Abstract

This paper presents a computer tool to support in the project and development of an industrial Ethernet network, verifying the physical layer (cables-resistance and capacitance, scan time, network power supply-POE's concept "Power Over Ethernet" and wireless), and occupation rate (amount of information transmitted to the network versus the controller network scan time). These functions are accomplished without a single physical element installed in the network, using only simulation. The computer tool has a software that presents a detailed vision of the network to the user, besides showing some possible problems in the network, and having an extremely friendly environment.

摘要

本文介绍了一种计算机工具，用于支持工业以太网网络的项目和开发，可验证物理层（电缆电阻和电容、扫描时间、网络电源——POE的“以太网供电”概念和无线）以及占用率（传输到网络的信息量与控制器网络扫描时间之比）。这些功能仅通过模拟实现，无需在网络中安装任何物理元件。该计算机工具具有一款软件，除了向用户展示网络的一些可能问题外，还能为用户呈现网络的详细视图，并且拥有极其友好的环境。
