Overview

Industrial Ethernet: How to Plan, Install, and Maintain is a practical and accessible guide that explains how standard Ethernet and TCP/IP technologies are adapted for demanding factory and process control environments. This book guides readers through the fundamentals of digital communication, Ethernet hardware, cabling, addressing and common protocols. It then covers real-world topics such as installation best practices, grounding, troubleshooting, monitoring, security, Power over Ethernet (PoE), wireless networking, redundancy and time synchronization. It also compares industrial protocols (Modbus, EtherNet/IP and PROFINET), shows how factories connect to enterprise systems (OPC UA, REST, MQTT, MTConnect and DDS) and surveys IoT/cloud options from major vendors. Written for engineers, technicians and anyone who needs clear, practical guidance, this book emphasizes robust device selection, deterministic performance and the safe and secure integration of legacy and modern systems. The result is a concise reference for planning, deploying and maintaining reliable industrial Ethernet networks in harsh real-world settings.
