One of the main application advantages of Industrial Ethernet is the possibility of consistent networking – starting in the field level through the control level and on to the enterprise level. The above advantages are even further supple- mented by the utilization of new IT technologies such as wireless LAN or web servers. This way, system networks can be linked effortlessly to other networks, e.g. an office LAN, Intranet or the Internet. This facilitates fast and direct access to all information required companywide.

The prevention of transmission path fail- ures can never be completely guaranteed. It is therefore all the more important to protect your network against functional failures. Downtimes cost a lot of money. Not least due to process technical reasons, the aspect of high system availability is on top of the users’ priority lists. The integration of the network infrastructure in the engineering function accelerates troubleshooting and debugging and thus ups network availability. 10
