Highlights 2023

Twisted pair Ethernet for easy digitalization of field level Promass/Promag 300/500 and Prowirl 200 with Ethernet-APL

At a glance • New standardized network connection for the process industry • Enables high transmission rates of up to 10 Mbit/s • Easy implementation of Industry 4.0 to field device possible, even in Ex zones

Application The new APL (advanced physical layer) combines the benefits of the intrinsically safe twisted pair connection of field devices and enables the implementation of Ethernet-based communications technologies such as EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP and OPC UA. The field devices are therefore ready for implementation of the NAMUR Open Architecture (NOA). APL also enables fast implemen tation of optimization and monitoring systems thanks to data transparency and access to large data volumes in real time. Advantages • Implementation of Industry 4.0 with safe and easy digitalization in the field level • Methods for efficient device and network commissioning, e.g. bulk device configuration, web server access and automatic network validation • Safe and easy configuration with standardized device drivers with FDI (field device integration) technology • Flexible and scalable network topologies with seamless integration thanks to IP communication • Easy validation without calculation of intrinsic safety • Increased plant availability, e.g. thanks to comprehensive use of Endress+Hauser Heartbeat Technology and a variety of network redundancy mechanisms
