When using only DeweSoft EtherCAT devices (KRYPTON, SIRIUSe or IOLITE), the connection is             
straightforward via ECAT to ECAT cable. 

For data transmission, data synchronization, and power supply the EtherCAT protocol with 100 Mb/s bus               
speed is used. Devices are connected together with a single cable for data, power, and sync. 
All data is always perfectly synchronized down to microsecond accuracy, even though each data source               
can have different sampling rates (software selectable for each channel). 

No additional cables are needed, because the synchronization between modules runs through the             
same EtherCAT cable as power and data. This makes the system more transparent and reduces the                
