Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing, and digital factory are names used to describe the evolution of manufacturing that provides higher levels of productivity, increased flexibility, and greater agility, while consuming less energy and materials for more sustainable manufacturing. In this presentation, we will introduce the 10BASE-T1S technology and the system advantages that it brings, provide insight into the near complete specification activities to ensure smooth rollout of the technology in time for next generation vehicles, and discuss the different product offerings including Analog Devices E2B solution, which provides the most optimized edge node connectivity.ĭigital Transformation-How Does It Transform the Industrial Sensor Design? One key enabling technology for zonal-based architectures is the new Ethernet standard 10BASE-T1S, which enables optimized connectivity to edge nodes removing the need for protocol translation required today for legacy connectivity technologies such as FlexRay and CAN. The industry is moving towards a common new architecture often referred to as a zonal architecture, which determines connectivity by physical location rather than function. One result of this is the OEMs’ need to radically modify their electrical and electronic architecture to support the new functionality. Car manufacturers need to provide solutions to several significant megatrends such as electrification, autonomy, and the fully connected car in a short period of time. The automotive industry is presently going through one of its most revolutionary periods. Analog Devices’ serial extenders solve this challenge by using intelligent extenders that incorporate bus controllers and peripherals to encode the data on the field buses.ġ0BASE-T1S, Supporting the Transition to Zonal Architectures and Ready for Automotive Production In most cases, this negates the benefits of the simpler node. For example, extending a SPI bus requires 3× pairs for the clock and data lines and additional pairs for each remote peripheral.

The simplest extenders perform a 1-1 mapping of a signal line to a field bus and so require many twisted pairs.

Serial extenders convert the SPI or I 2C signals into a field bus and then back to SPI or I 2C at the remote node and provide a longer, more robust and protected connection. Line drivers or amplifiers may increase the usable bus length to many meters however, the connecting bus is still vulnerable to disturbances, voltage gradients, or noise transients which can corrupt the communication and/or damage the sensitive bus components. Different solutions for extending the length of SPI or I 2C buses are available. Adding a remote processor and a field bus transceiver addresses this challenge but increases the cost and size of the remote node. SPI or I 2C are common interfaces to the sensor device, but they are unsuitable as the field bus for connecting to the local processor. Simplify Remote Nodes by Robustly Extending I 2C and SPI Serial Buses Over Long DistancesĪdvances in sensor technology create new opportunities for remote measurements. These innovations are central to the future of industrial system design and will be a key enabler of digitization, allowing manufacturers to reduce energy consumption while driving critical business goals.Įlectronica Embedded Platforms Conference In this session, Martin Cotter, Senior Vice President, Industrial and Multi-Markets at Analog Devices, will discuss trends including modular system design, localised decision making, and ubiquitous sensing in the context of increasing intelligence at the edge. Simultaneously, industrial organizations are increasingly focused on becoming more sustainable, specifically by reducing energy consumption. Ubiquitous sensing and connectivity at the edge are yielding data that opens the door to new depths of operational insight. Manufacturing is being transformed through a new world of digital factories.
