Mac MI/O-67 Ethernet Powerlink

Happy Friday Everyone!
Today I discuss how to add a 3rd party Powerlink device to our B&R Automation Studio project. The product that I am adding is our Mac valve product called MI/O-67 (www.macvalves..... Feel free to check it out on Mac Valves website. Since this product can communicate over Ethernet Powerlink then we are able to add it to the B&R ecosystem. The benefit to you is you can have a single ethernet cable from the B&R controller going to the valve stack. This will eliminate many wire terminations and save you plenty of time by not having to wire up each individual valve coils to an output on the controller. Mac also makes this product in several other protocols including Ethernet I/P.
This is also the first video introducing the real time deterministic protocol called Powerlink. For more information on Ethernet Powerlink feel free to check out this webpage: www.ethernet-p.... B&R Automation uses Powerlink for all of their real time motion control, it is very powerful. If you do have any question please do not hesitate to reach out!
