Industrial Networking
Black-channel approach to functional safety
For easier commissioning and better performance, take a black-channel approach to functional safety, combined with the advantages of EtherCAT.
Making good use of IO-Link
There are many applications that can benefit from using the IO-Link communication protocol.
Industrial 5G fieldbus in R15 enhanced mobile broadband
5G technologies are in three parts; even in the first, it’s possible to communicate with industrial communications protocols. A fieldbus protocol can be used for industrial 5G, over the 5G R15 enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB).
The value of penetration testing ICS/OT environments
There are several considerations to make when companies decide it’s time to order a pentest for industrial control system (ICS) and operational technology (OT) environments.
Time-sensitive networking for industrial applications
A primer on IEC/IEEE 60802 TSN Profile for Industrial Automation: Time-sensitive networking (TSN) from IEEE reduces communication latency and increases reliability. TSN is a key component of Industry 4.0.
Registration of first process automation host system announced
FieldComm Group announced the first FDI host system to earn the right to display the FDI registration logo in product marketing materials.
TSN benefits for edge computing
Edge computing is instrumental in the creation of frameworks that are capable of quickly and securely evaluating data and time-sensitive networking (TSN) can help.
Industrial networking enables IT, OT integration, benefits
As vehicles add technologies, ecosystems of self-aware autonomous vehicles will interact. Autonomous vehicles will optimize routes, processes and directions with little to no human interaction. Application shows advantages for other rugged and industrial applications.
Quality of service for today’s industrial networks
Today’s industrial networks are intelligent and robust, which is a stark change from what they were even a few years ago. Some of these changes and advances are highlighted.
LoRaWAN recognized as ITU International Standard for Low Power Wide Area Networking
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations specialized agency for information and communication technologies (ICTs), approved LoRaWAN from the LoRa Alliance as a standard, likely to boost Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
