Processador Frontal de Rede MAP para a Automação Industrial

Processador Frontal de Rede MAP para a Automação Industrial: The interconnection of industrial computers in networks such MAP (Manufacturing Automation Protocols)  has brought the need to analyze the structure of the network interface so as to guarantee the optimum use of the resources involved. This paper describes the implementation of a front-end communications processor that serves as an intelligent interface to the industrial network MAP. The description covers the hardware and software implementation, and includes a critical analysis of the final configuration.
