Industrial Wired Connectivity Technology

Today, wired connectivity technology remains the primary technology adopted in the industrial sector. Existing factory networks widely utilize legacy serial interfaces to ensure uninterrupted high-performance connections. These interfaces are simple and user-friendly but lack the direct IP addressing advantages of Ethernet, which is the main technology used at the control layer. Additionally, in the future, there is likely to be a coexistence of new and old equipment in factory environments, and new wired connectivity technologies will facilitate interoperability between them.

ADI's wired connectivity solutions leverage both new serial and Ethernet technologies to deliver outstanding performance, reliability, and coverage. They enable the last-mile connection to edge sensors or actuators using 10BASE-T1L and IO-Link®. For high-speed applications, low-latency Gigabit Ethernet, MLVDS, and RS-485 can be employed. ADI also offers highly reliable, next-generation isolated USB solutions for industrial PC connections.
