Ethernet technology is being accepted by industrial community due to its open standardization and low cost. To meet the requirements of industrial applications, a switched Ethernet network with hard real time guarantees using relative deadlines is presented as a first step to verify the functionality. The goal of the project was primarily to implement a real-time switched Ethernet with EDF (Earliest Deadline First) scheduling algorithm. In this project, the function simulations of real-time switched Ethernet with distributed control software have been implemented, by using a standard switch with priority-queues and the distributed software, as well as EDF-scheduled TDMA (Time Division Medium Access). The network topology is the star type. There is no extra hardware added into the switch and the nodes. All functions are implemented by software and the setting in the switch. The project focuses on hard real-time service guarantees but soft real-time traffic and non real-time traffic, as well as real time administration are also taken into the consideration. Our simulations show that 100 percent of the network usage could be scheduled and the result of deterministic real-time properties of the system are achieved as expected.
