Abstract :
A direct sensor to actuator communication model for Ethernet-based Networked Control Systems (NCSs) is presented in this paper. This model is compared to a previously introduced model including an in-loop controller node. OMNET simulations showed the success of the presented model in meeting system delay and strict zero packet loss (with no over-delayed packets) requirements. The model also showed a reduction in the end-to-end delay of control packets from sensor nodes to actuator nodes in both Fast and Gigabit switched Ethernet-Based. A major improvement is the increase in the amount of additional load the proposed model can accommodate.
