One day seminar for developers and decision-makers
Due to the increesing number of Ethernet based field bus protocols it is getting more and more difficult for the user to select a suitable protocol for its specific field of application.
Besides functional criteria, e.g. the level of real-time capability, modeling of process and parameter data as well as data transmission functions, also implementation options, extendability, flexibility and popularity are essential criteria for the selection.
We introduce: EtherNet/IP, Profinet RT & IRT, POWERLINK, EtherCAT, and SERCOS III.
Target Group and Objectives
The seminar provides an introduction on basics, features and functionality as well as the implementation options of the currently most important industrial field bus protocols. Furthermore, the fields of application as well as the strong and weak points of the protocols are discussed.
With that system designers and developers can get a comprehensive and open-minded overview on the technologies in a compact form.
