System overview EtherCAT
CXxxxx-B110
10
Version: 1.3
Diagnostics
• breaking point detection
• Topology View
• continuous “quality of line” measurement
enables accurate localisation of transmission
faults
Interfaces
• switch port terminal for standard Ethernet
devices
• fieldbus terminals for fieldbus devices
• decentralised serial interfaces
• communication gateways
• gateway to other EtherCAT systems
Openness
• fully Ethernet-compatible
• operation with switches and routers possible,
but not required
• mixed operation with other protocols also
possible
• internet technologies (Web server, FTP, etc.)
• compatible with the existing Bus Terminal range
• protocol is published completely
• EtherCAT is IEC, ISO and SEMI standard.
