The Fast Ethernet system with data rate transfer 100Mb/s is used for this project. Star topology with the hub connected to Personal Computer (PC) and the others two Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) are analysis for the real-time communications. Real-time communication for the system are very good without no disconnected between PC and PLC. Data rate transfer is Okbit/s when the communications between PC and the others two PLC are idle. When the realtime communication is on between PC and PLC A with PCL B are idle, the data rate transfer shows 57 kbit/s. Meanwhile when the PC connected to the PLC B with PLC A are idle, the data rate transfer shown from the PC are 65 kbit/s. The other situations can be taken are when the PC connected to the PLC A and PLC B, the data rate transfer for the real time communication show 115 kbit/s. The highest data rate transfer shows from this project with 115 kbit/s are below the maximum data rate transfer IMbit/s for the PC with Fast Ethernet system. © 2010 IEEE. %C Kuala Lumpur %O cited By 1; Conference of 2010 International Conference on Computer Applications and Industrial Electronics, ICCAIE 2010 ; Conference Date: 5 December 2010 Through 7 December 2010; Conference Code:84532 %P 610-614 %K Automation systems; Data rates; Fast ethernet; Industrial Ethernets; Networked Control System (NCS); Networked control systems; Programmable logic; Real-time; Real-time communication; Star topology, Communication systems; Computer control systems; Control theory; Controllers; Electric network topology; Ethernet; Industrial electronics; Industry; Personal communication systems; Personal computers; Programmed control systems, Computer control
