Part of the ISA/O3neida series, this book discusses networksystems in industrial automation and their features related toreal-time and functional safety requirements. The basics ofstandard Ethernet are introduced, specifying the Open SystemInterconnection (OSI) reference model layers and identifyingEthernet’s drawbacks. Clarification on the requirements and thesolutions adopted by the presented communication protocols is alsoaddressed. Real-time capability is defined with regard tocommunication within safety-related systems, underlying the strictcorrelation between time performances and external requirements.Finally, the specifications of the safety profiles of fivecommunication protocols (namely PROFIsafe, Ethernet PowerlinkSafety, SERCOS III Safety, EtherCAT Safety, and Ethernet/IP Safety)are investigated.
