Webinar – Discover a Breakthrough in Field-Device Connectivity in Process Automation

As process plants advance their digital transformation, the need for fast, reliable, and safe field‑level communication continues to grow. Ethernet‑APL (Advanced Physical Layer) meets this demand by delivering high‑speed Ethernet over a simple two‑wire infrastructure—while maintaining intrinsic safety in hazardous areas.

In this webinar, Jehad Hameda, Product Manager, Ethernet Technologies, and Arnold Offner Strategic Marketing Manager for Phoenix Contact will explore how Ethernet‑APL is reshaping process automation. You’ll learn how Ethernet‑APL–enabled switches provide improved visibility, advanced diagnostics, and stronger operational performance in even the most demanding industrial environments.

Whether you’re implementing a new system or modernizing legacy fieldbus networks, Ethernet‑APL offers a future‑ready approach that improves reliability, simplifies infrastructure, and helps increase plant uptime.

In This Webinar, You’ll Learn:

• What Ethernet‑APL is and why it matters for process automation
• How process plants benefit from Ethernet‑APL technology
• Common Ethernet‑APL topology options
• The value of Ethernet‑APL across the lifecycle—from planning to maintenance
• An overview of Phoenix Contact Ethernet‑APL switch offerings

Join us to see how Ethernet‑APL makes it possible to extend high‑speed Ethernet into hazardous areas—safely and efficiently.
