The 21st century has seen a huge increase in using Ethernet
for industrial automation applications such as remote monitoring.
However, the advantages and versatility obtained from using
Ethernet for industrial automation applications are offset
by a number of drawbacks, one of which is signal interference.
As a general rule, shop floor and substation environments
are not nearly as friendly as what you would find in an air
conditioned office, and for this reason, engineers are now
using Fiber Ethernet to extend transmission distance and protect
data from the effects of EMI (electromagnetic interference),
or even Gigabit Ethernet to provide increased bandwidth. In
addition, advanced redundancy solutions, such as STP/RSTP
and Moxa's own Turbo Ring protocol, provide the redundancy
needed when implementing Ethernet with automation applications.
In
this paper we cover the following topics:
- Using
media converters as part of a network
- Going
beyond media conversion—LFP and FEF
- Important
reminder: use media converters in pairs
- What
to expect from redundancy
