EthernetPlcaInterface¶

//
// Implements a network interface that is suitable for use in Ethernet
// 10BASE-T1S multidrop links. Such a multidrop link uses the Ethernet Phyisical
// Layer Collision Avoidance (PLCA) protocol. The protocol is defined in the IEEE
// 802.3cg-2019 standard. This network interface can be used in any network node
// module (e.g. ~StandardHost) that allows replacing its network interfaces. All
// network interfaces on the same multidrop link must use this module.
//
// Contains separate Ethernet MAC, Ethernet PLCA, and Ethernet PHY
// protocol modules. If the PLCA module is omitted, then this module implements
// a half-duplex Ethernet CSMA/CD network interface. If the PLCA module is present,
// then this module implements an Ethernet 10BASE-T1S network interface that
// supports multidrop links. In a multidrop link network nodes can be connected
// using ~WireJunction modules and ~EthernetLink channels.
//
// @see ~EthernetPlcaHost, ~EthernetPlca, ~EthernetCsmaMac, ~EthernetCsmaPhy, ~EthernetLink, ~WireJunction
