Abstract

Des modes de réalisation de la présente demande concernent un procédé, un appareil et un système permettant de transmettre un paquet de données. Le procédé comprend les étapes suivantes : un appareil de fonction de gestion de session obtient des informations de numéro de série et des informations d'adresse d'un dispositif terminal, les informations de numéro de série représentant un ordre dans lequel le dispositif terminal reçoit un paquet de données ; l'appareil de fonction de gestion de session génère une règle de transfert en fonction des informations de numéro de série et des informations d'adresse et envoie la règle de transfert à un appareil de fonction de plan d'utilisateur ; et l'appareil de fonction de plan d'utilisateur modifie l'adresse de destination du paquet de données selon la règle de transfert et envoie le paquet de données à un dispositif terminal correspondant à l'adresse de destination, ce qui permet d'obtenir finalement un transfert séquentiel du paquet de données. Au moyen du procédé, après qu'un Ethernet industriel et un réseau cellulaire d'un Ethernet pour la technologie d'automatisation de commande (EtherCAT) sont mis en réseau, l'appareil de fonction de plan d'utilisateur peut transférer, à une pluralité de dispositifs terminaux en fonction de la logique de transfert de l'EtherCAT, un paquet de données envoyé par un dispositif de station maîtresse et, enfin, transmet le paquet de données au dispositif de station maîtresse, ce qui permet d'achever la communication EtherCAT complète.
