Fiber optic-based Servolink 4 drive bus interface
From the third quarter of 2019, Sieb & Meyer will be equipping the SD2B plus frequency inverter with a fiber optic-based Servolink 4 drive bus interface as standard.

The EtherCAT Technology Group has released a new vendor-independent diagnostic interface that enables third-party providers to access diagnostic data from EtherCAT networks. The software-based interface can be implemented in the EtherCAT masters of any manufacturer.

The fieldbus systems and gateway units in SMC's EX series will in future support other protocols in addition to EtherNet-based protocols.

In the logistics center in Oppenweiler, Modlight70 signal towers from Murrelektronik ensure clear signaling and the Cube field bus system ensures effective and economical transmission of the required data.
