How to Know When You Need an Industrial Ethernet Solution – Part 1
Guest Blogger: Oliver Kleineberg is responsible for Advanced Development in Belden’s Industrial IT platform. In this role, he plays an active role in shaping the future of Industrial Ethernet. He is a significant contributor to the IEEE 802.1 standard for Time Sensitive Networking (TSN). This standard enables deterministic, time critical packet delivery using standard Ethernet. He also contributed to the PRP and HSR standards (IEC 62439) which provide seamless Ethernet redundancy mechanisms. With both undergraduate and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Engineering Oliver combines rigorous thinking with a can-do attitude to define the industrial networking products of the future. In some environments, networking products are placed in clean air-conditioned offices, where installers often give less thought to hardening characteristics of switches, routers, and the cables used to connect them. But, other environments are less “pristine”. Here, industrial communications and automation contro...
