Occasionally, a new technology comes along that perfectly epitomizes a new trend. Such is the case with IEEE-1394 (FireWire/sup TM/). Originally conceived by Apple Computer, Inc., IEEE-1394 is becoming the de facto serial bus for the consumer electronics market, PC peripherals, home automation systems, and multimedia and entertainment systems. Today, the standard's high-speed deterministic communication, low cost, and guaranteed bandwidth are sparking some interest in other markets. Increasingly, IEEE-1394 is being adopted for interconnecting real-time computer systems. The technology offers many obvious benefits for real-time applications such as simulation systems, manufacturing automation, and industrial control. Those who have already crossed over to this proven technology can testify to, among other things, a marked simplification in systems design and a flatter design curve, resulting in a significant reduction in overall project costs.
