Abstract :
The Ethernet technology dominates the market of computer networks. However, it was not been established as technology for industrial automation, where the requirements demand determinism and real-time performance. Many solutions have been proposed to solve the problem of non-determinism, which are based on TDMA (time division multiple access), token passing and master-slave. This article realizes measurements performance comparing implementations in the data communication with UDP and RAW Ethernet protocols, identifying the most viable alternative to support the development of real-time application to industrial automation networks
