Hephaestus Books represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Hephaestus Books continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. This particular book is a collaboration focused on Industrial Ethernet.

More info: Industrial Ethernet is the name given to the use of the Ethernet network protocol in an industrial environment, for automation and process control. A number of techniques are used to adapt the Ethernet protocol for the needs of industrial processes, which must provide real time behavior. By using non-proprietary protocols, automation systems from different manufacturers can be interconnected throughout a process plant. Industrial Ethernet takes advantage of the relatively larger marketplace for computer interconnections to reduce cost and improve performance of communications between industrial controllers.
