EtherCAT Technology Group announces support for EtherCAT G
EtherCAT技術(shù)協(xié)會(huì)宣布支持EtherCAT G
October 24, 2019 – The Technical Committee of the EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG) has accepted EtherCAT G as an addition to the EtherCAT standard. Moving forward, EtherCAT G, which extends EtherCAT technology to 1 and 10 Gbit/s, will be supported and promoted by the ETG.
2019年10月24日——EtherCAT技術(shù)協(xié)會(huì)(ETG)技術(shù)委員會(huì)已接受EtherCAT G作為EtherCAT標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的補(bǔ)充。展望未來,ETG將支持并推廣將EtherCAT技術(shù)擴(kuò)展到1至10 Gbit/s的EtherCAT G。
EtherCAT G was introduced by Beckhoff Automation in 2018 as an extension of the EtherCAT standard. Beckhoff recently presented the gigabit technology addition to the ETG, and after thorough review, the organization’s Technical Committee accepted it. Right now, the ETG is working to add EtherCAT G to the corresponding technology specifications.
作為EtherCAT標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的擴(kuò)展,倍福自動(dòng)化在2018年推出了EtherCAT G。倍福最近向ETG提出了千兆技術(shù)的補(bǔ)充,經(jīng)過全面審查,該組織的技術(shù)委員會(huì)接受了這項(xiàng)技術(shù)。目前,ETG正在努力將EtherCAT G添加到相應(yīng)的技術(shù)規(guī)范中。
The 100 Mbit/s EtherCAT technology remains a solution for the majority of applications. However, EtherCAT G offers additional user advantages, especially in applications where particularly large amounts of process data must be transported per device. This can include, for example machine vision, high-end measurement technology or complex motion applications that go beyond the scope of classic drive control. As an extension of standard EtherCAT technology, EtherCAT G is fully compatible; existing devices designed for 100 Mbit/s can be integrated into an EtherCAT G system, and EtherCAT G devices in a 100 Mbit/s EtherCAT system behave like classic EtherCAT devices.
100 Mbit/s EtherCAT技術(shù)仍然是應(yīng)用最多的解決方案。但是,EtherCAT G提供了更多的用戶優(yōu)勢,特別是在每個(gè)設(shè)備必須傳輸大量過程數(shù)據(jù)的應(yīng)用。例如,這可能包括機(jī)器視覺、高端測量技術(shù)或復(fù)雜運(yùn)動(dòng)應(yīng)用,這些都超出了典型驅(qū)動(dòng)控制的范圍。作為標(biāo)準(zhǔn)EtherCAT技術(shù)的擴(kuò)展,EtherCAT G完全兼容。為100 Mbit/s設(shè)計(jì)的現(xiàn)有設(shè)備可以集成到EtherCAT G系統(tǒng)中,而100 Mbit/s EtherCAT系統(tǒng)中的EtherCAT G設(shè)備就類似于傳統(tǒng)的EtherCAT設(shè)備。
The central element of EtherCAT G is the use of EtherCAT Branch Controllers, which essentially fulfill two main functions: On the one hand, they act as a kind of node for the integration of segments from 100 Mbit/s devices; on the other hand, they enable parallel processing of the connected EtherCAT segments.
EtherCAT G的核心元素是EtherCAT分支控制器的使用,它基本上完成了兩個(gè)主要功能:一方面,它們充當(dāng)集成100 Mbit/s設(shè)備的網(wǎng)段的一種節(jié)點(diǎn);另一方面,它們可以并行處理連接的EtherCAT網(wǎng)段。
Typical for EtherCAT: The integration of EtherCAT G is simple, as the extension is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard and no software adaptions in controllers are required for the standard mode.
典型的EtherCAT:EtherCAT G的集成非常簡單,因?yàn)閿U(kuò)展完全與IEEE 802.3以太網(wǎng)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)兼容,并且標(biāo)準(zhǔn)模式不需要控制器中的軟件適配。
