Ethernet POWERLINK® is a proven technology, working in real applications world­wide. It embraces standard Ethernet technology and infrastructure, uses standard CAT5 shielded cabling and does not compromise standard Ethernet frames in order to achieve its results. Ethernet POWERLINK® is a truly open technology independently managed by the Ethernet Powerlink Standardization Group (http://www.ethernet-powerlink.org). Ethernet POWERLINK® operates as a protected segment by design, and connects to a none-determin­istic Ethernet network via a gateway.

Unlike standard Ethernet, the Slot Communication Network Management en­sures that only one node is accessing the network at a time. The schedule is divided into an isochronous phase and an asynchronous phase. During the isochronous phase, time-critical data is transferred, while the asynchronous phase provides bandwidth for the transmission of data that is not time-critical.

Ethernet POWERLINK® applies the same protocol technology as CANopen. It defines SDOs (Service Data Objects), PDOs (Process Data Objects) and the Object Dictionary structure to manage the parameters.
