We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Industrial Ethernet",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Microcontroller reference designs ease evaluation from
Innovasic Semiconductor, which we summarised at the time by saying "Innovasic's reference designs and modules help fido1100 microcontroller users to perform rapid prototyping and performance evaluation".
The day before,
we featured the news release Ethernet and power combine in one connector from
Harting: "Connector has been developed in response to the increasing use of industrial Ethernet communications in machine installations".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Binder-USA
concerning its Series 768
- take a look at Shielded connectors protect industrial signals
which says: "Connectors will help protect analogue and sensitive signals from EMI in industrial Ethernet or fieldbus networks".
Take a look also at the news release from Binder-USA, Easier installation for shielded M12s,
as well as RTOS drives into industrial Ethernet from TenAsys Corporation,
and RJ45 connector jack takes filter onboard from Yamaichi Electronics.
