Ethernet in industrial environment must be very reliable as downtime is much less tolerable in the factory than the office. Harsh environments with electrical noise and vibrations requires equipment of very high quality.
Ethernet is now a hot topic in automation, but all serial installations (RS-232 and RS-485) made during past years require different adapters and converters to connect already existing installations to Ethernet.
Westermo has different kind of Ethernet equipment, serial servers for RS-232 and RS-485, TCP PPP servers and client/host routers.
