To summarise, ofce Ethernet equipment is only designed
for comfortable ofce environments, so it is unsuitable
for industrial applications with heavy load, frequent
vibration and wide operation temperature range. Industrial
networks demand strong reliability, restorability and
maintainability, especially for manufacturing industries.
Industrial Ethernet devices also allow for complex
industrial applications and are more suitable for harsh

environments.
With the spread of internet technology, increased
transmission rates and advances in switching methods,
industrial Ethernet is being rapidly developed and
improved, making it possible for Ethernet to be used
extensively in modern industrial communications systems.
Conforming to the same IEEE802.3 protocol used in
ofce Ethernet systems, Industrial Ethernet is the Ethernet
technology used in the industrial control area. Compared
with devices in ofce Ethernet, those in Industrial Ethernet
have increased longevity, reliability, restorability, immediacy,
mutual operability and anti-interference performance; they
use better materials, and are available to meet intrinsically
safety requirements.
Using switches as an example, the table below demonstrates
some of the technical differences between devices designed
for ofce and industrial environments.
