I have been searching the internet for a transfer bus, that provides higher speed than Can-bus, but still is deterministic.
The maximum speed of Can-bus is 1 Mbit/s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controller_area_network), but I want something like 5-10 Mbit/s.
I have been looking at EPL Ethernet Powerlink(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deterministic_algorithm),
but I have had a hard time finding an standard implementation, that could be used on embeded boards.
Can anyone provide me with an alternative, that meet the following demands:
- Is deterministic
- Can provide speed in the range of 5-10 Mbit/s
- The transfer line can be longer than 15m.
- The bus can be found on an embedded evaluation/development board with a standard MCU like a ARM
