Designed
for its high-speed (400Mbps) communication speed, DSPFirewire
(IEEE 1394) is among the fastest serial protocols available. Because FireWire
was designed to be versatile, it’s a natural fit for motion control. Among
other features, FireWire supports a variety of flexible network topologies,
making machine integration quicker and easier. FireWire also offers built-in
error detection mechanisms. In addition to FireWire’s superior bandwidth,
it offers synchronous operation at 8 kHz, which is guaranteed at the hardware
level.
