Industrial automation has been put on the development agenda by many countries, and more enterprises choose industrial Ethernet for information transmission in today's intelligent manufacturing industry.
How "optimistic" is Industrial Ethernet?
IEEE Global Survey: The Impact of Technology in 2023 and Beyond: Cloud computing (40%), 5G (38%), metaverse (37%), electric vehicles (35%), and industrial IoT (33%) will be the most important technologies impacting 2023. [1]
"Global Industrial Internet Innovation and Development Report": The average annual growth rate of global patent applications for industrial Internet network technology has exceeded 20% in the past 10 years; From the perspective of emerging fields, global patent applications for new network technologies such as 5G, TSN, and industrial Ethernet have maintained double-digit growth rates for many years. [2]
How "hard" Industrial Ethernet is
Industrial Ethernet supports a variety of protocols, and devices from different manufacturers can be easily interconnected according to network protocols.
Ethernet can realize the seamless connection between the industrial control network and the enterprise information network, forming a fully open network with enterprise-level management and control integration;
Real-time, low-latency, high-speed and large-capacity communication, 10M, 100M fast Ethernet has begun to be widely used, gigabit Ethernet technology has gradually matured, and 10G Ethernet is also being studied;
However, the complex environment and harsh conditions of the industrial site pose many challenges for Ethernet to adapt to industrial applications: incorrect wiring of field termination cables, loose connections, etc.; Damage to pre-terminated cables during or after installation, loose links; Loose connections cause intermittent problems such as vibration, moisture, oxidation, noise sensitivity, etc.
Arguably the root cause of half of Industrial Ethernet problems lies in cabling, testing and certification is an effective way to reduce cable problems by verifying the performance of the installed cabling system against the standard to ensure that it meets the requirements of the industrial environment (vibration, moisture, temperature, electromagnetic noise).
The "quality" of industrial Ethernet is important
The cable is assembled correctly
The connector is wired correctly
Proper shielding (if using shielded cables) and length
Noise-sensitive open twisted long pairs
Loose connections that are susceptible to moisture, vibration, noise
The signal loss of cables and connectors is within the limit values
The cable was not damaged during installation
No damage or breakage during pulling
The signal loss of cables and connectors is within the limit values
Industrial Ethernet is critical to the realization of industrial automation, and Fluke provides network certification, fault diagnosis and troubleshooting, as well as a variety of installation tools, especially the testing and maintenance of the cable dielectric layer, to ensure the normal operation of industrial communication and control cable systems.

Fundamentals of leakage current measurement
Application note
In any electrical device, there is a certain amount of current flowing to the ground through a protective ground conductor. This current is generally referred to as the leakage current. The most common way for leakage current is to flow through the insulation around conductors, as well as through filters that protect electronics around your home or office. Then it would be ...
