Despite having been designed to interconnect office equipment such as computers and printers, since its early daysEthernet has also been considered for use in the industrial domain. However, it was not originally developed to meet the requirements of real-time industrial automation systems and it was commonly considered unsuited for applications at the field level, i.e.to interconnect sensors, actuators and controllers. Therefore, along its 30 years of existence, several proposals have been presented to make this protocol exhibit real-timebehaviour. Nevertheless, these proposals either require specialised hardware, or are suited to soft-real-time operation only, or are bandwidth or response-time inefficient. This paper presents an overview about the work previously done towards real-time communication on Ethernet. Then, it presents a new protocol, FTT-Ethernet, which relies on common network adapters and on a new transmission control named master/multi-slave that efficiently supports hard-real-time operation in a flexible way.
