4.3.12 EtherCAT interface
The EtherCAT fieldbus is a complete EtherCAT adapter (slave) for the network
connection with full duplex features of 100BASE-TX. These are fully utilized so
that effective data rates of almost 200 MBit/s can be achieved.
EtherCAT is an open technology that is standardized in IEC 61158 and IEC
61784 as well as in ISO 15745-4.
The interface can be configured by software.
