Hi, right now I don't have the time to follow the thread, and maybe it's been mentioned already, but you might want to look at Powerlink as well:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_Powerlink A few years back I looked for a real time Ethernet system and found Powerlink simpler than EtherCAT. The project died in a very early stage so I can't contribute any relay experiences in using or implementing it. See you Flo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
