Industrial Ethernet is the hottest topic in automation today. Everyone's talking about Ethernet. Currently two magazines in our industry are devoted to it and several others focus exclusively on factory networking. Open standards are relentlessly marching forward and the drive to connect smart devices to the Internet is rendering legacy technologies obsolete.

The days of $1500 network cards and $3000 gateways are numbered. Nobody's willing to put up with nightmarish integration problems and controllers that can't or won't talk to 3rd party devices. And if you're putting off Ethernet because the economy's bad, you're understaffed, you're not sure which protocol is going to "win" or because you're afraid of stepping on some other vendor's toes, you're about to find yourself on the outside looking in.

Fieldbuses have found their place in automation, and they are here to stay. If you need fieldbus connectivity, you've come to the right place and we'd be happy to talk to you about your Profibus, CAN, DeviceNet and Lonworks applications. But the biggest opportunities between now and 2004 will be for vendors who openly embrace Ethernet and TCP/IP and the most popular protocols.

If your project deadline is only 2 weeks away, we can still provide cost effective gateways and daughter boards that will solve your problem. Most importantly, you can deliver Ethernet capable devices in 90 days or less with our IC's and software, including EtherNet/IP, Modbus/TCP, SNP, web and email servers.
