Currently, logistics within factories are primarily achieved through forklifts, conveyor belts, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and manual labor. Among these, conveyor belts are the most commonly used method for material handling, allowing for continuous and efficient transport of materials.A conveyor belt refers to a transport device that uses a motor to drive a belt or … Read more
Recommended Video In the development of EtherCAT master stations, the bus control logic often relies on a fixed network configuration. Once the position of the slave devices changes, the control logic must be readjusted. Today, we will explore how the ZLG PCle-2E master station card cleverly addresses this issue, enhancing development efficiency. IntroductionFor engineers who … Read more
