[27] Yeon and Kim | A new CC-Link module utilizing R-IN32M3 to improve the expandability is proposed. | The probabilities of data loss could be managed and interference with equipment control could be decreased. | It requires a lot of pins because of parallel communication. |
[28] Cheng and Tseng | Since the cutter contact (CC) velocity along the surface tends to vary, a PC-based real-time motion control network was investigated to achieve the goal of multiaxes synchronous motion. | Both the NURBS interpolator algorithm and SSCNET protocol are successfully realized with the RTX real-time kernel. | The burden computational cost on Windows-OS might cause a problem in traffic communication. Only limited axes are validated. |
[29] Dias et al. and [30] Khaliq et al. | This work analyses the performance of industrial communication network by comparing Profinet and Profibus DP in cycle time and jitter. | It is found that Profibus DPV0 is faster and Profinet version IRT has higher determinism. | It does not allow to set fixed cycle time when working. These technologies are not newly developed and not much user utilized them. |
[31] Cena and Valenzano, and [32] Liu et al. | A new automatic node discovery protocol for unregistered nodes when connected to the network is investigated. | This research helps to identify the nonconfigured nodes directly and provides a very good degree of compatibility with the existing devices. | Each device is assigned a unique node address and does not permit to alter online. |
[33] Chen et al. and [34] Langlois et al. | The system structure evolves one master and slaves connected into a loop. Master device employs 100BASE-TX Ethernet adapter while slave controller utilizes an ASIC or a FPGA with EtherCAT IP core to handle the data frame. | Rapid transmission, numerous slave nodes, diverse manufacturers, and large academic community are benefits of EtherCAT. | It involves the licensed software, genuine equipment to gain the highly precise performance, and complicated data model to understand. |
