The present disclosure relates to a method for setting a link speed of a dual port switch, and more particularly, to a method for setting a link speed of a dual port switch, which controls link speeds of ports, which are included in the dual port switch using a cut-through packet switching scheme, to be equal to each other.

Method for setting link speed of dual port switch

In some embodiments, a PLC system including a first CPU comprising a first media access control (MAC) communications layer and configured to generate data necessary for operation of the CPU, perform control operation based on the generated data, and transmit the generated data to a second CPU via the first MAC communications layer is included. The PLC system may further include the second CPU comprising a second MAC communications layer receiving the generated data via the first MAC communications layer and configured to perform service operation based on the received data. The first CPU may be connected to a memory in which data to be transmitted to the second CPU is stored at a predetermined location, and the second CPU may receive the data stored in the predetermined location of the memory by a direct memory access (DMA) scheme.

Programmable logic controller system

The present disclosure relates to a frame reception monitoring method, including: when a plurality of sub-frames constituting a frame is each entered into a reception buffer at certain time intervals, allowing the respective sub-frames to be stored on a temporal buffer; allowing the plurality of sub-frames stored on the temporal buffer to be entered into a service buffer within a predetermined inter-sub-frames time-out time; using the plurality of sub-frames entered into the service buffer to generate a combined frame; and using the combined frame to execute a control.

Frame reception monitoring method in serial communications

The present disclosure relates to a hardware protocol stack, and more particularly, to a hardware protocol stack to which a user-defined protocol is applicable. The present disclosure compares header information stored in a register unit with header information of a received frame, and determines a processing of the received frame on the basis of a comparison result. Also, according to a determined frame process method, data of the received frame is processed based on a logic according to the header information, it is stored at a designated position, or a response frame is transmitted.

Hardware protocol stack with user-defined protocol applied thereto and method for applying user-defined protocol to hardware protocol stack

In some embodiments, a method of automatically setting a protocol is performed in a protocol automatic setting server communicating with a client in a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system. The method can include receiving a request frame from a client; analyzing a protocol of the request frame based on a protocol stack and determining a response frame corresponding to the request frame according to an analysis result; and transmitting the response frame to the client. The server can automatically analyze a request frame from the client based on the protocol stack, and thus conventional protocol presetting can be eliminated.

Method of automatically setting protocol in programmable logic controller system

Provided is a PLC network extension system, the system including a basic base generating a control data for controlling a plurality of extension bases, generating a network frame using the control data, and transmitting the network frame to one extension base in the plurality of extension bases via a network cable, and the plurality of extension bases extracting a control data from the received network frame to control a pre-installed module based on the control data.

PLC network extension system

The present invention connects a ring topology Ethernet network to other networks of various shapes. To that end, a first ring topology network configured in a ring shape has three or more expandable nodes (each have three or more Ethernet ports), and is connected to other networks through Ethernet ports that are not used for the formation of the first ring topology network among Ethernet ports of the expandable node. Thus, it is possible to add equipment without changing a ring topology network previously built and it is possible to integrate and manage networks of various shapes into a single network.

Expandable Ethernet ring topology network and communication method thereof

A hub-free network system is provided in which control systems can operate normally for mutual communications, even though one of the plurality of control systems malfunctions. Each of the plurality of control systems has a network interface card, and each of the network interface cards has a plurality of communication ports. Each of the network interface cards has a phase structure of ring topology by sequentially connecting a plurality of the communication ports. The plurality of the control systems perform the communications in the phase structure of ring topology, and perform the communications by changing the phase structure of ring topology to a phase structure of bus topology if an error occurs in the communications.
