摘要

The evolution of industrial communication has brought the use of networks in control to the mainstream. Monitoring and control systems wherein data are transferred through a network are already used in most industrial control and monitoring applications. Using a distributed architecture has many advantages over a point-to-point design such as low cost of installation, easy of maintenance and flexibility. Today, leading manufacturers of control and monitoring technology offer network interfaces for their devices. Decreasing costs and increasing demand for a single, standard network type, from boardroom to plant-floor, have led to the development of Industrial Ethernet.
