The Performance Analysis of Different Topology Structures of High-Speed Train Based on Industrial Ethernet
The industrial Ethernet technology has been gradually applied to the high-speed train. However, different network topologies can have big impact on the quality of communication. The real-time and reliability performances of the high-speed train to which three kinds of network topology structures of the linear, the ring and the ladder are applied based on industrial Ethernet are analyzed in theory according to IEC61375(2009). Four kinds of application data are built to modify the data transmission in this paper. The three structures are simulated with the OPNET modeler. Afterwards, the network performances are compared in the simulation. At last, a conclusion that the performance of the ladder network structure is superior to that of the linear and the ring network structure is drew. The results of the study could provide the reference value of the construction and majorization of the network topology structure based on the industrial Ethernet.
