We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Ethernet Networks",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Co-branded switches ease network convergence from
Rockwell Automation, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Rockwell Automation and Cisco integrated and co-branded industrial managed switch line uses the current Cisco Catalyst switch architecture and feature set".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Alliance targets intelligent automation from
Harting: "Automation IT merges office IT and industrial systems to deliver efficient solutions to ensure maximum transparency".
In December 2007, we covered the news from ODVA
- take a look at Specification links Modbus with CIP
which says: "Extension gives existing Modbus/TCP users a clear path to CIP network architectures while protecting their automation investments".
Take a look also at the news release from Ideal Industries (UK), Crosstalk test kits suit 10GbE networks,
as well as Routers handle harsh environments from Westermo Data Communications,
and Ethernet seminar addresses network needs from Hirschmann Electronics.
