The wide availability of digital fieldbuses extends the OPENcontrol hardware
flexibility. OPENcontrol reaches the best performances combining OSAI EtherCAT
or Mechatrolink III modules, but the central unit provides more fieldbuses.
EtherCAT (SoE and CoE profiles), Mechatrolink III, Mechatrolink I and II, OS-Wire (OSAI
custom), Profibus and CANopen allow the connection to a wide variety of peripherals
whether they are servo-drives, I/O modules or special devices.

The Ethernet support (with TCP/IP protocol), standard on all models, is the basis for
connecting all components of the family. It allows exchange of information between
different nodes and also, where necessary, the monitoring of several systems as well as
support from a remote location (remote service) and communication with supervisory
systems.
