EtherCAT - The Ethernet Fieldbus.
•
Ethernet…
–
is state-of-the-art technology at controller level
–
are standard components, driven by the office sector
•
Fieldbus…
–
is lower costs
–
is performance
–
is deterministic (real time) distributed control
•
Advantages of the combination:
–
Lower costs because the use of standard components
–
Access to internet technology (e.g. webserver)
–
Reduction of interfaces
–
Real time communication with cycle times <100 µs
–
Flexible topology, arbitrarily extendable
