Overview
EtherCAT®(1) is a high speed, real time communication protocol that has the ability to update many devices in the microsecond range. This makes it ideal for multi-axis synchronised control or in systems where a master is coordinating a large variety of devices such as sensors, motion axes, distributed IO, etc.
The following network diagram shows a typical EtherCAT network including an EtherCAT master, 3 Cool Muscle slave devices and an additional IO module.
