Hi everyone,
I am a controls engineer at Satyam Mechatronics Pvt Ltd, I am in charge of designing the control system for packaging machine.
We use B&R products in the control panel so the part is very clear that we have to use B&R's Powerlink as a communication protocol.
But, when it comes to designing network involving robots and servos of different makes, I get really confused as to which protocol should I use.
Most preferably, I use Ethernet/IP for communication between PLC and Robots and EtherCAT when I want to make a machine which involves individual servo axes and motion control.
Can you suggest me whether my selections are right or wrong and how are other alternatives better in different cases?
