ISA introduces industrial Ethernet resource
ISA has published its 'Industrial Ethernet for the Plant Floor: A Planning and Installation Guide', which shows how to select components, layout, install, test, certify a network system.
Industrial Ethernet, UDP, TCP and IP are now standard at the host-level for fieldbus-based control systems including a wide range of industrial protocols such as FOUNDATIONT Fieldbus HSE, PROFInet and Modbus/TCP and many others.
Unlike other Ethernet books, written for the office environment, this book targets Ethernet for mission critical industrial use and focuses primarily on industrial requirements such as ingress and surge protection and redundancy of media, ports and devices for greater fault tolerance.
The book has 468 hardbound pages, approximately 230 illustrations and 100 review questions.
