Overview of EtherCAT

EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is a fieldbus network that provides easy interconnection between control devices (PLC, PC, sensor, actuator, etc.).

EtherCAT was developed as an open communication standard to connect various field devices (sensor, actuator, Robot Controller, etc.). Because of the open communication standard, you can easily construct multi-vendor system with various devices developed around the world.
