EtherCAT – The Ethernet Fieldbus

The EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG) is the world's largest and fastest-growing Industrial Ethernet organization with over 7,400 member companies from 73 countries and the forum in which key user companies from various industries and leading automation suppliers join forces to support, promote and advance the EtherCAT technology.

EtherCAT is the open real-time Ethernet network originally developed by Beckhoff. EtherCAT sets new standards for real-time performance and topology flexibility, ready for Industrie 4.0.

EtherCAT also matches perfectly well with TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking): Please visit www.ethercat.org/TSN for more information.

EtherCAT G lifts EtherCAT technology up to gigabit levels – and thus delivers in applications that must transport particularly high process data per device. Please visit www.ethercat.org/EtherCAT-G for more details!
