Engineering – Information Ethernet-APL Development Services Overview The launch of Ethernet-APL (Advanced Physical Layer acc. to IEEE 802.3cg) opens up new possibilities for the process industry. The process devices can communicate robustly with high data rates on existing 2-wire lines, even in explosion-proof areas. They are supplied with voltage via the communication line using PoDL (Power over Dataline). They are fully integrated into the Ethernet topology of the overall system. Ethernet-APL thus enables the consistent use of established Ethernet protocols (non-safe and safe) from the sensor to the controller. This has considerable advantages in terms of device installation, configuration and maintenance. In addition, safety protocols such as PROFINET / PROFIsafe can be used for safety-related tasks in the field devices. Your benefit  Standard compliant implementation of the Ethernet-APL interfaces  Proof-of-concept with use of MESCO Ethernet-APL evaluation boards  Simple integration of multi-protocol solutions on common Ethernet-APL hardware  MESCO design know-how in the field of measurement technology, Ethernet communication, functional safety and explosion protection MESCO Services for Ethernet-APL MESCO Evaluation Board Ethernet-APL Our competencies We are experts in device development in the field of process automation. We realize electronics projects for measurement technology, safety control technology, actuators / sensors and remote I/O. Safety requirements with regard to explosion protection (IECEx) and functional safety (IEC61508, SIL) are also taken into account. Our specialists develop your product from concept to certification (approvals e.g. from TÜV / DEKRA / EXAM). Our services include the conception, hardware and software development, prototyping and support with the certification of your product.  Technology consulting and preparation of specifications  Hardware and software design for Ethernet-APL interfaces with PROFINET communication  Development of low-power interfaces, PoDL power supplies and explosion proof concepts  Multiprotocol Ethernet solutions  Support for protocol compliance testing  Implementation of safety protocols such as PROFIsafe acc.
