The field switch combines the two basic functions: "Ethernet switch" and "Ex i isolator". The field switches are robust and ruggedised for use in the harsh environment of the proce...
Ethernet-APL (Ethernet Advanced Physical Layer) is the new 2-wire solution for Ethernet in the process industry. It makes fast Ethernet available down to field level and in hazardous areas, which is the
Transparent connection of Ethernet-APL field devices to higher-level Industrial Ethernet networks
The APL field switch implements enhanced network security and supports SNMPv3, the locking of unused ports, and the HTTPS protocol.
Ethernet-APL enables fast, standardized Ethernet communication down to field level, even in hazardous areas. While the technology simplifies engineering, commissioning, and
Ethernet-APL rail field switch with 24 intrinsically safe Ex ic spur ports and screw terminals with proxy support selectable for PROFIBUS PA field devices. Contact us for estimated delivery.
16-port APL Ethernet field switch with integrated PA proxy for Zone 2 hazardous environments. Reliable industrial connectivity for process automation.
Ethernet-APL field switches are available for installation in Zones 1 and 2 and are directly operated by an industrial 4-wire 100 MBps Ethernet backbone via PROFINET, EtherNet/IP or HART-IP, for example.
For the specific requirements of the process industry, Ethernet-APL team also features additions, such as the intrinsically safe connection and supply of field devices via Zone 1 and Zone 2 field switches.
The Ethernet-APL rail field switch is perfectly suited for compact plant layouts. In addition to the performance features for IIot applications, it provides everything that is typical for FieldConnex and
The Ethernet-APL switches allow you to integrate APL sensors and field devices into an existing Ethernet network. This allows you to provide direct access to data from the field level.
