Abstract

This paper presents a simple and efficient switched Ethernet communication protocol for industrial hard real-time LAN applications. The protocol does not need any modifications in the Ethernet hardware and coexists with TCP/IP suites, therefore, the LAN with the protocol can be connected to any existing Ethernet networks and support both real-time traffic and best-effort traffic. Compared to some conventional hard real-time network protocols, the proposed one has better real-time performances, and meets the requirements of reliability for hard real-time system applications.
