EtherCAT protocol Ethernet cable
EtherCAT has reached a new height in network performance. The refresh cycle of 1000 distributed I/O data is only 30μs, including the terminal cycle time. Through one Ethernet frame, up to 1486 bytes of process data can be exchanged, which is almost equivalent to 12000 digital I/Os. And the transmission of this amount of data takes only 300μs.
