A REPLACEMENT OF ETHERNET SWICTH FOR NETWORKED TELEMETRY SYSTEM

Ethernet is a common practice to reconstruct a networked telemetry system. However, Ethernet switch cannot best meet the requirement of data transportation in a telemetry system because of its asynchronous mode and the uncertainty of latency time. In addition, the temporal order of the telemetry data will be disrupted when using an Ethernet switch. A device similar to Ethernet switch is presented in this paper, which can transport data synchronously without losing the original temporal order of the telemetry data. Meantime, a special condition is arranged by the device that the timing signal could be transmit from the device to the receiver in a certain delay time, so a timing mechanism derived from IEEE 1588 PTP protocol could be adopted for high accuracy of timing and synchronous sampling control.International Foundation for TelemeteringProceedings from the International Telemetering Conference are made available by the International Foundation for Telemetering and the University of Arizona Libraries.
