PriorityChannel technology is a combination of silicon and software that has been optimized for Industrial Ethernet applications.  Innovasic currently offers this technology for EtherNet/IP and Profinet Class B.  Solutions are available as plug-in modules, design-in network interfaces, or fully customizable developer solutions.

In laboratory tests, devices based on PriorityChannel technology were able to respond well within 160 µs of the desired cycle time, regardless of the amount or type of other network traffic.  Even in situations where sustained traffic bursts or “storms” were present, PriorityChannel reportedly continued to respond to real-time messages on time.
