摘要：

The features of EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) devices, developed by Beckhoff Industrie Elektronik to bring Ethernet to the I/ O domain are discussed. EtherCAT enables high-performance machine controls to be realised, and is capable to exchange many distributed signals with cycle times significantly below 100μs. The devices can be addressed via a single Ethernet telegram with several EtherCAT commands, which leads to a significant improvement of the usable data rate. Another advantage of EtherCAT is that it is independent of the transmission speed and can be used for 2GB or more without modification.
