As an independent specialist for aluminum wires and rods, Drahtwerk Elisental is asserting itself in an intensely competitive global market. An important modernization milestone was achieved via automating existing machines with PROFINET and managed switches.
PROFINET over 10BASE-T1L use-cases, including Ethernet-APL, continue to expand across process and factory automation driven by the requirement to connect more field devices to PROFINET networks. Different options exist for integrating Ethernet-APL into instruments depending on their size and capabilities.
