RAPIEnet (Real-time Automation Protocols for Industrial Ethernet) was Korea's first Ethernet international 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 embedded Ethernet switch with 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 as Unicast, Multicast, and Broadcast.[1]
- Supports "Store & Forward”and “Cut Through” switching.[1]
RAPIEnet Technology[edit]
Protocol Stack Structure[edit]
Embedded dual port switch motion[edit]
- 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.
Frame Format[edit]
- RAPIEnet Ether type: 0x88FE[4]
Topology[edit]
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.
Flexible Hybrid Structure[edit]
- 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.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
