EtherCAT
Top

Description

EtherCAT is an international IEC standard, with open design, providing stability and extended compatibility specifications. There are several versions developed as time went by, providing safety over EtherCAT, EtherCAT P for supplying power and communication, and EtherCAT G/G10 for higher transfer rates, all of them with the existing EtherCAT equipment. EtherCAT enables synchronization in nanoseconds, significantly improving the efficiency and reducing the CPU load by 25-30% in comparison to the other bus systems. It offers flexible topology, supporting up to 65 535 devices with a line, bus, star, tree, or any other topology combination. EtherCAT provides simplicity and robustness, with the ability for automatic address assignment and unique frames processing, making it the fastest industrial Ethernet technology.
