Technologies
Which technologies will determine the future of mechanical and plant engineering, data communication, the food industry or the much-discussed energy policy?
It is clear that without technological innovations, there would be no further groundbreaking advances and developments in the automation of processes. In the interaction between factories and computer systems, as well as in product development, we need to constantly further develop what we have to create new things.
PROFINET
PROFINET is more than just a data transmission protocol based on Ethernet technology. It is a standard that establishes high-performance networks and as a result enables efficient automation in smart factories. PROFINET is a must in an industrial environment.
Direct Current
Low-loss transport of electricity over long distances, optimum integration of renewable energies and maximum reliability – direct current cables offer pioneering advantages for the energy revolution of tomorrow.
Single Pair Ethernet
Single-pair Ethernet cables are copper cables that contain just one twisted core pair (single pair) and are primarily intended for data transmission in industrial applications. Conventional Ethernet cables from the LAN sector or industrial Ethernet cables have two or four core pairs, depending on the data transmission rate. Single Pair Ethernet is a lean, lightweight and material-saving development of the industrial Ethernet. SPE enables a consistent and uniform network infrastructure right up to the field level. The Ethernet networking of the field devices, such as sensors and actuators, enables real-time data to be collected and analysed.
Ethernet Advanced Physical Layer
Ethernet APL enables data transmission via Ethernet up to the field level. The technology enables intrinsic safety for areas at risk of explosion, especially for challenging applications in the process industry. In addition, distances of up to 1000 metres can be bridged. LAPP offers an extensive portfolio for setting up Ethernet APL networks with Single Pair Ethernet cables.
