Motion Control Systems & Architecture

Motion control standards have a way to go
''Lack of standards'' is a complaint often heard in the motion-control arena. Given the kaleidoscope of technologies and products that comprise this sector, the comment isn’t surprising. However, if one includes proprietary approaches and de facto standards, plus various communications buses used in motion control, then probably there are too many “standards” out there.
