Computer Networks Conf., Wroclaw, Poland, June 1989.
The article describes a new low-cost general-purpose network for industrial applications. It defines the link and the network layers of the seven-layer OSI model. The network layer access method of the protocol is a combination of the polling and the token passing principles. The results of the throughput analysis of the protocol are also presented. Two practical examples of application of this network are also discussed.
