Efficient Integration
The present and future of network technologies in production are based on the Industrial Ethernet standard. Common solutions using this technology are PROFINET IO RT and EtherNet/IP. Sensors and actuators that comply with those standards can be easily integrated into PLC systems if vendors provide the right tools and designed installationfriendly products.
