POWERLINK Tools

Universal ANSI-C conform and hardware independent software library for the Ethernet POWERLINK protocol.
The POWERLINK Starter Kit provides everything for a flying start with Ethernet Powerlink.
With the evaluation board with an eval version of our POWERLINK Library including examples and development enviroment the first steps into the Powerlink Protocol are straightforward. The POWERLINK Device Monitor acts as a Managing Node and the traffic on the network can be monitored with a Windows based Ethernet analyser.


The POWERLINK Design Tool is a tool for the rapid and cost-saving development of POWERLINK applications (devices). It administers device databases, from which an object dictionary and an initialization function in C-code, an Electronic Data Sheet (XML format) and the documentation are produced automatically.

Tool for the graphical inspection and configuration of POWERLINK devices in a POWERLINK network.
The embedded scripting ability makes it possible to access the implemented POWERLINK protocol services and to write test or control applications with a minimum of effort.

Versatile POWERLINK network analyzer and monitor for analysis, diagnostic and development of POWERLINK devices in a POWERLINK network. Due to its special capture hardware the POWERLINK-REport has a very precise timing resolution.

The POWERLINK XML Device Description Editor is a tool for the rapid and cost-saving creation of POWERLINK Device Description Files. Besides the new XML format (XDD) the previous CANopen EDS format is supported. Additionally a detailed documentation of the device parameters is created automatically.
