ADI 'ADIN1100' MAC PHY and PHY Solutions
Transmit 1.6km of data using a single shielded twisted pair cable
Supports 10BASE-T1L physical layer Ethernet standard


Many process plants and buildings face the challenge of requiring service personnel to continuously engage in manual work locally. On the 18th, Analog Devices (ADI) announced the launch of the 'ADIN1100' MAC PHY and PHY solution, which provides long-distance Ethernet connectivity and enables real-time configuration, lower energy consumption, and greater asset utilization.

The ADIN1100, part of the ADI Chronous™ industrial Ethernet portfolio, supports the 10BASE-T1L physical layer Ethernet standard, enabling new data transmission from edge nodes in remote and hazardous locations across process and building facilities. This data can be accessed over the network and used to evaluate factors such as asset status, raw material usage, and process parameters, enabling cleaner manufacturing than before.

Data transmission is possible up to approximately 1.6 km or more through a single shielded twisted pair Ethernet cable, which can reduce installation area, weight, and cost. This cable is lighter and simpler than existing Ethernet cables and allows for the reuse of existing cable connection infrastructure.

The MAC PHY model supports the implementation of ultra-low-power systems, simplifies the mounting of field sensors and actuators to Ethernet, and enables the retention of existing investments in software and processor technology. The PHY model provides a standard Ethernet interface and can be used for complex designs such as field switch development or building controllers.
