As part of its global focus on factory automation,帕克-Hannifin在其阀门平台中添加了一个扩展的网络连接选项范围，并添加了易于配置，经济高效的以太网节点。该公司在此期间展示了新功能Pack Expo Las Vegas 2019along with an IIoT demo incorporating Parker drives, pneumatics, and a central controller that gathered data in real time. Designed with Industrial Ethernet connectivity in mind, the P2M Industrial Ethernet network node allows for an inexpensive means of connecting the H Series valve, the Moduflex valve, and the H Micro valve families to the Industrial Ethernet network, according to Parker.
此外，P2M网络节点是安全功率的能力，否则可以通过安全装置提供辅助阀功率，以支持欧洲机械指令。P2M工业以太网节点提供（2）M12端口，用于网络/ OUT和（1）M12电源连接。
The P2M Industrial Ethernet node expands the Parker valves network capabilities with integrated diagnostics. The P2M Industrial Ethernet node complements Parker’s continues to focus on reducing complexity and cost at the machine while supporting the simple diagnostics required for achieving the spirit of the Smart Factory & Industry 4.0.
现在提供全方位的连接选项，包括以太网/ IP，PROFINET IO，EtherCAT，以太网PowerLink和Modbus / TCP网络协议。
