Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE) is the safety layer used for EtherCAT network devices. It is defined in IEC 61784-3 CPF12 and in ETG.5100.

Within the ETG.9100, the approval of conformance to the Safety over EtherCAT Specification is required. This shall be done with in-house tests and within an FSoE Test Center.

Please note the updated FSoE Terminology (FAQ > 1.5).
