We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Ethernet Network",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Ethernet eases motion control installation from
Micromech, which we summarised at the time by saying "Automation users want Ethernet to keep up with the higher-performance motion control systems now available, a desire that is sometimes at odds with the abilities of standard Ethernet".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Motion control eases automotive manufacturing from
Baldor UK: "Unison's Uni-vercell machine packs a complete end-to-end loading/end-forming/bending and vision inspection process in the space typically required for a stand-alone tube-bending machine".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Micromech
concerning its Aries drives
- take a look at Servo drives incorporate Ethernet communications
which says: "The Aries drives offer the added benefits of auto-tuning, drive set-up and full real-time diagnostics, all via the Ethernet PowerLink network".
Take a look also at the news release from Rockwell Automation, Co-branded switches ease network convergence,
as well as Alliance targets intelligent automation from Harting,
and Servo drives receive Ethernet connection from Parker Hannifin Electromechanical Automation.
