The IEEE 802.1 time sensitive networking working group has recently standardized the time
aware shaper (TAS). The TAS provides deterministic latency guarantees but requires tight …

In two editions spanning more than a decade, The Electrical Engineering Handbook stands
as the definitive reference to the multidisciplinary field of electrical engineering. Our …

Despite early attempts to use Ethernet in the industrial context, only recently has it attracted
a lot of attention as a support for industrial communication. A number of vendors are offering …

Featuring contributions from major technology vendors, industry consortia, and government
and private research establishments, the Industrial Communication Technology Handbook …

Configuration processes of real-time networks are costly both in terms of time and
engineering effort and require the system to be shutdown during the reconfiguration phase …

Ethernet, the most widely used commodity network, increasingly moves toward switches as
implementation technology thus replacing buses. This allows to use traffic shaping …

Ethernet 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 …

During the past few years there has been an dramatic upsurge in research and
development, implementations of new technologies, and deployments of actual solutions …

This paper presents an algorithm that allows one to create a static schedule of the Profinet
IO IRT (Isochronous Real Time) communication, which is an industrial Ethernet protocol …

In this paper, the open source project RTnet is presented. RTnet provides a customisable
and extensible framework for hard real-time communication over Ethernet and other …
