Abstract

This research provides a simulation scenario for testing the efficacy of switched Ethernet as a controller network's communication medium. Ethernet has become the standard LAN technology due to its cheap cost and ease of implementation. When developing software, using Ethernet rather of a specialized industrial protocol for communication might save time and effort. Some of the most significant issues with utilizing Ethernet in controller networks have been eradicated with the advent of Fast Ethernet and micro-segmentation. This opens the door for interoperability between controller networks and larger corporate and international infrastructures. Queue management as a subject reveals several openings for satisfying needs for various service varieties. Simulation analysis using the NS2 network simulator is used for the assessment. The findings are put to use in analyzing and enhancing the communication performance of the multi-tier paradigm utilized in distributed automation. In the multi-tier concept, several suggested classes are utilized to prioritize various types of CNDEP traffic.
