Hirschmann Networking Interoperability to Industrial/Process and EtherNet/IP Environments

Tags:

Overview Originally published by Xerox in 1976 and introduced as the IEEE 802.3 standard in 1985, the networking protocol popularly known as "Ethernet" has steadily evolved to encompass commercial, residential, and industrial applications, in roughly that order. Late to participate, industrial users are readily adopting Ethernet, encouraged by GM's March 2003 endorsement that the "Technology is now proven and ready to be deployed on the factor floor." Ethernet's acceptance is a result of the protocol's ability to satisfy five needs required in industrial networking: performance (response time, bandwidth and scalability), resilience, ruggedness, economy, and interoperability.
