not only data but also power must be transmitted from the switch to the sensor. Companies that need to meet this special requirement can now turn to Weidmüller's unmanaged 10Base-T1L SPE switch as a pioneering solution.

Siemens expands its range of temperature measurement devices with the Sitrans TH420 PA and Sitrans TF420 PA transmitter duo. Both devices feature Profibus connectivity, advanced safety functions, and quick commissioning, all in a single unit.

Single Pair Ethernet reduces data transmission to a single pair of twisted wires and enables data rates of up to 1 Gbit/s over distances of up to 1000 meters. It supports multipoint networks, simultaneous power over data (PoDL), and hybrid installations over a single cable, reducing cabling costs. Existing infrastructure can continue to be used depending on the application. SPE creates standardized Ethernet-based communication from the sensor to the cloud and is a key technology for Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

Mouser is now distributing the new Catan C1 EN building automation controllers from Phoenix Contact.
