Automation in Plant Factory with Labor-saving Conveyance System

Latency in Factory Automation

Latency is a critical parameter in Ethernet networks developed for Factory Automation applications. Latency is not a defined value for Ethernet as specified by the IEEE 802.3 standard. Nor is Ethernet inherently synchronous or repeatable. This disconnect between the inherent characteristics of Ethernet and the needs of Factory Automation applications must be bridged though careful architecture ...
