Anybus CompactCom 40-series

The Anybus CompactCom M40 for EtherCAT is a complete communication module which enables your products to communicate on an EtherCAT network.

The module supports very fast communication speeds between your device and EtherCAT (process data is copied in hardware, bypassing the processor, making the data latency almost zero).

The module comes with an integrated EtherCAT Slave Controller implemented in the module’s NP40 chip and supports Distributed Clocks Synchronization with cycle times as low as 100µs.

File access over EtherCAT (FoE) is supported as well as Modular Device Profile.
