8 ADI | Industry 4.0 and Beyond Fido5100/Fido5200 REM Switches LEARN MORE Several distinct advantages will help drive the transition from legacy fieldbus to Industrial Ethernet: The potential to reuse the existing cabling infrastructure (up to 1km in length) simplifies deployment and reduces retrofitting costs. The amount of available power being delivered over the cable to the instrument itself, which was previously confined to 36mW (best case, with 4mA to 20mA deployments), is now up to 60W (cable dependent) or 500mW in Zone 0, intrinsically safe applications. The extra available power will now enable higher functionality instruments with end-node intelligence. This, married with the 10Mbit uplink speed now available, will provide the anticipated increased insights to capitalize on the efficiencies promised by Industry 4.0. What's Available Today? New robust, low-latency, low-power physical-layer technology combined with scalable switch fabrics are required to support the evolution of our automation networks. Being at the forefront of Industrial Ethernet, ADI has leveraged its rich automation domain expertise and advanced technologies to develop a deep portfolio of solutions designed to ensure time-critical data. It is reliably delivered throughout industrial applications, assuring seamless connectivity and operational efficiency. The ADI Chronous™ portfolio of scalable Ethernet solutions includes physical layer devices (PHYs), embedded switches, and complete platform solutions with multiprotocol software. These are fully tested and verified for fast time to market. Notable solutions within this portfolio include: The ADIN1200, the industry-leading 10Mbps/100Mbps Industrial Ethernet PHY with enhanced features set and verified robustness. The ADIN1300, the industry's lowest-latency, lowest-power gigabit PHY, offers verified robustness for harsh environments. The fido5200/fido5100, a real-time, embedded, two-port multiprotocol switch is supporting many of the available TSN features. New TSN features can be implemented via firmware updates as they become available. Multiprotocol software updates are also supported and available through the ADI Chronous developer portal. For verified robust, scalable, and complete Ethernet solutions that simplify system design and reduce development time, the ADI Chronous solutions are designed specifically with our customers in mind. ADI Chronous solutions also feature scalable Ethernet timed to perfection. ADI has developed a new technology called software configurable I/O (AD74413R) to support the transition and provide a network bridge to legacy field devices. This will enable the development of field- configurable remote I/O units that bridge the gap between legacy instruments and the higher-level Ethernet network. What About Security? Ethernet has vulnerabilities, and security is one of the most critical concerns impacting Industry 4.0 adoption rates. By creating an open flow of information throughout the enterprise between OT and IT and from the edge to the cloud, the potential impact of a security breach can be devastating. Security should be a fundamental risk- management consideration in planning Industry 4.0 strategy.
