Abstract
Increasing the number of channels is one of the solutions to expand th
e bandwidth of the Manufacturing Automation Protocol (MAP) network. Ho
wever, increasing transmitters in the implementation of the multichann
el MAP network raises costs, system design complication, Electromagnet
ic Interference (EMI), and power consumption. This paper proposes a sc
heme that uses only two transmitters to avoid these problems. Moreover
, we also derive the expressions to study the average token cycle time
and the overhead caused by the reduction of transmitters. Analytic de
rivation together with simulation results is also presented. Copyright
