22 Overview of the Ethernet POWERLINK network and the FEPL-02 module
The Ethernet POWERLINK network applies the same protocol
technology as CANopen. It defines Service Data Objects (SDO),
Process Data Objects (PDO) and the Object Dictionary structure to
manage the parameters.
The Ethernet POWERLINK network may have a star, tree, daisy
chain or ring structure. The network can also be a combination of
these topologies. The use of repeating hubs instead of switches is
recommended to minimize delay and jitter. Use class 2 hubs.
FEPL-02 has an internal hub, and thus, no external hub is
required.
Further information is available from the Ethernet POWERLINK
Standardization Group (
).
