State of the Art Ethernet-APL is done. The specs are written, finalized, and published in the international standards organizations. To recap: Ethernet-APL is an extension of IEEE 802.cg (10BASE-T1L) two-wire Ethernet –for intrinsically safe environments. This is done and standardized in the IEC under TS 60079-47 2-WISE (2-Wire Intrinsically Safe Ethernet). Now is the time […]
New year, same challenges. As in the previous year, in 2024 enterprises are aiming for transparency within their business operations and supply chains, to cope with the impacts of the VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) world and global crises. Knowing the location of assets, equipment, goods, or staff is more important than ever before […]
Brian Condell – Product Applications Engineer, Analog DevicesMichael Jackson – End Market Specialist, Analog Devices Abstract This article shows how a resistance temperature detector (RTD) industrial temperature sensor can be quickly redesigned to meet smart factory demands for temperature measurement devices with smaller form factors, flexible communications, and remote configurability. This can be done using […]
