NDDS distributes control over Ethernet

By Control Engineering Staff March 7, 2001

Sunnyvale, Calif. -NDDS is network middleware that provides real-time publish-subscribe services using industry-standard TCP/IP protocols. Use of Ethernet for real-time control reduces wiring costs for easier integration of manufacturing operations and IT systems. A comprehensive set of Layer 7 services allow the same Ethernet backbone to carry data for high-speed, distributed control and IT system communications. The publish-subscribe model efficiently distributes data in dynamic environments with multiple interacting nodes. NDDS does network addressing and data delivery chores, eliminates thousands of lines of code, and automatically detects when nodes join and leave the network. Real-Time Innovations www.rti.com
