Single Pair Ethernet (SPE)
10BASE-T1 is a new 10 Mbps Single Pair Ethernet physical layer network technology under the IEEE 802.3cg specification focused on automotive and industrial applications. It lowers cost, weight, cable diameter, and connector size using the Internet Protocol (IP).
Basis for Advanced Physical Layer (APL)
Single Pair Ethernet is the basis for the Advanced Physical Layer (APL) being developed to bring Ethernet to field-level instruments in hazardous areas. Ethernet at the field level will make digitalization for process industries a reality with its universality and speed. Current and voltage will be limited to have an intrinsically safe solution for zones 0 & 1 / Div 1. The main goal is to adopt proven technologies and options in the field of process automation. The general topology will be based on the well-know trunk-and-spur configuration.
