Process for real-time communication between several network participants in a communication system with ethernet physics and corresponding communication system with ethernet physics

摘要

For real-time communication between several network participants in a communication system with Ethernet physics, the slave units are synchronized with the master unit by clocking each slave unit with a predetermined total cycle time via a respective time counter, which is cyclically triggered by the receipt of a respective slave-specific synchronization information determined by the master unit is set. Each time counter of a slave unit automatically starts a new cycle even if there is no synchronization information after the specified total cycle time has expired. Access control for the transmission mode and reception mode between the network participants takes place via a time slot access method.
