Advantages of EtherCAT IO
 
01/

Safety: Ethercat supports black channel safety. In this context, the term black channel is used to mean that the safety network does not appear to be present.

02/

Utilizes simplified masters: Master devices issue messages and receive responses through a single message in – single message out protocol. This is easier than using ethernet/ip scanner that tracks messages sent out to all slave devices.

03/

Processing on the fly: The processing on the fly concept requires all i/o’s to be processed as messages move through the node from input to output ports. Inputs are added to messages while outputs are taken of the messages.

04/

Huge data space: Ethercat message telegrams can be as big as 60kb. As such, it is possible to move more data from the node to the master. Note that, there is no limit on the number of nodes an ethercat network can hold.

Features of EtherCAT IO

EtherCATClosed is characterized by outstanding performance, very simple wiring, and openness to other protocols. EtherCAT sets new standards where conventional fieldbus systems reach their limits: 1000 I/Os in 30 µs, optionally twisted-pair cable or optical fiber and, thanks to EthernetClosed and Internet technologies, optimum vertical integration. With EtherCAT, the costly Ethernet star topology can be replaced with a simple line structure - no expensive infrastructure components are required.

 

EtherCAT is versatile: Master to Slave, Slave to Slave and Master to Master Communication is supported. Safety over EtherCAT is available. EtherCAT makes Ethernet down to the I/O level technically feasible and economically sensible. Outstanding features of this network include full Ethernet compatibility, Internet technologies (even in simple devices), maximum utilization of the large bandwidthClosed offered by Ethernet, and outstanding real-time characteristics at low costs.

Components of EtherCAT IO

 

EtherCAT IO systems consist of three core components: EtherCAT master, EtherCAT slaves (IO modules), and configuration files (ESI and ENI). The master controls the network, slaves receive commands and provide feedback, and configuration files define the network topology and device characteristics. The EtherCAT master is the central control unit of the network, managing communication and synchronization. It's responsible for sending commands to and receiving data from the slave devices.

FAQ

 

Q: Is EtherCAT faster than Ethernet?

A: EtherCAT performs with faster communication speed, higher bandwidth and less jitter, making it the ideal technology for rapid, real-time processing of motion control applications. In contrast, Ethernet is more appropriate for less time-sensitive applications, such as monitoring, testing, and implementing new software.

Q: Can I use an Ethernet cable for EtherCAT?

A: For connecting EtherCAT devices only Ethernet cables that meet the requirements of at least category 5 (CAt5) according to EN 50173 or ISO/IEC 11801 should be used. EtherCAT uses 4 wires for signal transfer.

Q: How to connect EtherCAT to PC?

A: Install TwinCAT software to PC with EtherCAT compatible network interface card (NIC). Connect Ethernet cable from PC to EtherCAT IN port on Gantner controller or bus coupler. Copy configuration (ESI) file from Gantner software directory to TwinCAT directory.

Q: Does EtherCAT require special hardware?

A: EtherCAT uses the standard IEEE 802.3 physical layer. No special hardware is required to implement an EtherCAT network. External switches are not used in an EtherCAT network. Instead, each device embeds a switch.

Q: Can EtherCAT go through a switch?

A: There is no restriction on the type of Ethernet device that can be connected within the EtherCAT strand via a switch port. Devices with fieldbus interface are integrated via EtherCAT fieldbus master terminals. The UDP protocol variant can be implemented on each socket interface.
