Title: Industrial Networking - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: Despite the many advantages of establishing a fully automated facility, legacy equipment is still present in the production areas of many control systems because of the high investment cost and impracticality of disposing of such working assets. Continuing to use such equipment, however, can have several drawbacks. These include inflexibility and integrating challenges due to the reality that many independent machines have limited connectivity to the Ethernet TCP/IP network. In terms of implementing an industrial networking solution for control and automaton, however, the largest challenge is finding a way to network such legacy devices with newer industrial automation equipment. Networking such devices together will help satisfy the increasing demand for greater productivity, safety, control, reliability, and accuracy. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
