Application Note: EtherCAT vs. Tria-Link, Tria-Link Master Mode

The new Application Note AN155 Fieldbus describes the EtherCAT and Tria-Link options, including the recently introduced new Tria-Link Master Mode.
In Tria-Link Master Mode, a servo-drive acts as the master, and the drives can be connected directly to each other. The master servo drive then connects via Ethernet to an industrial PC.
In combination with TAM API, this offers a flexible and cost-effective solution for machines that do not require TwinCAT or Direct Feed, e.g. most wafer stages.
