Single Pair Ethernet Components

What is Single Pair Ethernet Technology?

SPE is now enabling the transmission of data by Ethernet using only two wires and the simultaneous power supply for terminals via PoDL – Power over Data Line. Until now, two twin wires for Fast Ethernet (100 MB) or four twin wires for Gigabit of Ethernet were necessary to achieve this with an industrial ethernet cable. It would also be nice to use these advantages in industrial automation. SPE permits the barrier-free connection of equipment, sensors/actuator technology and much more via end-to-end IP-based communications up into the field level. By being able to integrate Ethernet interfaces onto simple sensors, cameras, reading/ID devices or similar equipment, it becomes possible to implement Integrated Industry and IIoT.

The Decisive Advantage of Single Pair Ethernet Technology

SPE delivers a decisive advantage compared with bus systems or analogue current/voltage interfaces, as can still be found in the field level today. This makes the field level smart and simplifies the parameter setting, initialization and programming. The set-up, operation and maintenance of equipment becomes more efficient and more cost-effective. Using a Single Pair Industrial Ethernet cable in machines, robots and rail technology also helps to save weight and space. The complete wiring is simpler and also considerably faster to install.
