EtherCAT技术协会宣布支持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技术协会(ETG)技术委员会已接受EtherCAT G作为EtherCAT标准的补充。展望未来,ETG将支持并推广将EtherCAT技术扩展到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.

作为EtherCAT标准的扩展,倍福自动化在2018年推出了EtherCAT G。倍福最近向ETG提出了千兆技术的补充,经过全面审查,该组织的技术委员会接受了这项技术。目前,ETG正在努力将EtherCAT G添加到相应的技术规范中。

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技术仍然是应用最多的解决方案。但是,EtherCAT G提供了更多的用户优势,特别是在每个设备必须传输大量过程数据的应用。例如,这可能包括机器视觉、高端测量技术或复杂运动应用,这些都超出了典型驱动控制的范围。作为标准EtherCAT技术的扩展,EtherCAT G完全兼容。为100 Mbit/s设计的现有设备可以集成到EtherCAT G系统中,而100 Mbit/s EtherCAT系统中的EtherCAT G设备就类似于传统的EtherCAT设备。

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,它基本上完成了两个主要功能:一方面,它们充当集成100 Mbit/s设备的网段的一种节点;另一方面,它们可以并行处理连接的EtherCAT网段。

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的集成非常简单,因为扩展完全与IEEE 802.3以太网标准兼容,并且标准模式不需要控制器中的软件适配。
