Ethernet-APL: Revolutionising Process Automation

Ethernet-APL is setting a new standard for the process industry, delivering secure, high-speed data communication across entire facilities−even in extreme environments.

Designed to meet the demands of Industry 4.0 and IIoT application, Ethernet-APL enhances plant efficiency, safety, and performance with seamless data integration.

Combining fast, reliable data transmission (up to 1000 metres at 10 Mbit/s) with simplified installation through two-wire cables for both data and power, Ethernet-APL minimises costs and installation complexity while ensuring resilience, even in Ex-hazardous areas. Its components, such as APL field devices, APL switches, and IEC 61158-2-compliant Fieldbus cables, streamline communication, supporting advanced diagnostics and device integration.

Available from December 2024, Ethernet-APL will integrate seamlessly with our non-contact radar sensor, VEGAPULS 6X, providing an enhanced solution for the process industry. Extensively tested for stability and durability, Ethernet-APL is the ideal choice for organisations committed to digital transformation.
