Ethernet-APL Technology Standard is the deployment of standard physical Ethernet technology for the hazardous areas of the process industry. Its implementation promises substantial reductions in labor costs, cable costs, and project schedules and empowers enterprises to boost maintenance and management efficiency of large-scale industrial complex.

 

Since 2019, SUPCON has been actively researching Ethernet-APL Technology, leading to the development of an impressive array of APL products and solutions, including APL power switches, APL field switches, and APL instruments. The success stories of this technology have already been demonstrated through projects like the Hubei Sanning Refined Phosphoric Acid Plant. As of 2022, SUPCON has been dedicatedly promoting Ethernet-APL Technology and its products on the international stage.

 

The Interoperability test between SUPCON and SAMSON commenced in April and concluded triumphantly with the successful testing of TROVIS 3797 Positioners in early July. Concurrently, the Interoperability Testing with E+H was also accomplished in July, encompassing a full range of APL instruments, including Promass 300/500 Coriolis Mass Flow Meters, Cerabar Pressure Transmitters, Prowirl 200 Vortex Flow Meters, Micropilot Radar Level Transmitters, and iTEMP TMT86 Temperature Transmitters.
