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 ...
