Industrial Protocols (EtherCAT)
3.8µs EtherCAT<4µs cycle time · IEC 62443 compliant
⚠The Problem
Industrial machinery requires cycle-accurate deterministic communication between controllers and drives. Standard Ethernet cannot guarantee delivery timing. Proprietary fieldbus implementations lock you into vendor ecosystems. EtherCAT's hardware-timestamped distributed clock eliminates jitter — but only when implemented correctly.
Our Approach
- EtherCAT master stack (SOEM/IgH) on Linux with PREEMPT_RT patch
- Distributed clock synchronization: all slaves synchronized to <100ns
- IEC 62443-compliant network segmentation and access control
- CoE (CANopen over EtherCAT) profile implementation for drives
- PDO/SDO object dictionary management and hot-connect support
