Abstract

The rapid development of intelligent manufacturing industry has also put forward higher requirements for industrial networks, especially the emergence of intelligent factories and intelligent processing tedious processes, requiring that the network be able to achieve seamless communication, real-time efficiency and high-speed redundancy. Siemens Industrial Ethernet is proposed in this context. Taking the actual industrial network as an example, this paper puts forward two effective and feasible network construction models by using Siemens advanced industrial network, and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of these two models so that the designers can use them better.
