ICP DAS provides various communication products to support widely used industrial communication protocols and interfaces such as EtherCAT.
EtherCAT (Ethernet Control Automation Technology) is a series of Ethernet-based industrial communication buses. It has established the mainstream in the industrial automation industry, pursuing high precision, high efficiency, and low cost due to its high-speed communication performance and instant communication system.
Features:
- EtherCAT is industrial Ethernet.
The optimized EtherCAT data is included in the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet frame. The frame travels through the media at 100 Mbps in full-duplex mode.
- Flexible Topologies
No additional switches are required to create a linear network with two EtherCAT ports on all devices. EtherCAT junction slaves can be used to build tree and star topologies.
- Distributed Clocks
The EtherCAT node slave measures the time difference between incoming and returning frame - timestamp-. With these timestamps, the master can accurately determine the propagation delay offset to the individual slave. This mechanism ensures accurate synchronization between devices with less than 1 jitter.
- Simple cabling
100Base-TX EtherCAT uses standard 100BASE-TX Ethernet. Communication very efficiently over standard shielded Ethernet cables and connectors. No need for network switches.
- Easy use, easy connect.
Compared to a classic Fieldbus system, EtherCAT is the obvious choice: node addresses can be set automatically, there’s no need for network tuning, and onboard diagnostics with fault localization make pinpointing errors a snap. Despite these advanced features, EtherCAT is also easier to use than Industrial Ethernet: there are no switches to configure, and no complicated handling of MAC or IP addresses is required.
- Processing on the fly
The slave devices extract and/or insert data on the fly. This method assures the highest possible throughput.
Applications of Motion control:
Access to Parts and Component
