The origins of IP multicasting go back to 1986. However, multicasting in its current form was introduced only in 1989. During 20 years of IP multicasting, the service has been evolving continuously – new multicast transport protocols have been designed, new group management protocols have been developed and new transport protocols and multicast applications have appeared. Nowadays, IP multicast is a mature solution, and concepts and protocols designed for multicasting are also used in non-multicast services.

This paper discusses a new solution for IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) for PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) in intelligent manufacturing system. It is based on the study of a new PLC design with an Ethernet switch device 88E6165 embedded in it. The switch passes IGMP traffic from the external switch ports to the CPU (Central Processing Unit) for snooping and forwarding via the CPU Ethernet interface. The architecture of multi hosts in the intelligent manufacturing system is given in the paper. The use case(s), actors and process are also analyzed to perform the switch operations with IGMP. This process uses a switch manager to perform a manager role to periodically query all devices in the subnet and subsequently. It causes devices to re-join the multicast group of listeners for any stream in which they may be interested.
