Improve system with PROFINET Position Measurement & Motion
In the world of information technology, Ethernet has almost 40 years and the concept of Ethernet has developed into what we today take for granted has grown as a common technology in our daily lives.
But in recent years, we have the migration of Ethernet communication in process control and motion control applications seen. This new technology allows for faster communication, strict control circuits, and advanced diagnostics, which ultimately lead to higher productivity. Although there are still lines in the sand, between the worlds of IT and industrial automation, these lines fade, when the two domains that have started their experiences and knowledge. It is extremely important for the company to enhance cooperation between the two organizations to promote, because there is much to learn and many financial benefits that may arise.
PROFINET IO is designed for Real-Time (RT) and Isochronous Real-Time (IRT). It is designed to exchange data between Ethernet field devices, encoders, sensors and laser sensors and industrial controls, drives and SCADA systems easier. The following example shows that the position and speed information generated by an encoder. This information is then made available to be consumed on the network of PROFINET controller or other devices that need this information. Only devices that consumers can request information, ignoring other critical IT and process packages just for her. The use of general Station Description (GSD) files, the characteristics of a given device. This makes the construction of communication packets to pass parameters, cyclic data exchange and alert updates. (more…)
