Modernizing Industrial Process Control Networks

Safety, reliability and coverage for field devices. Secure and reliable network communications between your distributed control systems and large populations of field devices are imperative in industrial applications when plant and personnel safety are at stake.

Process control networks today consist largely of heterogeneous installed bases of legacy equipment and field devices, often communicating over specialized network protocols. As things are increasingly connected in industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications, these networks require significantly higher networking and bandwidth capabilities to deliver real-time visibility and control of connected objects. With Ethernet’s high performance, low cost, ease of deployment and management, and extensive supporting vendor community, it is increasingly the preferred networking technology for IIoT process control networks.  

At Microsemi, we understand harsh conditions your process networks must withstand and that heterogenous industrial networks are today’s reality. Modernizing these networks demands multi-protocol support of Ethernet and fieldbus interfaces to ensure interoperability, scalability and reliable performance. Microsemi solutions are uniquely optimized for the industrial market, accelerating time to market with solutions to reduce end-customers’ overall Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
