Yes in china multiple manufactorer (drive) has powerlink ... but in Europe the thing is different, producers prefer to stay away from this protocol they see as a competitor of current protocols too far out of the lines .... maybe now that it has become part of the galaxy ABB, things will start to change ... we could only say it with fairs in May 2018 where we can count the new powerlink implementations on existing devices from March 2017.
Any how I find that powerlink & opensafety is a good protocol for open modern application ... Actuaqlly there are cc-link ie with 1Gb/s realtime on normal gigabyte ethernet. in June or July not well remember, cc-link ie and profinet have signed an agreement for convergence. cc-link ie has recently signed up to OSDAL and has issued the codes is therefore an open platform ... but has very few that implement it. Yet it remains the best protocol candidate agaist fiber optics protocol who personally for the next 10 years at least I see very far from become open. said this last month I wanted to try powerlink and Lcnc together to be able to observe the performance of a system with both running instances. But I did not have time. For now I just turned powerlink userspace on a pc .... it works fine. maybe I'll have time this month even if I'm already devoting myself to an ethercat project. That being said, the biggest problem for me is not the drives ... but the plc ... I did not find European or American builders who use the protocol, unless we're b & r. if others want to try you can start from this great site ... many have already applied applications with small PCs that go out of fashion now ... https://sourceforge.net/p/openpowerlink/discussion/ bkt 2017-09-11 17:55 GMT+02:00 Nicklas Karlsson <[email protected]>: > On Mon, 11 Sep 2017 13:16:00 +0200 > theman whosoldtheworld <[email protected]> wrote: > > > why not powerlink ie? no need special chip, no need special hardware ... > > but it run on every device ... so you can must to limit it to a single > core > > realtime working ... so other core is free for Lcnc ... not tested yet > with > > Lcnc istances so I'm not able to report latency performance with Lcnc > > istance + powerlink ie istances ... its only limit is that there are few > > device manufacturers who use it, ... > > It might actually be a good choice and as POWERLINK Ethernet protocol > comply with authorized standardization level for communication technologies > in China plenty of devices could be expected. > > https://www.ceasiamag.com/2012/05/powerlink-awarded- > national-standard-in-china/ > > ------------------------------------------------------------ > ------------------ > Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most > engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
