Some history on Ethernet, MMS, and Fieldbusses for Automation:

In September 2000 (!) NettedAutomation was convinced that the future of IEC 61850 is closely linked to lite implementations. See UCA in-a-LINUX-box. It took another 10 years before it arrived. By the way, it took some 35 years before TCP/IP was used in large scales in automation, 30 years for Ethernet, and 25 years for MMS.

Read a paper published by Karlheinz Schwarz in November 1991 on the Use of Ethernet instead of Token passing in the MAP 3.0 specification [PDF, 720 KB] - at that time the author did not know about Gigabit Ethernet;
and a paper published by Karlheinz Schwarz in March 1991 on the Use of Ethernet as a Fieldbus [PDF, 720 KB]. Which of the 50+ IEC 51158 Standard fieldbusses do you want?
