HMS Networks Report: industrial Ethernet now makes up for 59% of the global market
HMS發布2019工業網絡市場份額報告：工業以太網全球份額占59%

HMS Networks presented their annual analysis of the industrial network market, which focuses on new installed nodes within factory automation globally. As an independent supplier of solutions for industrial communication and the Industrial Internet of Things, HMS has an insight into the industrial network market. Here are some of the trends they see within industrial communication in 2019.

HMS Networks發布了工業網絡市場份額年度分析，主要關注的是全球工廠自動化中新安裝的節點。作為工業通訊和工業物聯網（IIoT）解決方案的獨立供應商，HMS對于工業網絡市場有著深刻的洞察力。以下是他們在2019年工業通訊領域看到的一些趨勢。

More and more industrial equipment is being connected to industrial networks. In 2019, the number of new connected nodes is expected to grow by 10%. Industrial Ethernet and Wireless continue to grow fast, but 2019 also marks the first year of fieldbus decline. These are the main findings in the annual study of the industrial network market by HMS Networks. Industrial Ethernet now accounts for 59% of new installed nodes (52% last year), while fieldbuses are on 35% (42). EtherNet/IP is still the most widely installed network at 15%, but PROFINET is closing in at 14%. Wireless technologies continue to develop strongly and are steady at 6% of the market (6).

越來越多的工業設備正不斷連接到工業網絡。在2019年，新連接節點數預期可增長10%。工業以太網和無線持續快速增長，而2019年也將首次出現現場總線的下降。這是HMS Networks公司關于工業網絡市場年度研究的主要發現。工業以太網現占據新安裝節點的59% (去年是52%)，而現場總線占據35% (去年是42%)。EtherNet/IP占據15%，依舊是最廣泛安裝的網絡，但PROFINET也非常接近，占14%。無線技術繼續強勢發展，并且繼續穩定占據 6%市場(去年也是6%)。

Continued growth for industrial Ethernet
工業以太網持續穩步增長

Last year, HMS concluded that Industrial Ethernet had surpassed traditional fieldbuses for the first time, and this development continues in 2019. With a steady growth rate of 20% (22), industrial Ethernet now makes up for 59% of the global market (compared to 52% last year). EtherNet/IP is the largest industrial Ethernet network with 15% of the market, but PROFINET has almost closed the gap and is now at 14%. Ethernet runners-up globally are EtherCAT at 7%, Ethernet POWERLINK at 5%, and Modbus-TCP at 4% all of which are showing stable growth.

去年，HMS總結工業以太網首次超越傳統現場總線，并且這種演變在2019年得以繼續。工業以太網現在以20%(去年22%)的穩步增長率，占據全球市場的59%(去年是52%)。其中，EtherNet/IP是最大的工業以太網網絡，占據市場的15%，但PROFINET在不?？s小差距，目前占14%。以太網全球領跑者還有占7%的EtherCAT，占5%的Ethernet POWERLINK，占4%的Modbus-TCP，所有這些都呈穩定增長態勢。

Fieldbuses are declining
現場總線正經歷下跌

For the first time ever, fieldbuses are declining by -5% (compared to a 6% growth last year), now accounting for 35% of new installed nodes.The dominant fieldbus is still PROFIBUS with 10% of the total world market, followed by CC-Link at 6% and Modbus-RTU at 5%.

有史以來第一次，現場總線下降了5% (去年增長6%)，目前占新安裝節點的35%。占據主導地位的現場總線依舊是PROFIBUS，占據全球市場的10%，占6%的CC-Link緊隨其后，再后面是Modbus-RTU，占5%。

Reflections on the industrial Ethernet growth and the fieldbus decline
工業以太網增長與現場總線下降的思考

“The transition to industrial Ethernet continues and is driven by the need for high performance and the need for integration between factory installations and IT-systems/IIoT applications,” says Anders Hansson, Chief Marketing Officer at HMS.

“向工業以太網的過渡仍在繼續，其驅動因素是對高性能的需求，以及工廠設施和IT系統/工業物聯網(IIoT)應用之間的集成需求，” HMS首席營銷官Anders Hansson指出道。

“For the first time we see that traditional fieldbuses actually decline in terms of new installed nodes. When it comes to industrial Ethernet, we see good growth for many networks – for the established Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT, POWERLINK and Modbus-TCP, as well as for the networks grouped in the ‘other Ethernet’ category. This fragmented Ethernet picture is very interesting, and it goes to prove that industrial Ethernet never standardized on one network as many predicted when the Ethernet-based networks first evolved in the 1990s. Just like the fieldbuses, the various Ethernet networks serve different purposes depending on industrial application.”

“就安裝節點而言，我們看到了傳統現場總線的首次真正下降。談到工業以太網，我們看到了許多網絡的良好增長，例如成熟的Ethernet/IP、PROFINET、EtherCAT、POWERLINK和Modbus-TCP，其他以太網也實現增長。這種碎片式的以太網圖譜非常有趣，也證明了工業以太網從沒有在一個網絡上標準化，正如許多人在上世紀90年代基于以太網的網絡首次發展時預測的那樣。也正如現場總線一樣，根據工業應用的不同，各種各樣的以太網網絡都有不同的用途。”

Still a strong drive for wireless solutions
無線解決方案依然強力增長

Wireless technologies are also growing steadily by 30% (32) and accounts for 6% (6) of the total market. Within Wireless, WLAN is the most popular technology, followed by Bluetooth. “Wireless is increasingly being used by machine builders and system integrators to realize new, innovative automation architectures. Users can reduce cabling and create new solutions for connectivity and control,” says Anders Hansson. “We also see increased activities globally around cellular technologies (e.g. Private LTE/5G networks) as enablers for Smart and Flexible Manufacturing in factories.”

無線技術也呈現了穩步增長，增長30%(去年32%)，占整個市場的6%(去年6%)。無線局域網(WLAN)是無線領域中最流行的技術，緊隨其后的是藍牙。“越來越多的機器制造商和系統集成商使用無線技術來實現新的、創新的自動化架構。用戶可以減少布線，并創建新的解決方案用于連接和控制，”Anders Hansson表示。“我們還看到全球圍繞蜂窩技術的活動有所增加(例如私人LTE/5G網絡)，推動著工廠的智能和靈活制造。”

Regional network variations
區域性的網絡變化

In Europe and the Middle East, EtherNet/IP and PROFINET are leading and PROFIBUS is still widely used. Other popular networks are EtherCAT and Ethernet POWERLINK.  The US market is dominated by the CIP networks, with a clear movement towards EtherNet/IP. EtherCAT is continuing to gain market share. In Asia, no network stands out as truly market-leading, but PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS, EtherCAT, Modbus and CC-Link are widely used, with the Ethernet version CC-Link IE Field also gaining traction.

在歐洲和中東，EtherNet/IP和PROFINET處于領先地位，PROFIBUS也有廣泛使用。其他流行的網絡是EtherCAT和以太網POWERLINK。美國市場由CIP網絡主導，明顯傾向于發展EtherNet/IP。 EtherCAT也在不斷獲得市場份額。在亞洲，沒有真正主導市場的網絡，但PROFINET、EtherNet/IP、PROFIBUS、EtherCAT、Modbus和CC-Link應用較廣，以太網版本的CC-Link IE Field也越來越受歡迎
