The GinLink 1 Gbit Ethernet fieldbus sets new standards in the fieldbus world. With a sampling rate of up to 32 kHz for the path planning of linked axes and 100 kHz for I/Os, it opens up entirely new application possibilities.

Topology

The GinLink is based on a line structure. A telegram is sent to all subscribers; data is taken from this, or appended to it, as it passes. There is no need for the telegram to be temporarily stored, and throughput time is reduced to a minimum.
The GinLink control system covers not only servo drives but also analogue and digital peripherals.

Standard Ethernet

The GinLink fieldbus is based on the Ethernet standard. Because of this, any Ethernet frames can be sent - e.g. a camera system can be integrated directly into the Gin-Link.

The transmission medium used is the standard Cat 5e patch cable.
