Benefit from our whitepaper Ethernet and Ex-Protection!   Without a digital infrastructure, digitalisation of process technology systems is impossible. As a result, Ethernet is being used more and more frequently. However, the explosion protection needed involves a number of special requirements. This whitepaper from R. STAHL demonstrate how you can use Ethernet safely and efficiently in these environments. Find out more about: - Ensuring explosion protection is suitable for the transmission medium. - Available solutions and the outlook for the future. - The benefits and drawbacks of the different types of protection. # Authors   ![Andre\_\_\_Fritsch\_Zitat](https://pages.r-stahl.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Andre___Fritsch_Zitat.png?width=275&height=230&name=Andre___Fritsch_Zitat.png) #### André Fritsch ##### Senior Product Manager for Remote I/O & Fieldbus André Fritsch has been holding national and international seminars on the topics of intrinsic safety, functional safety and fieldbus technology for many years.
