With the new SPE (Single Pair Ethernet) technology, the XELAN Ethernet can transmit data over a distance of up to 2 km with a constant baud rate of 10 MBit/s. Both point-point and point-multipoint structures can be implemented. The plug & play solution does not require any further software configuration. The robust devices are intended for mounting on DIN rails. The wide temperature range from -20°C to +70°C and the 24 VDC power supply via a screw terminal are also suitable for industrial use.
