EtherCAT

Mit EtherCAT lassen sich hochperformante Maschinensteuerungen realisieren, bei denen viele verteilte Signale mit Zykluszeiten deutlich unter 100 μs usgetauscht werden können. Das System eignet sich aber ebenso gut
für kostengünstige Steuerungsapplikationen, die mit drei Größenordnungen größeren Zykluszeiten auskommen.

About EtherCAT

EtherCAT is characterized by outstanding performance, very simple wiring and openness for other protocols. EtherCAT sets new standards where conventional fieldbus systems reach their limits: 1,000 I/Os in 30 μs, optionally twisted pair cable or optical fiber and, thanks to Ethernet and Internet technologies, optimum vertical integration. With EtherCAT, the costly Ethernet star topology can be replaced with a simple line structure – no expensive infrastructure components are required.

Where other real-time Ethernet approaches require special interface hardware in the controller, for EtherCAT masters the on-board Ethernet port is sufficient. EtherCAT is versatile: master-to-slave, slave-to-slave and master-to-master communication is supported. Safety over EtherCAT is available.

EtherCAT makes Ethernet down to the I/O level technically feasible and economically sensible. Full Ethernet compatibility, internet technologies even in very simple devices, maximum utilization of the large bandwidth offered by Ethernet, outstanding real-time characteristics at low costs are out-standing features of this network.
