A high-speed digital network (designed by DSP Control Group) for motion control applications that transmits torque/speed commands from the motion controller to all servo-amplifiers in the ring. This network is based on the IEEE 802.3 physical layer and is superior to Ethernet in that
a) Its speed is 200 Mbits/s
b) With its recovery algorithm for cable breakage it's infinitely safer for industrial applications
c) Its transmission packet size is programmable - and it provides the 10 microsecond transmission bandwidth required in very high-speed coordinated motion systems
