Industrial Ethernet is an emerging technology with high growth potential. Flexible FPGA-based solutions enable equipment manufacturers to overcome obstacles in migrating from legacy network interfaces to multiple versions of Industrial Ethernet using the same hardware platform.

With an FPGA-based platform, all the advantages of performance, flexibility, interoperability are gained when designing reliable, cost-effective, multi-standard Ethernet applications for industrial products that stay in production for a long period of time.

This article examines the key trends driving the growth of open-standard IE solutions and how FPGAs enable designers to evaluate, design, and deploy multiple IE protocols using the same hardware platform.
