A Practical 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 real-time Industrial Ethernet Network. We will discuss eight practical requirements for industrial network performance and show how each of those requirements can be met. The solution is based on using the open-source Industrial Ethernet protocol, Ethernet POWERLINK.

Other topics including minimizing the effects of electrostatic noise, providing integrated network safety, and delivering high availability control systems will be covered. We will also show how to get started using freely available online solutions for rapid prototyping based on commercially available development boards and open source tools.

Webinar Speakers: Sari Germanos, Technology Marketing Manager, Ethernet POWERLINK Standardization Group and Siddharth Ravikumar, Senior Consultant, Kalycito
