TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL
4.14.1.2. EtherCAT
When using only DeweSoft EtherCAT devices (KRYPTON, SIRIUSe or IOLITE), the connection is
straightforward via ECAT to ECAT cable.
For data transmission, data synchronization, and power supply the EtherCAT protocol with 100 Mb/s bus
speed is used. Devices are connected together with a single cable for data, power, and sync.
All data is always perfectly synchronized down to microsecond accuracy, even though each data source
can have different sampling rates (software selectable for each channel).
No additional cables are needed, because the synchronization between modules runs through the
same EtherCAT cable as power and data. This makes the system more transparent and reduces the
chances of wiring errors,...
