Anatomy of an Industrial Ethernet Environment Zone A: Infrastructure IT cabling This area is the link between the office and the industrial environment.

2 Anatomy of an Industrial Ethernet Environment Zone A: Infrastructure IT cabling This area is the link between the office and the industrial environment. Cables are installed in a ceiling tray and do not come into contact with machinery or harsh conditions. Zone A typically includes access controls, IP cameras and wireless access points. Zone B: Control panel interconnection This area is within your industrial environment, so cables are exposed to variable temperatures, electrical noise, dust, and other conditions. Zone B cabling connects your PLCs, HMIs, PC-based controllers, and other monitoring devices. Zone C: The most demanding conditions This is the most extreme area of your industrial environment, where cables are exposed to repetitive motion, extreme temperatures, oil, dust, and humidity. Zone C cabling connects your motors, robotics, tanks, valves, and process automation equipment. The tables in this brochure provide product recommendation guidelines for each zone, but many cables are suitable for more than one zone. Please contact your Berk-Tek representative to discuss specific solutions. INDUSTRIAL ETHERNET CABLING SOLUTIONS Control. Monitor. Process. Berk-Tek s Industrial Ethernet Cabling Solutions ensure reliable and worry-free Control, Monitor and Process applications under harsh industrial environments, for best production performance.
