Single Pair Ethernet Devices

What are Single Pair Ethernet Devices used by Industry?

Single Pair Ethernet Devices: HMI/Monitors

Single Pair Ethernet is already being implemented in new generations of automobiles, replacing CAN and other bus systems. Controls, communication and safety functions will in future run uniformly via Ethernet. This is a fundamental prerequisite for networked or later autonomous driving.

Single Pair Ethernet Devices: Switches

The use of Single Pair Ethernet is also worthwhile in industrial automation. Single-pair industrial Ethernet cabling is fast, space-saving, cost-effective and easy to implement. Equipping simple sensors, cameras and the like with Ethernet interfaces makes SPE a driver of topics such as Integrated Industry and IIoT. This reduces the field level smart and the effort for parameterization, initialization and programming.

What is Single Pair Ethernet?

About Single Pair Ethernet (SPE)

Single Pair Ethernet Components

In order to make SPE an enabler of the smart field level and the IIoT, a uniform infrastructure and device components that coordinate with each other and function is necessary.

Single Pair Ethernet Applications

How and where is Single Pair Ethernet an alternative to existing industrial Ethernet infrastructure and where does SPE even conquer completely new areas?

Single Pair Ethernet Standards

IEC 63171-6 THE INDUSTRY STANDARD FOR SPE INTERFACES

IEC 63171-6 will be published at the end of 2019, making it the world's first standard for SPE connections in industrial applications adopted by all major standards bodies. Already submitted in 2016, the complete standard document includes all necessary specifications and test sequences for simple and reliable implementation.

What is the Single Pair Ethernet Standard EcoSystem?

To reliably establish the entire future SPE EcoSystem, standards for transmission protocols, cabling and device components are also jointly supported. Therefore, all members of the partner program, as well as the ISO / IEC JTC 1 / SC 25 / WG 3, are in close exchange and intensive cooperation with IEEE 802.3 and IEC SC46C for uniform transmission standards and copper data cables.

Breakthrough Single Pair Ethernet Technology

Development of Single Pair Ethernet for industrial manufacturing markets began in 2015 after seeing the potential in the Automotive sector. This section will outline the reasons why the market began development of Single Pair Ethernet, its advantages over other communication protocols currently in use, and the future of Single Pair Ethernet speeds and distances.
