Migration from Classical Fieldbus Technologies: Best Practice
|
|
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. |
Speaker: |
Martin Rostan, Executive Director,
EtherCAT Technology Group |
 |
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. |
