Seamless networking right into the field
With 10BASE-T1L Single Pair Ethernet, a new Ethernet physical layer was adopted as a standard by the IEEE just over a year ago. This new standard will profoundly change process automation.

Competition or cooperation?
Single Pair Ethernet enables the transmission of Ethernet data via just one pair of wires and therefore promises to connect sensors directly to Ethernet communication. In this respect, SPE is entering the traditional territory of the IO-Link standard.
