DESCRIPTION
Industrial Ethernet implementations continue to gain traction on the plant floor and in process plants. What are the key industrial Ethernet technologies being installed today and why? Learn from automation system integrators about criteria used to choose types of switches, cabling, and topologies being applied for industrial Ethernet applications. Ethernet survey results are discussed. An exam and certificate are available for one professional development hour (PDH), according to Registered Continuing Education Program (RCEP) rules from the American Council of Engineering Companies.

Categories for Industrial Applications
TIA-568 Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard
• The TIA 568 standard defines these areas:
• Backbone• Connecting hardware• Cords and jumpers• Horizontal (solid wires) cables• Stranded (patch) cables • Optical fiber
• Type of fiber, transceivers, and
supported distances
TIA-1005 Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Industrial Premises
• In contrast to the TIA-568 standard, which addresses commercial buildings, the central concept of this standard is the potential exposure to hostile environments in the industrial space.
• A prime design principle of the standard is the special cabling system requirements for industrial operations.
•Category 6 or better cabling shall be used for the Automation Islands.
TIA-1005: MICE definition
M1I1C1E1 - Worst case commercial environment
M2I2C2E2 - Worst case light industrial environment
M3I3C3E3 - Worst case industrial environment
Telecommunications Room• Control Room• Typical MICE Range 1• (commercial grade)
Factory Floor• Network Distribution• Typical MICE Ranges 1-2 from• commercial grade to light industrial
Work Area• Consolidation points• Typical MICE Ranges 1-2 from• commercial grade to light industrial
Automation island• Control Panels, On Machine
(distributed)• MICE Ranges 1-3 from commercial
grade to harsh environment rated
Cabling best practices
• Planning is key• Include cable
management• Color coded cabling• Patch panels• Naming scheme
• Label!
Network documentation
• Understanding of critical network dependencies
• Assists with troubleshooting
• Point of reference for expansion
Industrial networksWhat is the role of your network?
• SCADA• Systems that collect data from PLCs.• Use explicit (unicast) communications
• Control network Controls drives, I/O, servos, etc.

Industrial Ethernet switches, routers
Industrial Ethernet components
Ethernet is gaining on fieldbus
Ethernet growth for motion controlUse of Ethernet with motor drives and motion controllers will more than triple in 2016 from 1.8 million new connected nodes in 2011, IHS said.
Ethernet for process industriesUse of Ethernet as an industrial communications technology in motion control to more than triple by 2016, IHS said.
Ethernet switches get a boost• Industrial Ethernet (IE) switches, driving by discrete automation, will get a boost from increased use in process and infrastructure applications, said ARC Advisory Group in May 2013.• IE differs from commercial switches: ruggedized enclosures, high IP ratings, mounting and connector types, ability to withstand extended temperature ranges, redundant components, and conformance to industrial infrastructure standards, among others. • Infrastructure applications include smart grid and intelligent rail. • The mix of form factors, point counts, port speeds, media types, and other device characteristics continues to expand.• Availability of switches that meet requirements such as IEC 61850-3 for substation automation and EN 50155 for rail only further enhances Ethernet’s suitability in infrastructure applications.
Ethernet research from others• IHS commented recently on decline in growth of stand-alone industrial routers, as use of managed switches is expected to grow steadily over five years.• While annual fieldbus connections still outpace industrial Ethernet connections, IHS believes that within 10 to 15 years industrial Ethernet will be the dominant networking technology in industrial environments and almost all components will offer Ethernet connectivity as standard. • Use of Ethernet as an industrial communications technology in motion control will more than triple by 2016, IHS said.• Industrial Ethernet nodes in process industries are projected to rise to 8.7 million units in 2016, up a 96% from 4.4 million in 2011, IHS said.• Industrial Ethernet switches, driving by discrete automation, will get a boost from increased use in process and infrastructure applications, said ARC Advisory Group.
