Single-Pair Ethernet (SPE) is the subject of a webinar to be hosted by Digi-Key Electronics, in partnership with SparkFun, Würth Elektronik, Harting and Analog Devices.

Digi-Key hosts Single-Pair Ethernet webinar for IIoT, industrial automationThe title is “Remotely Monitor Equipment in a Challenging Environment with Single-Pair Ethernet” and the webinar will run on Wednesday, June 8, at 11 a.m. (CDT).

It will cover SPE’s benefits – to acquire and transmit data quickly and reliably – and look at applications and case studies for the technology within the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and industrial automation. Read more here.

A river runs through it

There’ll also be an interesting demonstration of new SPE rapid prototyping tools to remotely monitor vibration and motor control in challenging environments.



The demo promises to take participants “into the depths of the SparkFun headquarters” to take a look at the river that runs under the building, which certainly does require monitoring.

“We are looking forward to highlighting SparkFun’s just-announced Single-Pair Ethernet function board, which is now part of the MicroMod ecosystem for rapid prototyping and development,” said David Sandys, director of technical marketing at Digi-Key.

“This leading-edge solution has great potential for IIoT and industrial applications in challenging environments, and I’m excited to highlight the expertise from several of Digi-Key’s valued suppliers on how SPE can be leveraged.”
