APL Market Survey
Ethernet-APL will be the normal signal transmission technology in the process industry, replacing 4-20 mA and field buses. In combination with other technologies it will facilitate engineering, provide more information about field instrumentation and be the basis for Digitalization in Process Industry. Of course, prerequisite for implementation of APL in projects is the availability of APL components like instruments, field switches and integration in DCS and AMS. Together with NAMUR and ZVEI atp magazin published a market survey which can be downloaded for free.
