Lapp has also had switches in its range for two years. The company has now expanded its range of active components for SPS 2019 to include additional switches for industry.
Belden, a provider of signal transmission solutions for mission-critical applications, will be presenting solutions from the sensor to the cloud for the first time at SPS, including new switches, a multiport firewall and Single Pair Ethernet.

Lapp is expanding its range of active components with additional switches for industrial applications. The Etherline Access Switches are available in different versions with four to 16 ports, also in combination with ports for fiber optics and as a variant with Power over Ethernet.

At SPS, Belden will be presenting solutions from the sensor to the cloud that help to save costs and time and ensure high productivity and availability. A range of new products from Belden, Hirschmann and Lumberg Automation will be presented.

Industrial Application Hosting Platform
Siemens has added a new, more powerful version of the Ruggedcom APE (Application Processing Engine) to its Ruggedcom multiservice platform product family of rugged communication devices. It is an industrial application hosting platform on which manufacturer-independent software applications can be executed in harsh and mission-critical environments.

Industrial communication. Phoenix Contact helps customers to set up networked company processes. The acceptance of the offered CC-Link IE-compatible network devices by the CLPA and the recognition of the potential of innovations such as Time Sensitive Networking are two essential aspects.
Communication networks in the factory
Sensors, machines, robots, tools - everything in the factory communicates with everything else. Lapp provides the high-performance communication infrastructure. This includes cables that can be quickly assembled, robust switches and a number of other innovations.

Data communication is growing with Industry 4.0. Companies are increasingly relying on Ethernet connection solutions. But speed is not everything: simple and cost-effective cables are also increasingly in demand, as are hybrid cables.

At Hannover Messe 2019, Lapp will be presenting further models from the Etherline Access series, this time also for Profinet networks.

Belden has launched a complete solution for the configuration and use of TSN in Industrial Ethernet networks. This solution from Hirschmann combines the TSN firmware versions of the Industrial Ethernet switches with the Industrial HiVision 8.0 network management software.
