RAPIEnet(Real-time Automation Protocols for Industrial Ethernet) wasKorea's firstEthernetinternational standard for real-time data transmission. It is an Ethernet-based industrial networking protocol,[1]developed in-house by LSIS offers real-time transmission and is registered as an international standard.[2](IEC 61158-3-21: 2010, IEC 61158-4-21: 2010, IEC 61158-5-21: 2010, IEC 61158-6-21: 2010, IEC 61784-2: 2010, IEC 62439-7)
Features
[edit]- An embeddedEthernet switchwith two ports enables the network expansion in a daisy chain without the need for an additional external switch, easy installation and wiring reduction.[1]
- 100 Mbit/s - 1 Gbit/s transmission speed, allowing electrical and optical media to be used together.[1][3]
- Supports transmission modes such asUnicast,Multicast,andBroadcast.[1]
- Supports "Store & Forward”and “Cut Through”switching.[1]

- An embedded hardware-based switch is adopted for real-time data transmission.
- With the full-duplex communication support, each node has dual link routes in a ring topology.

Recovery System
[edit]- With an embedded switch and full-duplex, it has dual link routes and communication fault tolerance, enabling fast recovery capabilities.
- - Recovery time < 10 ms[1]

- Transmits signal from Device 1 to Device 3.
- A fault occurs between Device 2 and Device 3.
- Notify the fault from Device 2 to Device 1.
- Transmits signal back from Device 1 to Device 3.

- Fiber Optics/Copper Media
- - Copper: Low installation costs with relatively big noise.
- - Optics: High installation costs with low noise and relatively long wiring.
- Simple and efficient wiring is available by combining the features of two wires that have advantages and disadvantages.
