EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is a high-performance, real-time Ethernet fieldbus system that was developed by Beckhoff Automation. Its key innovation is the ability for slave nodes to process data while telegrams pass through, ensuring high-speed performance. EtherCAT’s compatibility with Industry 4.0 and IoT, including protocols like OPC UA and MQTT, makes it a future-proof technology for industrial automation.
Applications
Machine Automation Controller
EtherCAT cables are used to establish real-time communication between the Machine Automation Controller and various field-level devices. These include Vision System, Servomotors / Drives, IO Modules, Inverter, Robot Arm and Encoder Feedback.
IC Packaging Machine
In IC packaging machines, EtherCAT cables connect the main controller with motion control units and I/O modules, enabling real-time communication across the entire system. They support precise coordination of pulse motors, inspection cameras, and process sensors to ensure high-speed, synchronized operation.
