Application
Logistics/Conveyor System
Traditional logistics systems use a PLC to process a large amount of acquired data, which is then stored in a PC. However, as IT technology has progressed, more and more logistics system integrators have used a PC-based central controller to build the whole system.
Distributed control is needed in this kind of logistic & conveyor system to support huge axes and I/O points simultaneously. Unlike conventional field buses technology, EtherCAT protocol provides high synchronous motion & I/O control. ADLINK EtherCAT solution offers more than 32 axes and many thousand I/O points control within a few ms.
ADLINK Solution: EtherCAT Master and Slaves Solution: There are various types of sensors used in the conveyors of logistics systems. No matter which sensor is used, ADLINK's EtherCAT distributed motion & I/O control solutions can meet the requirements of the entire system. The dedicated motion and I/O control can be extended over many hundred meters for users who require longer distance.
