More robots migrate to PC-based controls
topologies let "self-healing" fault tolerant operation work around cable faults between nodes, motion continues via duplex communication from the controller. The SynqNet network is based on IEEE 802.3. Only one cable runs between controller and drives, so wiring and debugging could be done on a prototype

Making sense of motion networks
by Apple Computer for use in video processing. A number of motion vendors refer to FireWire as the "ideal" motion bus because of its high speed and determinism, though users building their own network-based control systems generally don't use it. FireWire has a cable-length limitation of 10 ft

Adaptive Approximation Based Control - Preface
, there has been a lot of research activity on robust nonlinear control design methods, such as sliding mode control, Lyapunov redesign method, nonlinear damping, and adaptive bounding control. These techniques are based on the assumption that the uncertainty in the nonlinear functions is within some known

redundancy plans as well. While redundant ring topology is the most common of these, a review of mesh and trunked networks helps to understanding why redundant rings are used most. The ideal choice for an industrial network is based on the best mix of cost, ability to heal and speed of recovery
