 EtherCAT - Ethernet for Control Automation Technology
EtherCAT is the new open real-time Ethernet network developed by Beckhoff.
EtherCAT sets new standards for real-time performance since it processes 1000 distributed I/O in 30 µs or 100 axis in 100 µs using twisted pair or fiber optic cable.
Regarding topology, EtherCAT gives you the choice: it supports a simple low cost line structure, a tree structure, daisy chaining or drop lines - no expensive infrastructure components are required....
