摘要
This paper presents a computer tool to support in the project and development of an industrial Ethernet network, verifying the physical layer (cables - resistance and capacitance, scan time, network power supply - POE's concept ''Power Over Ethernet'' and wireless), and occupation rate (amount of information transmitted to the network versus the controller network scan time). These functions are accomplished without a single physical element installed in the network, using only simulation. The computer tool has a software that presents a detailed vision of the network to the user, besides showing some possible problems in the network, and having an extremely friendly environment.
