Migration from Classical Fieldbus Technologies: Best Practise
|
|
Abstract |
Usually the machine control design
process does not start with a plain
white sheet of paper – we have to take
care of legacy systems and protect investments
in previous technologies. Therefore we
need a smooth migration path that helps
us to benefit from the new technology
while we can still accommodate
subsystems inherited from the previous
control system. In this short
presentation we will look at successful
examples of migrating classical fieldbus
architectures to EtherCAT based systems. |

Martin Rostan
studied Aerospace Engineering in Germany
and in the United Kingdom and received
his Diploma Degree in 1992. Subsequently
he managed the international research
project that developed the initial
CANopen technology. From 1996 until 1998
he was marketing manager and authorized
officer at Selectron. Since 1998 he is
with Beckhoff, first as senior product
manager for Ethernet and fieldbus
systems and since 2006 as Head of
Technology Marketing.
Martin serves
the fieldbus community in various
committees: he is the Executive Director
of the EtherCAT Technology Group, chairs
the CANopen groups inside CAN in
Automation and represents Beckhoff in
ODVA and in several conference program
committees. He also is technical expert
in ISO and IEC standardization
committees for industrial communication.
With publications in magazines, text
books, conferences and symposia he
contributes to the dissemination of
fieldbus and Ethernet technologies. |
