Ethernet-APL as enabler for digital services in parallel to process control

Ethernet-APL can be used everywhere, where 4 to 20 mA and fieldbus technologies are used today. The field devices and infrastructure products fit perfectly for heavy industries – mainly for greenfield projects but with some modifications also in brownfield.

Ethernet-APL fits to many applications across different industries where some of the following use cases are relevant:
-Explosion hazardous areas
-Asset management for many measuring points
-Efforts for calibration of analog communication loops
-Monitoring and optimization, e.g. by using the 2nd channel
-Easy access to device diagnostics
-Additional process quality information
