Networking feature: Testing, comparing industrial Ethernets Ethernet is now working in a wider variety of industrial devices and applications. Industrial applications and systems require deterministic operations that traditional Ethernet and Transport Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suites did not originally support. A standardized way to describe and test industrial devices is necessary in order to aid users to characterize the performance of their software and hardware applications. More...

Wireless feature: Wireless networking in plant The reduced cost of Ethernet-based networks is driving this fast, low-level, and low-cost technology to the field and shop floor. Another Ethernet side effect is the application of wireless technology in the Wi-Fi group of wireless protocols. Wi-Fi is essentially wireless Ethernet. Any higher-level application layer and user layer can communicate via Wi-Fi at data rates up to 600 Mbps, without knowledge of the fact that it is on a radio link. More...

802.11a/b/g wireless/standard Ethernet networking
An offering for the automation industry provides wireless and wired Ethernet networking options on the standard SNAP PAC programmable automation controllers (PACs) and I/O systems. Now using wireless for programmable automation controllers and I/O is as easy as it is for PCs and laptop computers.

Wireless I/O series Wi-ModPak
The wireless I/O series Wi-ModPak targets the growing market for wireless solutions, particularly in Process Industries, Factory Automation, and Water & Wastewater type applications.
