Terms can sometimes play tricks on the mind. Take EtherNet/IP, for example. Many people will read “IP” as internet protocol and think that EtherNet/IP refers to plain old, standard industrial Ethernet ...

In the last RTFM we saw how IP packets are transmitted across the network. Here, we tackle Ethernet and see how packets are encapsulated and used. To explain fully the way in which IP packets are used ...

Ethernet has dominated wired computer-networking technology for decades, evidenced by its wide adoption in office, business, data-center, and home applications. Only more recently, though, has ...

Ethernet is ubiquitous. As long as it is the protocol of choice in IT, and the cost of even industrially hardened Ethernet switches and I/O are low, Ethernet will remain the communication protocol of ...

The technology started with 10-Mb/s coax cabling (10BASE5). Twisted-pair and RJ45 connectors quickly replaced that, while fiber optics was implemented for high-speed, long-distance communication.

This application note presents the protocol conversion between Ethernet and USB. The document also presents the operating environment, the sample program operation overview and the specifications of ...

Like many words in the English language, “network” and “protocol” have different meanings, depending on the context. In the context of digital communications, Merriam-Webster defines network as “a ...

While there are many ways to connect components in embedded systems, the most prominent are the high speed serial standards of Ethernet, PCI Express, and RapidIO. All of these standards leverage ...

When designing FPGA-based Ethernet connected embedded systems the priority and necessity of requirements such as cost, area, flexibility etc. varies for each system. Simplified for most systems, it ...
