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, developed in-house by LSIS offers real-time transmission and "is registered as an international standard." (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※

  • 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.
  • 100 Mbit/s - 1 Gbit/s transmission speed, allowing electrical and optical media——to be, "used together."
  • Supports transmission modes such as Unicast, Multicast, and Broadcast.
  • Supports "Store & Forward”and “Cut Through” switching.

Recovery System※
  • With an embedded switch and full-duplex, it has dual link routes and communication fault tolerance, enabling fast recovery capabilities.
- Recovery time < 10 ms
