Technology Overview
- EtherCAT is a highly flexible Ethernet network protocol that is developing at a rapid rate and growing at en even faster clip.
- A principle called “processing on the fly” gives EtherCAT high speed operation, greater efficiency, and a handful of other unique advantages.
- A partnership between the IEG and the International Electrotecnical Commission (IEC) has led to standardization throughout EtherCAT’s history.
