Technical Paper Abstract
EtherNet/IP In-cabinet system is intended to replace the hardwiring between devices with a single composite media that provides both power and communication. This innovative approach simplifies installation, reduces engineering time and leverages the intelligence in the devices to provide greater information for maintenance and process optimization. In this paper, we highlight the transformative impact of the SPE/T1S implementation, as defined by ODVA’s released specification. We will explore the expansion of the EtherNet/IP In-cabinet ecosystem and discuss strategies to overcome barriers to technology adoption. This includes sharing knowledge on the EMC performance of flat ribbon cables, expanding application use cases through integration with CIP Safety, ensuring futureproofing with compatibility to upcoming IEEE standards, and advancements in flat media and connector development in IEC standards.
