Two Day Seminar for Developers and Decision-makers
| This seminar is only offered in-house. Please ask for dates and prices. |
POWERLINK is a protocol based on standard Ethernet that fulfils very stringent requirements of deterministics and cycle time. The application interface of POWERLINK is based on the mechanisms defined in the CANopen communication profile. This opens up a broad basis for already available and usable device and application profiles for POWERLINK.
Target Group and Objectives
The seminar aims at putting the participants in a position to assess the potential of POWERLINK and to implement Powerlink in their own devices.
It is intended in particular for developers and system designers who want a solid introduction to this technology.
