This paper describes the implementation of DCS communication network that provides high bandwidth and reliability. The network for DCS in this paper adopts the Reflective Memory (RM) architecture and Fast Ethernet physical media that have 100 Mbps bandwidth. Also, This network uses Ring Enhancement Device (RED) which is invented to reduce the time delay of each node. The DCS network that is introduced in this paper is named as ERCNet (Ethernet based Real-time Control Network). This paper describes the architecture and working algorithms of ERCNet and performs numerical analysis. In addition, the performance of ERCNet is evaluated by experiment using the developed ERCNet network.

Recently, Ethernet-based Diagnostic Over Internet Protocol (DoIP) was applied to automotive systems, and in-vehicle gateways have been introduced to integrate Ethernet with traditional in-vehicle networks, such as the local interconnect network (LIN), controller area network (CAN) and FlexRay. The introduction of in-vehicle gateways and of Ethernet based diagnostic protocols not only decreases the complexity of the networks, but also reduces the update time for ECU software reprogramming while enabling the use of a range of services, including remote diagnostics. In this paper, a diagnostic gateway was implement for an automotive system, and the performance measurements are presented. In addition, a range of applications provided by the diagnostic gateway are proposed.

Avionic databuses fulfill a critical function in the connection and communication of aircraft components and functions such as flight-control, navigation, and monitoring. Ethernet-based avionic databuses have become the mainstream for large aircraft owning to their advantages of full-duplex communication with high bandwidth, low latency, low packet-loss, and low cost. As a new generation aviation network communication standard, avionics full-duplex switched ethernet (AFDX) adopted concepts from the telecom standard, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM). In this technology, the switches are the key devices influencing the overall performance. This paper reviews the avionic databus with emphasis on the switch architecture classifications. Based on a comparison, analysis, and discussion of the different switch architectures, we propose a new avionic switch design based on a time-division switch fabric for high flexibility and scalability. This also merges the design concept of space-partition switch fabric to achieve reliability and predictability. The new switch architecture, called space partitioned shared memory switch (SPSMS), isolates the memory space for each output port. This can reduce the competition for resources and avoid conflicts, decrease the packet forwarding latency through the switch, and reduce the packet loss rate. A simulation of the architecture with optimized network engineering tools (OPNET) confirms the efficiency and significant performance improvement over a classic shared memory switch, in terms of overall packet latency, queuing delay, and queue size.

We propose a high speed data communication method for motor drive systems with fast control cycle in order to collect state variables of motor control without degrading control performance. Ethernet is chosen for communication device, and multi-core DSP architecture is exploited for communication processing load distribution. The communication program including network protocol stack and motor control program are assigned to two separate cores, and data between two cores are exchanged using interrupt-based inter-process communication mechanism, which enables to achieve a high-speed communication performance without degrading the motor control performance. The performance of developed communication method is demonstrated by real experiments using TCP, UDP and Raw Socket protocols in an experimental setup consisting of TI's TMS320F28388D motor control card and MS Windows PC.

In this study, a parallel performance of CUPID-code has been investigated for both Ethernet and Infiniband network system to examine the effect of cache memory and network-speed. Bi-conjugate gradient solver of CUPID-code has been parallelised by using domain decomposition method and message passing interface (MPI). It is shown that the parallel performance of Ethernet-network system is worse than that of Infiniband-network system due to the slow network-speed and a small cache memory. It is also found that the parallel performance of each system deteriorates for a small problem due to the communication overhead, but the performance of Infiniband-network system is better than Ethernet-network system due to a much faster network-speed. For a large problem, the parallel performance depends less on network system.

In Train Control Network(TCN), to support advanced services beyond control applications, it was revised to support high speed ethernet as IEC 61375-2-5(ETB) and IEC 61375-3-4(ECN). And Train Topology Discovery Protocol(TTDP) was included by which train-consist can be automatically configured. Meanwhile, to adopt wireless LAN as an next onboard network, TTDP need to be modified to reflect the characteristics of WLAN. This paper proposed a TTDP for WLAN using transmission power control and the number of HELLO-ACK handshake. And it determined whether the TTDP executed using the two WLAN interfaces having different bandwidths is correct or not. The proposed TTDP can allow to reduce interference from other nodes. For evaluation of performance of TTDP, NS-2 was used. The evaluation result shows the high reliability of the TTDP in wireless environment.

IEC61850 which has comes to international standard for substation automation is designed with a station and process bus communication with Ethernet. In this paper, mentioning difference between official networks and substation networks, authors present the requirements for temperature, humidity and EMI characteristics. The properties which network switch should be satisfied and the technologies which make those requirements possible are also proposed. Additionally, we analysis the traffic pattern of communication services which IEC61850 supports. Based on the pattern, we propose a practical design example of IEC61850 based network for a 154kV substation.

Recently, vital devices of the railway signaling systems have been computerized in order to ensure safe train operation. Due to this computerization, we have gradually come to need networking interfaces between these devices. Thus it is important that there be reliable communication links in the signaling systems. Network technologies are applied in the real-time industrial control system, and there are numerous studies to be carried out on the computer network technology for vital control systems such as railway signaling systems. For deploying the studies, we consider costs, reliability, safety assurance technique, compatibility, and etc. In this paper, we propose the Ethernet for railway signaling systems and also precisely describe the computer network characteristics of vital railway signaling systems. Then we demonstrate the experimental results of the proposed network algorithm, which is based on switched Ethernet technology with redundancy scheme.
