EPA protocol-based industrial Ethernet communication method supporting real-time and non-real-time application

Abstract

The invention relates to the fields of automation and data communication, in particular to an industrial Ethernet data communication method supporting real-time and non-real-time automatic application, and can solve the problem to achieve highly real-time communication of an industrial Ethernet in motion control. The method comprises that: when real-time data is generated in the real-time application process of an environmental protection agency (EPA) field device, the data enters a real-time channel, and a real-time data identifier is added at the tail of the whole data frame through the real-time channel; after receiving a real-time data message, the EPA field device begins to scan from the tail of the whole data frame and judges whether the real-time data identifier is identified as the real-time data, if so, the data frame is transmitted into an EPA real-time data channel; and when the EPA field device receives or transmits a non-real-time data message, the non-real-time data is processed by a standard transmission control protocol (TCP) user datagram protocol (UDP) / internet protocol (IP) protocol entity and an EPA communication dispatching management entity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of automation and data communication, in particular to an industrial Ethernet data communication method supporting real-time and non-real-time automation applications. Background technique [0002] Industrial Ethernet technology for industrial measurement and control systems integrates automation, communication and computer technologies.
