EtherCAT / FSoE

EtherCAT is the efficient Ethernet communication technology for high-performing real-time communication functions as well as for high synchronisation accuracy of the factory automation. For realising a safe data transmission for EtherCAT, the protocol Safety-over-EtherCAT (FSoE) has been defined. Safety-over-EtherCAT complies with the SIL3 of the IEC 61508 and allows the transmission of safe and unsafe information in a communication system. It does not cause any limitations regarding the transmission rate and the cycle time.
