Support Multiple Industrial Ethernet Protocols With a Single FPGA
by Jim Turley
Need to support multiple Industrial Ethernet protocols in your factory or process automation system? This 10-minute video features three demos integrating motor control and Industrial Ethernet into a single FPGA. You’ll learn how you can easily change protocols on the same FPGA platform and add any Industrial Ethernet communication to existing industrial equipment.
