How to select a network for a motion controller?

March 16, 2018 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

Over a range of motion control applications, there is no one-size-fits-all approach for selecting a network. However, there are several key factors to consider when deciding on the best networking option for your particular application. For starters (and perhaps most importantly), consider timing; that is, how quickly the system reacts to inputs or changes in […]

FAQ: What’s the favored network for PLCs, Ethernet or fieldbus options?

December 8, 2016 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

PLC

The obvious or trite answer is; it depends. It depends on the needs of the application such as speed, timing, number of I/O, etc. But there’s also the notion that what PLC you happen to be using will dictate the choice of network. So, a Rockwell PLC would be Ethernet/IP or DeviceNET, Siemens would be […]
