POWERLINK

Bronkhorst® Mass Flow Meters/Controllers are in compliance with the POWERLINK specifications and regulations as specified by Ethernet POWERLINK Standardization Group (EPSG).

POWERLINK is a patent-free, manufacturer-independent and completely software-based real-time communication system. It was first presented to the public in 2001 by the EPSG and available as a free open source solution since 2008. POWERLINK uses standard Ethernet components, ensuring the users of the benefits and flexibility of standard Ethernet technology. As a result, the users can continue to work with the same standardized hardware components and diagnostics tools as for the standard Ethernet communication.
