Recently, customers from Serbia are looking for a series of inverters with Ethercat functions in the Chinese inverter market. After testing samples from different manufacturers, the end customer finally chose us and presented our products at their exhibition. This gave We were inspired by significant information

Advantages of the Ethernet Protocol

(1) Fast Ethernet

EtherCAT is very fast. It can process 1000 distributed I/O signals in 30 µs over twisted pair or optical cable, or 100 axes in 100 µs.

(2) Accurate timing (biggest advantage)

With nanosecond-level synchronization, protocol stack processing latency is only a few nanoseconds.

(3) Flexible topology

EtherCAT networks can support up to 65,535 devices without topology restrictions. A virtually unlimited number of nodes can form a linear, tree, star topology, or any combination of topologies.

(4) Low cost and easy to implement.

EtherCAT offers industrial Ethernet functionality at a price comparable to or even lower than traditional fieldbus systems. The host hardware requires only one Ethernet port—no expensive interface cards or coprocessors are required.

(5) Open technology

Widely adopted open standard. More and more devices are connected via fieldbus or wireless networks.

For these reasons, EtherCAT is widely suitable for:

Robots, Machine Tools, Packaging Equipment, Printing Machines, Plastics Machines, Stamping Machines, Semiconductor Manufacturing, Test Benches, Test Systems, Grippers, Power Plants, Substations, Material Handling, Baggage Delivery, Stage Control, Automated Assembly, Paper Manufacturing , tunnel control, Welding machines, cranes, agricultural machinery, coastal applications, sawmills, window manufacturing, construction management, steel mills, fans, furniture manufacturing, milling machines, automatic tractors, entertainment automation, pharmaceuticals, woodworking, plate glass manufacturing, weighing systems .
