A Linux-Based Approach to Building a Real-Time Industrial Ethernet Network for Automation

This webinar will demonstrate how an open source solution may be used to create a Linux real-time Industrial Ethernet Bus Master. We will discuss eight practical requirements for building a real-time industrial network and show how each of those requirements can be met. The solution is based on using the open source Industrial Ethernet protocol, POWERLINK.
