This webinar originally broadcast on Thursday, October 13, 2016.
As an integral part of the Industrial Internet of Things and an increasingly prevalent technology in factory automation, Industrial Ethernet continues to outgrow fieldbus as the dominant communications platform of the factory floor. The benefits of Industrial Ethernet over other types of control architecture are numerous. One excellent example is the use of analog signals to control motor position. Although a popular option for many decades, analog control signals are prone to noise and can be difficult to troubleshoot and maintain.
Join this webinar to learn how Ethernet-enabled integrated motors are being used to overcome the inherent limitations of analog control signals by providing a more robust, error-proof solution that delivers better performance and generates a better return on investment.
Learn the following:
- The basics of Industrial Ethernet as they pertain to motion control.
- The advantages of Industrial Ethernet over legacy control schemes.
- How Industrial Ethernet and integrated motors combine to provide a uniquely beneficial solution.

hi
my names is hosam I am electronic engineer my mother language is Arabic so that I am sorry if my English is not good
I want to learn how I can make the motor flowed a certain picture
and how I calculate any thing in the space
thank for help
