Ethernet Definition (Wikipedia)

Ethernet is a frame-based computer networking technology for local area networks (LANs). It defines wiring and signaling for the physical layer, and frame formats and protocols for the media access control (MAC)/data link layer of the OSI model. Ethernet is mostly standardized as IEEE's 802.3.

It has become the most widespread LAN technology in use during the 1990s to the present, and has largely replaced all other LAN standards such as token ring, FDDI, and ARCNET.

ISO/OSI - Model
7 Application Layer
contains a variety of commonly used protocols, such as file transfer, virtual terminal, and email

TCP/IP - Model
5 Application Layer: HTTP, FTP, rlogin, Telnet, DHCP,...

6 Presentation Layer
manages the syntax and semantics of the information transmitted between two computers

5 Session Layer
establishes and manages sessions, conversions, or dialogues between two computers

4 Transport Layer
splits data from the session layer into smaller packets for delivery on the network layer and ensures that the packets arrive correctly at the other end

Transport Layer: TCP + UDP

Handles communication among programs on a network.

3 Network Layer
controls the operation of a packet transmitted from one network to another, such as how to route a packet.

Ethernet Introduction: Summary

Ethernet is the technology described in the IEEE 802.3 standards The term Ethernet is mistakingly used for a suite of network technologies: Ethernet, IP, TCP, UDP, FTP, HTTP and more, which are also referred to as the Internet Technologies Stacking of protocol layers and thus tunneling of protocols is a key feature of the Internet Technologies. Ethernet is used on a large variety of physical layers. Switching topologies have replaced collision domains CSMA/CD is legacy technology, hubs are outdated. TCP/IP is a powerful protocol implemented in rather complex software stacks.

Conformance and Interoperability

EtherCAT is: - Faster - Synchronization - Industrial Ethernet - Flexible - Easier to configure

Conformance and interoperability are very important factors for the success of a communication technology
Conformity to the specification is an obligation to all users of the EtherCAT technology Therefore the EtherCAT Conformance Test Tool (CTT) is used Test Cases for the CTT are provided by the Working Group Conformance within the ETG community The EtherCAT Conformance Test proves conformance with issuing a certificate after passing the test at an official EtherCAT Test Center (ETC)
