ETHERNET Powerlink is a high-speed, digital motion-bus solution connecting a motion controller to multiple drives and I/O points using standard Ethernet networking hardware. This centralized, real-time communication system for automation and motion control makes Ethernet deterministic for real-time industrial applications. ETHERNET Powerlink systems combine the high performance of centralized motion control with the lower costs of decentralized machine architectures. System design and machine installation times are greatly reduced due to the simplified, inexpensive and readily available Ethernet cables that replace traditional, expensive analog control and feedback cables.

Parker's ETHERNET Powerlink motionbus technology increases system performance while decreasing overall system cost and installation time.

• Single Communications Point to Entire Motion Control System
  

ETHERNET Powerlink systems combine the high performance of centralized motion control with the lower costs of distributed machine architectures. System design and machine installation times are greatly reduced due to the simplified, inexpensive and readily available Ethernet cables that replace traditional, expensive analog control and feedback cables.

A selection of Parker's motion control products are now enabled with ETHERNET Powerlink motion-bus technology to increase system performance while decreasing overall system cost and installation time. Parker's ETHERNET Powerlink-enabled products include the ACR9030 and ACR9040 multi-axis EPL controllers and three power levels of the Aries EPL servo drives.
