We report on a Synchronous Ethernet based clock distribution and timestamp synchronization implementation over 1000BASE-T (Gigabit over twisted pair) Ethernet. A central 125 MHz global clock is distributed to all detector modules using only commercial off-the-shelf components. The timestamps generated on different modules has a maximum fixed offset of 24-60 ns (depending on the switch tested), and...
The PROFINET IEC 61158 standardized Real Time Ethernet (RTE) protocol, Class C, has traditionally been limited by an artificially imposed 250us cycle time, originating from the requirement to ensure that full-sized legacy Ethernet frames can be transmitted in a single cycle through a network. Occasionally, especially in the case of high performance motion-control systems, this minimum cycle time is...
Ethernet based network protocol replaces fieldbus systems due to its high speed, safety, and extendibility. At the system level, use of an additional network requires effort to implement the new environment. The user has to analyze and organize two networks. This paper proposes FPGA based network controller between Ethernet and EtherCAT. It does not incur additional cost and effort. As it is based...
As real-time industrial control systems scale up, single real-time local area network (LAN) is no longer sufficient; instead, we need real-time switches to merge many real-time LANs into real-time wide area networks (WANs). However, nowadays commercially-off-the-shelf WAN switches are designed for best-effort Internet traffic rather than real-time traffic. To address this problem, we propose a real-time...
