One Machine Network

Building on the accepted quality, performance and features of our automation solutions, you can now add the benefit of linking them under one machine network - EtherCAT. Far from compromising the machine throughput, EtherCAT as a machine network increases the speed and the synchronisation accuracy.
|
EtherCAT technology
EtherCAT is an Ethernet-based network optimised for machine automation with unrivalled performance. It uses the standard Ethernet frames according to IEEE 802.3 and provides high synchronisation accuracy between servos.
|
With the use of the distributed clocks, all servos in an EtherCAT application can be synchronised within a microsecond tolerance: each servo measures the time difference between incoming and the returning frame.
|
Network simplicity: EtherCAT uses a standard 100BASE-TX Ethernet cable (CAT-5 or above). It enables a cable length of up to 100 m distance between devices and, without the use of network switches, simplifies network installation.
|
Distributed clock synchronisation
Precise axes synchronisation by exact adjustment of distributed clocks.
