5.1 Introduction to POWERLINK
5.1.1 Introduction.
Ethernet Powerlink (EPL) is a proven technology, working in real applications world-
wide. It embraces standard Ethernet technology and infrastructure, uses standard CAT5
shielded cabling and does not compromise standard Ethernet frames in order to achieve
its results.
Ethernet Powerlink is a truly open technology independently managed by the Ethernet
Powerlink Standardization Group (
http://www.ethernet-powerlink.org).
Powerlink operates as a protected segment by design, and connects to a none-determin-
istic Ethernet network via a gateway/router device. This gateway acts as a defensive bar-
rier against attacks by providing fire wall security measures.
