چکیده
Ethernet is the most famous type of communication network used for office applications. Currently, networks used on field level and on office level are different due to their specific requirements. Especially for real-time systems, the deterministic behavior of the network is very important. Now Switched Ethernet seems to be applicable also on field level, because collisions can be avoided and priorities can be used. In this paper Switched Ethernet networks with different topologies are analyzed concerning the transmission delays. Therefore a typical master-slave scenario of an automation system is investigated.

متن کاملAchieving Realtime Capabilities in Ethernet Networks by Edge-Coloring of Communication Conflict-Multigraphs
This paper presents a top-down Quality-of-Service (QoS) approach to design realtime Ethernet networks for automation systems based upon tree topologies. Therefore, the parallelism of switched unicast communication is utilized by generating an off-line schedule, which considers each port of a switch as an exclusive networking resource. We point out that the schedule can be generated independentl...
