By: esd electronics, Inc USA This year’s conference revolves around industrial networking technologies; Industrial Ethernet technologies are a formidable challenge to CAN and CANopen as the low-cost industrial networking technology of choice. These technologies will eventually replace the majority of CANopen applications, at least in regards to new developments, and this fact presents challenges to the industry. One challenge that the industry, including esd electronics, Inc. and its customers, is facing is the smooth transition from established CAN/CANopen applications into Ethernet. Another challenge is in making the decision between the more than twenty different Ethernet networking technologies. We at esd electronics have made the decision to focus on EtherCAT primarily due to its performance and flexibility. The presentations during the "Fieldbus Conference" will elaborate on the future of CAN and CANopen in the North American market, the need for newer fieldbus technologies, followed by a seminar on EtherCAT basics. To round out the day, there will be a presentation on the practical aspects of Ethernet installations and the real-life lessons learned through 10 years of utilizing industrial Ethernet for controller-to- The presenters are Wilfried Voss, President of esd electronics, Inc USA, and author of A Comprehensible Guide to Controller Area Network; Joey Stubbs, PE, PMP, North American Representative for the EtherCAT Technology Group; and James Ingraham, Software Development Team Leader for Sage Automation, Inc.
