OMNIMATE® Data Ethernet-APL: Reliably connecting field devices in the process industry
Ethernet-compatible interfaces are increasingly needed to access data from the field via IIoT. For the process industry the new technology Ethernet-APL now allows direct access down to the field and device level via an internationally standardized two-wire solution. With this new whitepaper you learn more about the APL technology, possible solutions and benefits.

Ethernet – To the Field
Ethernet with an Advanced Physical Layer (Ethernet-APL™) enables long cable lengths and explosion protection via intrinsic safety with communication and power over two wires. Based on IEEE and IEC standards, Ethernet-APL supports any Ethernet-based automation protocol and will develop into a single, long-term stable technology for the entire process automation community. This white paper covers the business environment, technical specifications, implications for different user types, and the development status of Ethernet-APL until June 2021.
