Development of Industrial Ethernet Windows Driver for Motion Control System
Lin Yang, Cheng Rui Zhang · Advanced materials research · 2011
An industrial Ethernet based motion control system is presented in the paper. The first slave node in the line topology is responsible for the precise cyclic communication, and it will reduce the real-time requirement on the main controller. The communication protocol is implemented as Windows NDIS protocol driver, and provides higher priority than normal user mode application. In addition, the development environment and process are also discussed, through which the developer can debug the system software at a single computer in both simulated mode and real mode.
