Why Has The H2 Bus Standard With 1mbps And 2.5mbps Been Withdrawn? Is It Only To Make It Compatible With 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet And Tcp/ip? |

Answer» Basically, yes! The INTENTION is to take advantage of the COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT of ethernet, which has PRODUCED very low-cost, high-performance hardware. (But watch out for the DISTANCE limits on ethernet, unless you use fibre-optic cable.) TCP/IP will be the basis of the HSE fieldbus, but is not adequate as it stands; enhancements are needed to support the desired predictability of performance. Basically, yes!
