Abstract

This paper deals with the design and implementation of an Ethernet-based communication protocol to be used in PC-based I/O interface systems. Recently, the performance of PC systems is being highly improved and Ethernet is used as the stable communication network over the world. We develop a new protocol driver with the capability of accessing Ethernet directly using NDIS(Network Driver Interface Specification), the network interface standard of Windows O.S. in PC, and install it at the application layer of the protocol structure. Its major roles are the supplement of CSMA/CD algorithm, the effective use of the long data frame of Ethernet, and the real-time transmission of data frames. This paper represents the possibility of the real-time control network and systems based on PCs and Ethernet.
