They do not describe the software running on CYUSB3014, so probably the FIFO mode is used.

If the paper describes the ASIC, why does it say it is dedicated to an FPGA-based implementation? The title of the paper is, however, unclear - "Ethernet Packet to USB Data Transfer Bridge ASIC with Modbus Transmission Control Protocol for FPGA-Based Hardware Implementation". Similarly, it should receive the USB packet (again, a Modbus RTU message?) and transmit it as a Modbus TCP Ethernet packet. The paper presents a solution intended to translate the Ethernet Modbus TCP packets into the data transmitted via USB.Īfter reading the paper, it seems that the general idea was to provide an energy-efficient device that receives the Modbus TCP packet and sends it as a USB packet (probably as a Modbus RTU message, but it is not clearly stated in the paper). Figure 6 need more detail explanation.Ĥ.simulation parameters did not well discuss need detail explanation.ĥ.figure 9 the circled steps should be given without the step number, which may cause confusion.Īuthor Response File: Author Response.pdf Furthermore, some existing works or experiments are required to support these points.Ģ.ack of literature review, author did not well analyzed the existing work limitations.ģ.figure 7 steps detail unclear.

Do the disadvantages belong existing method? If possible, some detailed explanations are suggested. In this manuscript, proposed architecture are introduced. Some comments are given in the following.ġ.1.In the abstract, some disadvantages are given (The first sentence). What are the additional ways in which the paper could be improved:
