Introduction

Its a specific type of Internet of Things used todescribe Ethernet used on manufacturing plantfloors or in process facilities.

It is rapidly growing already. 23% of the 31.3

million industrial networked nodes in 2011 werebased on Ethernet. IMS Research

Total economic value of IoT will be $1.9T by 2020

with manufacturing and health care verticalsleading at 15% each. Gartner Inc.

IntroductionEthernet is the biggest thing to hit manufacturing facilities butits a lot different then the typical Enterprise network.

According to IMS Research only about 40% of installed industrialEthernet nodes are standard TCP/IP and seems to be decreasingslight ly over time.

Repairs and Extensions to Ethernet cable need to be done on theplant floor they will not re-run wires through plants ormachines with moving parts unless absolutely necessary. Thinkof it as a type of consolidation point.
