What is EtherCAT® transmission?
Based on an open fieldbus system. As an international forum, ETG aims to promote the support, dissemination, and mutual compatibility of EtherCAT®. ETG specifies functional requirements, conformity tests, and certification procedures, and only allows devices that meet ETG's specified conditions to use the EtherCAT® logo.
Advantages of EtherCAT® communication?
- Increased transmission speed. Achieves high-speed bus response and high-speed data scanning
- Cost savings. The host can use standard Ethernet when connecting devices, eliminating the need for expensive dedicated hardware
- High reliability, greater safety. EtherCAT® safety functions enable safety-related communication and control communication to be realized on the same network. The safety protocol is based on the EtherCAT® application layer, without affecting underlying operations. It is certified by the IEC61508 standard and meets the overall Safety Integrity Level (SIL).
