Your Deployment Guide for Industrial Network Convergence
TINLEY PARK, Ill.--(Business Wire)--
Panduit, a global leader in physical infrastructure solutions releases an
Industrial Ethernet Physical Infrastructure Reference Architecture Design Guide.
This Design Guide is based on Panduit`s Unified Physical InfrastructureSM
Approach, providing a comprehensive view of the design and installation of
Industrial Ethernet networks for optimal performance, security and testability.
This document is intended to provide a structured approach for architects,
designers, control engineers or IT professionals that are responsible for system
design, operation or maintenance of an Industrial Ethernet network. The Design
Guide bridges the gap between IT terminology and control theory to assist in the
convergence of distributed systems.
Deployment complexities such as environment, noise mitigation and logical
segmentation must be overcome to achieve high availability and maintain data
integrity in automation systems. Industry experts estimate that between 50%-90%
of all network failures can be traced back to improper network physical
infrastructure design and installation. The physical infrastructure forms the
foundation to support the communication channels that connect a distributed
system tasked with real-time control, process data collection and device
configuration. To ensure that the network performs consistently and reliably,
the physical infrastructure of the network must be specified with sufficient
performance margin, proper environmental rating and dependable security
features. Without a strong physical infrastructure design strategy in place,
organizations take on unnecessary risk.
For over 50 years, Panduit has provided robust industrial infrastructure
solutions and is a proven leader in the industry. "Our new Design Guide brings
together best practices established by Panduit and key partners that ultimately
facilitate complex system deployments for industrial applications, mitigating
risk associated with convergence, availability, and security," says Ron
Partridge, Vice President Global Sales and Marketing for Panduit.
The Industrial Ethernet Physical Infrastructure Reference Architecture Design
Guide is published by Panduit and made available to qualified business partners
and customers. Please visit www.panduit.com/IA to register to download this
