Complete High-Performance Machine Automation with EtherCAT

Abstract

Learn why Omron chose EtherCAT as their real-time control network to synchronize motion, sequence, I/O, and other key sensing components. See specific applications that highlight how systems implemented with EtherCAT make configuration and setup simple without sacrificing flexibility, and make integration easier without sacrificing performance.
