The document provides an overview of Panduit's Unified Physical Infrastructure (UPI) principles and reference architecture for industrial automation physical infrastructure design. It describes how Panduit maps the logical network design to the physical implementation using standards like the Purdue Enterprise Reference Architecture and Cisco/Rockwell Automation network guides. Panduit then adds detailed physical infrastructure design and component selection based on environmental considerations to provide a complete solution that ensures performance, security, optimization and expansion of the physical network layer.
