Ethernet, used throughout the world to network millions of PC’s has now evolved into a viable industrial network. Ethernet is an open architecture high-level communication network that meets the demands of today’s industrial applications requiring high-speed (10/100 Mbit/s), high-throughput and flexibility. Various application layers for this protocol include TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus TCP/IP. Additionally, Ethernet technology can integrate an on-board Web Server, which can make the node readily accessible to any standard Web browser for configuration, testing and even retrieval of technical documentation. E-mail capability allows the manifold to send e-mails that are triggered from specific events ranging from diagnostic information to automatic Preventative Maintenance scheduling. Numatics has integrated this technology into the G2-2 series of fieldbus manifolds, which combines the functionality of a scalable modular I/O system with a modular pneumatic valve manifold.
