EtherCAT is an open source, high-performance Ethernet-based fieldbus system for highly efficient automation control with good synchronization quality. EtherCAT facilitates rapid and real-time motion control of multiple axes. The EtherCAT master is optimized for the demands of multiple axes, high speed and high precision for fast, high-performance machine control systems.

Ultra-rapid and high-performance EtherCAT communication is achieved by Delta’s rugged and compact gateway-type E-bus power coupler and 16-channel digital I/O remote modules for high-precision and demanding industrial applications.
