EtherCAT systems
EtherCAT solutions are becoming more and more popular in automation technology.
One reason for this may be that these systems are able to replace field buses and therefore require only one computer network.
In this way, real-time Ethernet solutions help optimizing processes between the production level and the IT level.
ADDI-DATA offers I/O slave systems for
- analog inputs
- digital I/Os
- EnDAT 2.2 sensors
- Transducers : LVDT, HB, RVDT, Mahr, …
Benefits
- Hot-plug enabled
- Fast systems: Burst acquisition possible (systems are faster than the bus cycle)
- Systems can be synchronized with one another for more precise acquisitions
- High precision
