Industrial Ethernet Solutions Market Innovations & Competitive Analysis – Forecast

Global Industrial Ethernet (IE) Market: Overview

Industrial Ethernet (IE) is the application of Ethernet in an industrial environment. There are protocols for Industrial Ethernet include EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, POWERLINK, SERCOS III, CC-Link IE, and Modbus/TCP. Ethernet Industrial Protocol at its core is a network communication standard that brings about handling large volumes of data at speeds ranging between 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps, with a maximum limit of 1500 bytes per packet.

The industrial Ethernet finds application in integrating controllers, AC drives, and monitoring sensors, among other important parts of industrial processes such as treatment of water. It is predicted to catalyze growth in the markets for factory automation devices, having embedded connectivity for the Ethernet. The capacity for routing can be upped through routers particularly designed for use on the factory-floor by the layer-3 switches. With the growth of the industrial Ethernet solutions, the market for the associated products such as the wireless access points, varied switches, routers, gateways and connectors, and so on, are also predicted to receive a fillip.
