The overall industrial networking market is expected to grow by 7% by 2023
Steady growth of industrial Ethernet:
Industrial Ethernet is gaining momentum with a growth rate of 10 per cent, accounting for 68 per cent of newly installed nodes in factory automation globally (compared to 66 per cent last year.) There is strong competition between PROFINET and EtherNet/IP, each tied for first place at 18 per cent, while EtherCAT continues to climb, holding on to third place with 12 per cent.
Fieldbus slips again:
Fieldbus declined to 24 per cent. In terms of network protocols, PROFIBUS topped the list with 6 per cent, followed by Modbus-RTU with 5 per cent.
Wireless communication is unstoppable:
At 8 per cent, wireless communication is up 22 per cent from last year. Typical application scenarios include replacing cables, accessing machines wirelessly and connecting mobile industrial equipment.
Boiler Tower
The main function of the boiler tower is energy conversion, and the input chemical energy, electric energy, high-temperature flue gas, etc. are outputted to the outside with certain thermal energy of steam, high-temperature water, or organic carrier;
The 1#-8# boiler tower urea dilution water and the flow rate of the combined discharge adopt the industrial wireless acquisition scheme;
The WirelessHART protocol collects the cold water flow in this area. The data is transmitted to the DCS in the central control room of the power plant and finally displayed in real-time on the smart water cloud platform.
Number of applied products in this area:
● Flowmeter (HART): 37 units
● WirelessHART Adapter A1110: 37 units
● WirelessHART Gateway G1100: 1 units
● WirelessHART Repeater R1100: 18 units
