Today, let's consider Industrial EtherCAT Solution.
What Are the Key Advantages of the Industrial Automation EtherCAT Solution?
This solution provides precise synchronization of less than 1 microsecond between slave modules using distributed clocks, which is essential for high-speed automation. Planet offers devices that feature a compact DIN-rail design and support daisy-chain wiring to simplify installation in distributed environments. Furthermore, this system efficiently converts and transforms data to optimize overall factory operation and management.
1. EtherCAT Junction Slave Module (Junction Slave Module)
How an EtherCAT Junction Slave Module Helps to Expand Networks
This junction slave module helps by providing multiple copper ports to effectively expand network segments and enable flexible data transmission topologies. Planet designed this product type to support daisy-chain wiring, which allows users to easily install and manage slave modules within a complex network. By facilitating precise synchronization and flexible connections, it significantly aids in optimizing the management of distributed industrial systems.
2. Industrial EtherCAT Media Converter (Optic Convertor)
What is an Industrial EtherCAT Media Converter?
An EtherCAT Media Converter is a device designed to extend data transmission distances using fiber optics while maintaining a compact form factor. Planet manufactures this product type to allow for powerful networking capabilities and easy installation via DIN-rail mounting. This equipment is crucial for integrating distributed industrial applications into a cohesive Factory Automation system using standard ESI files.
3. EtherCAT Slave I/O Module (Digital IO module)
Who Needs EtherCAT Slave I/O Modules?
Professionals managing factory automation and Industry 4.0 infrastructures are the primary users who need this type of slave I/O module for their operations. Planet produces these devices to help users convert and analyze digital input/output data effectively. These modules are specifically designed for those requiring robust equipment that can withstand harsh operating temperatures and anti-surge conditions.
4. Applications
Suitable for Factory Automation and More
Designed for distributed industrial applications, the IECJ-300 EtherCAT junction is suitable for factory automation and more. Its 3 copper ports (one input and two output) can expand network for data transmission. It provides powerful features though it is compact in size. Its DIN-rail mounting and daisy-chain wiring powered by EtherCAT technology can easily install the slave modules in the network segment. With the standard ESI file, users can always find suitable I/O modules for their high-speed EtherCAT-based applications.
Industrial-grade EtherCAT Media Converter for Factory Automation
IECC-210-KIT is an EtherCAT Media Converter for distributed industrial applications. The kit with fiber optic can extend distance for data transmission and provides powerful features in a compact size. DIN-rail design and daisy-chain wiring powered by EtherCAT technology make it easy to install the modules in the field. With the standard ESI file, users can always find suitable I/O modules for their high-speed EtherCAT-based applications.
Synchronization
An EtherCAT slave is an electronic device that carries out cyclical sequences of calculations and/or data copying tasks at a certain interval (cycle). The EtherCAT slave working cycle (e.g. in the range of a few µs up to several ms) can be derived from different sources. EtherCAT node can measure time difference between leaving and returning frame. With distributed clocks, EtherCAT can realize a precise synchronization time of <1us between each slave module.
