HMS Networks Report: industrial Ethernet now makes up for 59% of the global market
HMS發(fā)布2019工業(yè)網(wǎng)絡市場份額報告：工業(yè)以太網(wǎng)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(fā)布了工業(yè)網(wǎng)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(jié)點。作為工業(yè)通訊和工業(yè)物聯(lián)網(wǎng)（IIoT）解決方案的獨立供應商，HMS對于工業(yè)網(wǎng)絡市場有著深刻的洞察力。以下是他們在2019年工業(yè)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(yè)設備正不斷連接到工業(yè)網(wǎng)絡。在2019年，新連接節(jié)點數(shù)預期可增長10%。工業(yè)以太網(wǎng)和無線持續(xù)快速增長，而2019年也將首次出現(xiàn)現(xiàn)場總線的下降。這是HMS Networks公司關于工業(yè)網(wǎng)絡市場年度研究的主要發(fā)現(xiàn)。工業(yè)以太網(wǎng)現(xiàn)占據(jù)新安裝節(jié)點的59% (去年是52%)，而現(xiàn)場總線占據(jù)35% (去年是42%)。EtherNet/IP占據(jù)15%，依舊是最廣泛安裝的網(wǎng)絡，但PROFINET也非常接近，占14%。無線技術繼續(xù)強勢發(fā)展，并且繼續(xù)穩(wěn)定占據(jù) 6%市場(去年也是6%)。

Continued growth for industrial Ethernet
工業(yè)以太網(wǎng)持續(xù)穩(wěn)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(yè)以太網(wǎng)首次超越傳統(tǒng)現(xiàn)場總線，并且這種演變在2019年得以繼續(xù)。工業(yè)以太網(wǎng)現(xiàn)在以20%(去年22%)的穩(wěn)步增長率，占據(jù)全球市場的59%(去年是52%)。其中，EtherNet/IP是最大的工業(yè)以太網(wǎng)網(wǎng)絡，占據(jù)市場的15%，但PROFINET在不停縮小差距，目前占14%。以太網(wǎng)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(wěn)定增長態(tài)勢。

Fieldbuses are declining
現(xiàn)場總線正經(jīng)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(xiàn)場總線下降了5% (去年增長6%)，目前占新安裝節(jié)點的35%。占據(jù)主導地位的現(xiàn)場總線依舊是PROFIBUS，占據(jù)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(yè)以太網(wǎng)增長與現(xiàn)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(yè)以太網(wǎng)的過渡仍在繼續(xù)，其驅動因素是對高性能的需求，以及工廠設施和IT系統(tǒng)/工業(yè)物聯(lián)網(wǎng)(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(jié)點而言，我們看到了傳統(tǒng)現(xiàn)場總線的首次真正下降。談到工業(yè)以太網(wǎng)，我們看到了許多網(wǎng)絡的良好增長，例如成熟的Ethernet/IP、PROFINET、EtherCAT、POWERLINK和Modbus-TCP，其他以太網(wǎng)也實現(xiàn)增長。這種碎片式的以太網(wǎng)圖譜非常有趣，也證明了工業(yè)以太網(wǎng)從沒有在一個網(wǎng)絡上標準化，正如許多人在上世紀90年代基于以太網(wǎng)的網(wǎng)絡首次發(fā)展時預測的那樣。也正如現(xiàn)場總線一樣，根據(jù)工業(yè)應用的不同，各種各樣的以太網(wǎng)網(wǎng)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(xiàn)了穩(wěn)步增長，增長30%(去年32%)，占整個市場的6%(去年6%)。無線局域網(wǎng)(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(tǒng)集成商使用無線技術來實現(xiàn)新的、創(chuàng)新的自動化架構。用戶可以減少布線，并創(chuàng)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(wǎng)絡)，推動著工廠的智能和靈活制造。”

Regional network variations
區(qū)域性的網(wǎng)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(wǎng)絡是EtherCAT和以太網(wǎng)POWERLINK。美國市場由CIP網(wǎng)絡主導，明顯傾向于發(fā)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(wǎng)絡，但PROFINET、EtherNet/IP、PROFIBUS、EtherCAT、Modbus和CC-Link應用較廣，以太網(wǎng)版本的CC-Link IE Field也越來越受歡迎
