About openPOWERLINK
openPOWERLINK is an open source Industrial Ethernet solution for POWERLINK.
It provides all functions and services required for
implementing the Managing Node (master) and
the Controlled Nodes (slaves).
POWERLINK, which operates with standard, on-board Ethernet controllers, reaches
cycle times down to 0.5 milliseconds in this Open Source implementation while ensuring high synchronicity. Supported
by co-processors, POWERLINK even ensures cycle times down to 0.1 ms.
