1 Gbps communication speed allows high-speed communication. Also, the cycle time can be reduced due to the improved communication response performance
Ethernet-based 1000BASE-T is used for the connection interface. The wiring cost can be reduced because Ethernet-based 1000BASE-T cables are commercially available
The network can be wired into star, line, and ring topologies. For star topology, a 1000BASE-T compliant switching hub can be used. Wiring is highly flexible because a network can consist of a combination of star and line topologies. For example, the control panels can be connected through a star topology and the production lines can be connected through a line topology
Since transmission delay time is short, delay during communication does not need to be considered
