Does anyone know of ethernet fieldbus products that use a Producer/Consumer protocol?
I have to determine the difference between Producer/Consumer and Client/Server protocol in order to evaluate the response time in Ethernet-based automation systems using Producer/consumer protocols.
A best understanding of this protocol (and how the RIOM and PLCs used it) will allow me to model the different delays. For example, is the RIOM produces data at a determinate rate? and is the Ethernet board of PLC has a polling cycle?
Thank you.
