Single Pair Ethernet: Lean communication through to the field level of automation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) enables smarter, more sustainable connections, making it ideal for long-distance communication. Sensor manufacturer Jumo trusts SPE for its measurement technology, using connection solutions from Phoenix Contact, developed through close project collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) enhances the use of intelligent sensors by transmitting more data, enabling profitable insights,” says Manfred Walter, product manager at Jumo. He highlights the seamless distribution of sensor information across system levels and the consistency it brings. SPE also saves cables by routing data and power via Power over Data Line (PoDL), allowing end-to-end communication from ERP to field level without media disruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

OEE as a basis for investment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jumo and Phoenix Contact emphasize Ethernet’s consistency as crucial for sustainable production. It simplifies troubleshooting, facilitate condition-based maintenance, and improves Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) by enhancing system availability. Additionally, it facilitates easier connections to cloud-based services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using SPE to combat media discontinuity in industrial communication could influence sensor-level connection technology choices. However, Manfred Walter notes that customer expectations in machine building and systems manufacturing are primarily price-driven, with limited budgets for measurement chains. The additional cost of SPE connections and the benefits of an end-to-end Ethernet architecture are difficult to present, especially in standardized tenders. Positive impacts on OEE are crucial for investment decisions and are best be argued directly.<\/p>\n\n\n

Convergent networks are in demand<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Martin M\u00fcller, a fieldbus expert at Phoenix Contact, views SPE as an important step towards convergent networks. TSN is designed for time-critical tasks like functional safety and motion control, while 5G is used for cellular communication needs. Similarly, WLAN 6 and 7 are used for license-free, wireless transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Single Pair Ethernet is ideal for communication at the field level,” says Martin M\u00fcller. The convergent Ethernet network is the common standard for industrial communication. If stakeholders in automation, electrical engineering, machine building, and systems manufacturing agree on this path, industry-specific fieldbus wars will end.<\/p>\n\n\n

1,000 meters with 10 Mbit<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The chances are favorable, supported by the transmission performance of standard consumer communication. SPE achieves a transmission rate of 10 Mbps over 1,000 meters, while I\/O-Link delivers 230.4 kbps over 20 meters. Despite I\/O-Link simplifying sensor connections, Manfred Walter believes its data rate won’t suffice for future tasks in coupled sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Contact and Jumo foresee a trend towards convergent Ethernet networks, particularly among younger specialists. “Digital natives are less tolerant of multiple systems in industrial automation,” says Martin M\u00fcller. The focus should be on maximizing sensor capabilities for efficient, resource-saving operations. “We see enormous potential for the future,” emphasizes Manfred Walter.<\/p>\n\n\n

Hygienically clean IP67 connector solution<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Install, connect, and you\u2019re done: With SPE connectivity, installing a Jumo sensor is easy. The Ethernet layer eliminates the need for gateways or complex interface programming. Phoenix Contact’s M12 connector supports Single Pair Ethernet transmission up to 1,000 meters without limiting attenuation. “The M8 format wouldn’t fit a two-wire AWG 18 data cable for 1,000 meters,” explains Manfred Walter. The connection design ensures robustness and hygiene. Jumo\u2019s \u201cflowTRANS MAG H20\u201d and \u201cDELOS S02\u201d sensors are popular in the pharmaceutical and food industries. High operational safety over long distances is achieved with connections that withstand demanding production processes or CiP cleaning. Phoenix Contact’s solution meets hygienic design standards and provides IP67 protection.<\/p>\n\n\n
