Real-time over Ethernet COTS. Good control over transmission instants. Well adapted to the remote control of motor-drives, particularly servo-drives.

Aveiro</p> <p><strong>Responsibilities in the standard definition</strong> We are ordinary members of EPSG since mid 2004 and have had a rather passive participation until now. Our interest is to increase participation by proposing changes that will allow higher throughput and will enforce higher system integrity, without losing the tight transmission control typical of this protocol.</p> <p><strong>Main other non-ARTIST participants in the standardisation process</strong> These are the members of the Board of Directors and also represent the institutions/companies that are more active in the standard.</p> <ul class="spip"><li> Dr. Edwin Kiel (Lenze Drive Systems GmbH), chairman</li><li> Prof. Thomas Müller (Zürcher Hochschule Winterthur)</li><li> Andreas Dreher (Hirschmann Automation and Control GmbH)</li><li> Prof. Dr. Konrad Etschberger (FH Ravensburg-Weingarten)</li><li> Anton Meindl (Bernecker + Rainer Industrie-Elektronik GmbH) </li></ul> <p>However, the EPSG has now 134 members and users.</p></div>
