The technology started with 10-Mb/s coax cabling (10BASE5). Twisted-pair and RJ45 connectors quickly replaced that, while fiber optics was implemented for high-speed, long-distance communication.

Lantiq and Würth Elektronik eiSos have announced a turnkey demo kit that shows how to add high speed connectivity to designs. The jointly developed design kit is intended to illustrate easy and fast ...

Real-time networking is the basis for software-defined vehicles (SDVs). This TechXchange collects together articles that address the technologies involved, such as single-pair Ethernet (SPE) and ...

While the complexity and volume of industrial Ethernet features can be overwhelming, effective design and implementation of an industrial Ethernet network can be simple, manageable and fairly absent ...

Engineers often discover ways to leverage technology in applications for which it was never intended. Sometimes the fit is “good enough” and the resulting economies of scale are sufficient to make the ...

EMI design:All relevant devices must pass EMC standards, but it can be challenging to optimize devices for EMI performance. Flyback solutions typically require a common-mode (CM) inductor to improve ...

Every day thousands of smart devices use Ethernet cables to join the Internet of Things (IoT). Understandably, most of this connectivity happens in benign indoor locations where temperature and ...

For applications requiring highly integrated motion control, such as packaging, pick-and-place, converting, assembly, and robotics, the network infrastructure For applications requiring highly ...

Single-pair Ethernet (SPE) is gaining recognition as a streamlined industrial networking solution that simplifies how components in machine design communicate, power and integrate. Recent insights ...
