Industrial Ethernet Industrial Ethernet ... from the Office to the Machine - world wide - Band I Ronald Dietrich Industrial Ethernet ... from the Office to the machine - world wide - HARTING The best connections worldwide – because quality connects. HARTING was founded in 1945 by the family that still retains sole ownership of the company. HARTING presently employs more than 2 000 people including 150 highly qualified engineers and over 100 sales engineers who take care of the daily needs of our customers. Today, HARTING is the leading manufacturer of connectors with 34 subsidiary companies in Europe, America and Asia. As the market leader, HARTING offers the advantage of ‘just in time’ services. It is therefore no wonder that the company maintains close business relationships with all of its important customers active in the world market. HARTING is the market leader in several of its product sectors. HARTING can draw on many years of extensive experience gained in achieving high degrees of protection in industrial environments (IP 65 and higher), all of which has flowed into expanding its product portfolio as well as the development of its family of devices for industrial communication. HARTING products are manufactured utilizing cutting edge and efficient productions methods. CAD systems support research and development as well as tool making activities. We abide by our philosophy of quality, which states that only fully automatic manufacturing processes can achieve a zero error rate. In accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001, the organisation and procedures constituting our quality assurance measures are documented in a quality assurance manual. HARTING employs approximately 60 members of staff in quality assurance. The majority of them are highly qualified engineers and technicians who have gained their qualifications through the German Society for Quality (DGQ) or the Swiss Association for Quality (SAQ).

  • Ethernet Switches and Crossover Cables
    Ethernet Switch A switch is something that is used to turn various electronic devices on or off. However, in computernetworking, a switch is used to connect multiple computers with each other. Since it is an external device it becomes part of the hardware peripherals used in the operation of a computer system. This connection is done within an existing Local Area network (LAN) only and is identical to an Ethernet hub in terms of appearance, but with more intelligence. These switches not only receive data packets, but also have the ability to inspect them before passing them on to the next computer. That is, they can figure out the source, the contents of the data, and identify the destination as well. As a result of this uniqueness, it sends the data to the relevant connected system only, thereby using less bandwidth at high performance rates. The first Ethernet network switch was pioneered by Kalpana (computer networking equipmentmanufacturing company in Silicon Valley established by an entrepreneur of Indian origin, Vinod Bharadwaj) in 1990. Switches operate at Layer 2 of the OSI Model; the Data-Link Layer. This is in contrast to routers, which operate at Layer 3 of the OSI Model, the Network Layer. A switch stores the MAC Address of each and every device which is connected to it. The switch will then evaluate every frame that passes through it. The switch will examine the destination MAC Address in each frame. Based upon the destination MAC Address, the switch will then decide which port to copy the frame to. If the switch does not recognize the MAC Address, it will not know which port to copy the frame to.

  • Gigabit Ethernet - CH 3 - Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethern
    Switched, Fast, and Gigabit Ethernet - CH 3 - Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethern.. Page 1 of 36 [Figures are not included in this sample chapter] Switched, Fast, and Gigabit Ethernet - 3 - Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet Standards This chapter discusses the theory and standards of the three versions of Ethernet around today: regular 10Mbps Ethernet, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet, and 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet. The goal of this chapter is to educate you as a LAN manager or IT professional about essential differences between shared 10Mbps Ethernet and these newer technologies. This chapter focuses on aspects of Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet that are relevant to you and doesn’t get into too much technical detail. Read this chapter and the following two (Chapter 4, "Layer 2 Ethernet Switching," and Chapter 5, "VLANs and Layer 3 Switching") together. This chapter focuses on the different Ethernet MAC and PHY standards, as well as repeaters, also known as hubs. Chapter 4 examines Ethernet bridging, also known as Layer 2 switching. Chapter 5 discusses VLANs, some basics of routing, and Layer 3 switching. These three chapters serve as a precursor to the second half of this book, namely the hands-on implementation in Chapters 8 through 12. After you understand the key differences between yesterday’s shared Ethernet and today’s Switched, Fast, and Gigabit Ethernet, evaluating products and building a network with these products should be relatively straightforward. The chapter is split into seven sections: l "Ethernet and the OSI Reference Model" discusses the OSI Reference Model and how Ethernet relates to the physical (PHY) and Media Access Control (MAC) layers of the OSI model.

  • The Future of CAN / Canopen and the Industrial Ethernet Challenge by Wilfried Voss, President Esd Electronics, Inc USA
    The Future of CAN / CANopen and the Industrial Ethernet Challenge by Wilfried Voss, President esd electronics, Inc USA Industrial Ethernet technologies are a formidable challenge to CANopen as the low-cost industrial networking technology of choice. Ethernet technologies will eventually replace the majority of CANopen applications, at least in regards to new developments. For many years, Controller Area Network (CAN) and CANopen, a higher-layer protocol based on CAN, represented the best choice for low-cost industrial embedded networking. However, since the official introduction of CAN in 1986, there has been a quest to replace CAN and CANopen to overcome the most obvious shortcomings such as limited baud rate and limited network length. Industrial Ethernet technologies are currently the most formidable challenge to CANopen as the low-cost industrial networking technology of choice. Ethernet technologies will eventually replace the majority of CANopen applications, at least in regards to new developments, starting at this very moment in certain areas such as industrial control including motion control and, especially, robotics. Ironically, CAN - the underlying hardware layer of CANopen - has a far greater lifetime expectancy in the North American market than CANopen as a higher layer protocol. However, there can be too much of a good thing, and that is definitely the case when it comes to Ethernet-based fieldbus technologies. There are currently more than 20 different industrial Ethernet solutions available, all with their distinctive advantages and disadvantages, making a pro/contra decision difficult. The major question, besides the technical aspect, is which of these technologies will survive in the market, and how do they support the current need for control components.
