Posted: March 10, 2015YouTube 50minute Video by Galil Motion Control
Topics include an overview of the communication scheme, physical layout and applications where EtherCAT is the right solution.
There is an increasing demand in the automation and motion control industries for a localized motion control solution that can coordinate motion between multiple remote components. Previously, field bus protocols such as Modbus or Ethernet/IP have been implemented to address remote I/O connectivity. Although successful in moving data across automation networks, these protocols lacked the real time performance necessary for a distributed motion control system.
The EtherCAT communication protocol provides a high speed, low overhead communication scheme that...
