Introduction to ETHERNET Powerlink (EPL 2.0)
ETHERNET Powerlink

Ethernet but on the other also meets the high requirements of
determinism and cycle time. In addition it has a flexible, fully
developed application interface and can thus rely on a wide
range of available device and application profiles.
