SCALABLE & SMARTER:
Transforming Industrial

Networks through SPE

While Ethernet has long been established as a communication standard at the control levels of the automation pyramid, various fieldbus systems dominate lower down at field level. A new infrastructure – compatible with the Ethernet networks higher up, while being cost-effective and space-saving for machine and system use – was needed to enable continuous networking.

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE):

From the Cloud to the Sensor

A game changer in industrial automaton, Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) empowers seamless networking by allowing both data and power transmission with just one pair of cables, hence simplifying cabling infrastructure and embracing change in digital transformation.

Key aspects of how SPE
is transforming industrial networks:

Increasing Bandwidth
and Speed

Supporting higher rates, SPE enhances more efficient communication between devices on the industrial network.

Compact
and Lightweight

Ideal for applications where space is limited or where reduced weight is a priority.

Power over Data Line
(PoDL) Capability

Transmission of both electrical power and data over the same cable, reducing the need for additional power cables.

EMI-Resistant

Designed to be robust and resistant to electromagnetic interference (EMI), making them suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Cost-Effective Solution

Reducing cabling complexity and improved energy efficiency, SPE also eliminates the use of active components with direct sensor integration.

Joining the Fray of Innovation and Progress

Did you know that LAPP has been a member of the SPE Industrial Partner Network since 2019? An ideal solution for the challenges of Industry 4.0, the association of well-known companies is a central information and exchange platform for SPE and vital in helping the technology achieve a breakthrough.
