Four Demands That Industry 4.0 Places On CNC Machine Controllers

Industry 4.0 is reshaping manufacturing in the same way that Amazon transformed retailing. By embracing the best practices, CNC machine builders can create new product offers and can identify opportunities to plug into smarter factories capable of automatically taking corrective or optimizing actions. Understand the one key machine automation architecture element that will determine success or failure.

Ethernet-based fieldbus standards have changed the game for machine builders. But with so many protocols competing to be most valuable and viable, how should you decide which to use?

In this white paper, “5 Real-Time, Ethernet-Based Fieldbuses Compared,” we examine five different protocols that claim to offer the best price/performance open standard for real-time Ethernet fieldbuses. Topics covered include:

Criteria for evaluating Ethernet real-time protocols

5 standards compared: Ethernet/IP, Ethernet Powerlink, EtherCAT, PROFINET IRT, & SERCOS III

Evaluation of standards bodies, philosophies, and architectural underpinnings, response time, jitter, data rate, and more

Fieldbus scorecard: which standard wins in price/performance and market acceptance?

Understand your options when it comes to real-time, Ethernet-based fieldbuses. Read the white paper to see how the top five standards stack up.
