Introduction: history

In
the early 80s, the first industrial network was created for data collection,
In
the 90s, control (automation) networks start to emerge,
Nowadays,
new networks are implemented for intelligent devices including wireless,
remote access, direct link to a bundle of ERP software. 

Introduction: deployment

According
to ARC, the worldwide market for industrial Ethernet devices is expected
to grow by 84.1% over the next five years
Today,
with 1 million nodes, Industrial Ethernet represents approximatly 6%
of the total actual potential. In 2007, Industrial Ethernet will represents
nearly 40% of the potential. Moreover, the potential is increasing as
well due to the easier access to production automation.
Europe
and USA are representing the majority of this market

Introduction: Reasons

Ethernet
is a international standard,
Ethernet
has been used in office networks for decades,
Ethernet is an open system,
Ethernet
has the lowest installed cost,
Ethernet
is common from office to shop floor,
Ethernet
is enabling technology and is ready for intelligent networking.

Example of topologies

Network
topologies is the arrangement of elements (physical, logic, virtual)
of a network.
