Method, node and network for cyclical transmission of ethernet telegrams

摘要

The method involves converting the data to be sent in accordance with a transmission standard of the Ethernet protocol to produce Ethernet messages and cyclically sending the messages using a defined Ethernet transmission standard. The transmission process is controlled so that the next message following a sent message is sent while maintaining the pause time defined in the standard so that messages are output continuously during the entire cycle time. Independent claims are also included for the following: (A) a node for an Ethernet network (B) and an Ethernet network.
