This data is essential for optimizing operations via powerful business applications and has been inaccessible until now. The remedy is a versatile software solution that is scalable, cost-effective and easy to use, allowing manufacturers to extract data from their CNC controls while having the freedom to connect to higher-value applications. https://industrial.softing.com/us/news/blog/ethernet-apl-network-topologies.htmlhttps://industrial.softing.com/us/news/blog/ethernet-apl-network-topologies.html#commentsMon, 13 Mar 2023 12:04:09 +0100Thomas Rummelhttps://industrial.softing.com/us/news/blog/ethernet-apl-network-topologies.htmlThe fact that Ethernet-APL (Advanced Physical Layer) supports almost all Industrial Ethernet protocols makes network planning and installation much easier for plant engineers and planners. However, a number of points need to be kept in mind to ensure the network is stable and fail-safe. The blog post looks at the various network topologies for Ethernet-APL, as recommended by the Ethernet-APL Engineering Guideline.
