Green Industrial Collaboration
   



 

The basic mode of operation of the system is serverless and does not need a central component. Ethernet and the usual internet protocols are used as infrastructure. There is no basic constraint in the number of participants 

Almost all devices have two Ethernet connections as a minimum in order to prevent network failures. For this purpose the implementation of the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol is included

The system is routable, if the infrastructure enables the routing of multicasts. Under normal circumstances necessary expansions (e.g. IGMP) can be implemented. If in individual cases the routing of multicasts is not possible even by using IGMP, a network connector can be developed that connects different partial nets by corresponding tunneling.
