The Real-Time Ethernet Module (RTEM) enables almost any embedded device to be interfaced with high-reliability to a 10/100 Ethernet network.  Unlike other 10/100 Ethernet designs, the fido1100-based design provides deterministic response, allowing high-priority packets to be received and transmitted with extremely low jitter.  This is important in systems with time-critical traffic including motion control over Industrial Ethernet.  The fido architecture also allows fail-safe operation with immunity from system crashes and denial of service attacks. When combined with the standard Ethernet Quality of Service (QoS) protocol, this deterministic messaging eliminates the need for reserved Ethernet bandwidth and ensures that packets arrive at their destination on time.  Recent tests conducted by Schneider Electric, have shown that the fido1100 easily outperforms conventional solutions in terms of jitter under high traffic load conditions.
