Unmodified Ethernet for Industrial Automation?

Abstract Of course you use Ethernet on a daily basis – but it’s so well hidden behind your browser that you may have never looked at the technology behind it, at least if you are in automation and not in IT. This brief presentation shows you how Ethernet and the Internet works, and puts you in the position to assess the benefits as well as the limitations of using these technologies in Automation.
