Industrial Ethernet

Industrial Ethernet
Industrial Ethernet is the network for the process control level and the cell level of the
vendor-independent SIMATIC NET open communications system. Physically, Industrial
Ethernet is an electrical network based on shielded, coaxial cable, twisted pair cable or an
optical network of fiber-optic cables (FO cable).
Industrial Ethernet is defined by the international standard IEEE 802.3 (see /10/).
