Abstract:
We cordially invite you to a discussion on Ethernet enabled Control, Instrumentation, and Power Products. Almost every supplier of Process Control and Electrical Equipment has incorporated Ethernet communications into their products. Come and join us to see what is new in this exciting area, and why so many companies are utilizing this technology.
Agenda:
- Industrial Ethernet Overview – The Convergence of Control and Information
- Trends in Industrial Networks
- Fundamentals of Ethernet & Ethernet/IP
- Segmenting and Prioritizing
- Resiliency and Redundancy
- Physical Layer Considerations
- Securing Industrial Networks

Presentation Notes:
Industrial use of Ethernet began before prior to 2000. It began by stringing several industrial controllers together. In about 2004, we started taking data and using it for control. From then on, people wanted only more and more data from which to form control decisions. By about 2006, data was flowing anywhere in the system. By 2009, the system was fully wired from the basic devices up to the corporate offices.
