EtherCat

EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is a high-performance, real-time industrial Ethernet protocol designed for automation systems. It enables fast and precise data exchange between devices such as PLCs, sensors, actuators, and motion control systems. EtherCAT supports distributed I/O, offering low latency and high-speed communication, making it ideal for applications requiring synchronized control and real-time performance. It is widely used in industries such as robotics, automotive, semiconductor manufacturing, and packaging, where high-speed, reliable communication is critical for complex automation and motion control tasks.
