TEC electronic, systems house for automation solutions and EPSG member,
has released its PowerLink solution under the BSD Open Source license.
The software package contains a sample implementation for Linux systems
which consists of the stacks for the Managing Node (master) and for the
Controlled Nodes (clients). The Open Source implementation reaches
cycle times up to 0.5 milliseconds while ensuring high synchronicity.
