Resilient plant-wide network architectures serve a crucial role in achieving overall plant uptime and productivity. The Converged Plantwide Ethernet (CPwE) architecture provides standard network services to the applications, devices, and equipment in modern IACS applications, and integrates them into the wider enterprise network. It also provides design and implementation guidance to achieve the real-time communication and requirements of the IACS as well as the scalability, reliability, and resiliency required by those IACS applications. The Cisco, Rockwell Automation and Panduit solution can help provide manufacturers the guidance needed to meet the challenges of a fully integrated IACS and realize the business benefits offered by standard networking.
