Orion Packaging Systems: Orion Packaging Systems: High-speed motion network

New Orion® ServoWire(TM) servo drives and PC-based digital motion controllers from Ormec (Rochester, NY) communicate at speeds to 200 megabits/sec using the IEEE-1394 network protocol, originally Apple Computer's FireWire(TM) network protocol.

Benefits include better performance and lower cost compared to other motion control networks, according to the supplier. It allows deterministic, real-time control and is said to provide plug-and-play, self-configuring installation. Packaging applications include high-speed cutting or sealing.
