How to Guarantee Realtime Behavior using Ethernet

Abstract Ethernet is now conquering the field level in automation technology. Realtime behavior is a knock-out criterion therefore. This paper deals with the key concepts for guaranteed realtime behavior using Ethernet, based on the requirements of factory automation. A classification of the vendor-driven approaches that are currently under discussion for realtime Ethernet is provided.
