ETG News 2017
ETG celebrates 10 years in the US, China and South Korea
11/2017 | This year three out of the five EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG) offices celebrated their 10th anniversary. In 2007 the ETG, with global headquarters in Nuremberg, Germany, had just reached the milestone of 500 member companies and decided to expand the organization’s international presence. The ETG office in Yokohama, Japan had already been founded in 2006. The next step was to open up offices in the US, China and South Korea in order to best support the local ETG member companies.The international ETG offices have responsibilities that range from technical support to marketing. Events such as educational industrial Ethernet seminars and Plug Fests are coordinated locally and developed according to each region’s needs. Participation in trade shows is also organized by the respective office. Furthermore, these offices support the local ETG member companies with the application and implementation of EtherCAT technology. By statute, ETG members must be businesses or institutes, not private individuals.
ETG celebrates record year of events
11/2017 | We have seen a record year in 2017 – not only regarding the amount of seminars held, but also the number of countries in which they took place.In 2012, ten countries were covered and the tally for this year has grown to 22 nations. With almost two seminars per country, the total number of events has reached 39, which is also a new record. Nine of this year’s host countries saw their first ever EtherCAT Industrial Ethernet seminar, namely Russia, Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia and Croatia.
ETG supplements EtherCAT Standard with TSN for use in heterogeneous networks
11/2017 | We have supplemented EtherCAT with Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) technologies, expanding the field of possible EtherCAT applications to include heterogeneous network environments. With the help of TSN, industrial controls can contact a number of different EtherCAT segments in real-time through Ethernet networks. In doing so, no changes to the EtherCAT slave devices are required: the EtherCAT Device Protocol, including all high performance characteristics, is fully preserved. Also expanded by TSN is the EtherCAT Automation Protocol (EAP) for communication between controls, which will result in even more deterministic performance on this level.
2017 EtherCAT Seminar Series UK
11/2017 | It is our great pleasure to invite everybody interested in learning about Industrial Ethernet and especially EtherCAT to participate in our free-of-charge Industrial Ethernet Seminar Series in UK, taking place in Bristol (December, 5) and Sheffield (December, 6).Industrial Ethernet and EtherCAT in particular are hot topics in the global automation industry: Traditional fieldbus systems are showing their limitations today as new technologies are appearing that provide more performance and support for Internet protocols. Automation system users have to decide if, when and how to adopt these next generation networks.
Expert's presentations from the EtherCAT Technology Group and local application examples as well as time for on-site networking and discussion with the experts and the accompanying table-top exhibition provide you with a complete overview on benefits and challenges of EtherCAT for you and your application, especially in the context of Industry 4.0 and IoT. Other hot topics like EtherCAT P, TSN, Installation and Diagnosis of EtherCAT networks will be handled as well.

ETG congratulates Emirates Team New Zealand for winning the America’s Cup 2017
06/2017 | The world’s largest fieldbus user organization, the EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG), congratulates its member Emirates Team New Zealand for winning the America’s Cup – the oldest and most prestigious trophy in international sport.With a 7-1 scoreline the New Zealanders dominated the final stage of the Cup on the Great Sound in Bermuda. The high-tech America’s Cup Class (ACC) catamarans used for the exciting match races employ sophisticated hydraulics to control the wing sail and the hydrofoils. Super-fast and reliable bus communication is a key element of the hydraulic control system, and the EtherCAT Technology Group is thrilled that its technology has been of help for taking the Cup back to the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron in Auckland.
Emirates Team New Zealand is a high-technology yachting team whose challenge for the 34th America’s Cup in Bermuda in 2017 involved the world’s most technical racing yachts that travel more than 60km/h. For New Zealanders, their team and the America’s Cup came to typify many of the nation’s values – a can-do attitude, teamwork, tagging on the big guy accepting a challenge and striving for excellence.

EtherCAT: Staying ahead with Industrie 4.0 and IoT developments
04/2017 | There is nothing new about the suitability of EtherCAT when enabling the concepts of Industrie 4.0. The technology has, by design, all the tools necessary to support the digital transformation. As the world’s largest fieldbus user organisation, the ETG strives to be actively involved in the developments surrounding Industrie 4.0 and IoT.The success of EtherCAT has always been based on the outstanding characteristics of the technology, including exceptional performance, high flexibility and open interfaces. As a result, EtherCAT is inherently well-suited to meet and exceed the requirements of the digital transformation. Thus, the leading performance of the technology achieves an important prerequisite for adding big data applications to control networks. In addition, the high flexibility of EtherCAT makes it possible to establish cloud connectivity in existing systems without having to alter the control system or manually update the slave devices. The open interfaces permit the easy integration of any IT-based protocol within the master or directly into the slave devices. Ultimately, this enables direct connection from the sensor to the cloud without protocol discontinuities.
The fact that all of these properties were already part of the technology from the outset highlights the long-term sustainability of the EtherCAT architecture. Should further features become relevant in the course of development, these can be easily integrated without changing the basic protocol: EtherCAT has been and remains stable as version 1 since its introduction in 2003.
The ETG has also contributed to the development of TSN (Time Sensitive Networking) from the very beginning. Years ago, when TSN was still known as AVB, EtherCAT experts were already actively involved in the TSN working group within IEEE 802.1. This was logical considering that EtherCAT, due to its unique functional principle, provides leaner and faster access from controls – including those based in the cloud – to networks on EtherCAT slaves when compared with any other fieldbus or industrial Ethernet technology.

ETG @ embedded world 2017
03/2017 | All those who want to learn more about EtherCAT as industrial Ethernet technology for embedded systems are invited to visit our booth in hall 3A, booth 217 at this year’s edition of the embedded world tradeshow in Nuremberg, Germany.With the slogan “EtherCAT – Best Fit for Embedded Systems” we present the EtherCAT technology at our freshly designed, resized tradeshow booth. Besides an embedded systems live demo our guests can look forward to the great development product variety shown on booth.
Due to its system features EtherCAT is suited perfectly for the embedded market. The technology doesn’t need any switches or hubs and is the only hard real-time capable industrial Ethernet technology which doesn’t require special hardware in the master. Additionally, the gros of the slave connection is integrated in cost-effective chips instead of stacks which walso makes the slave implementation very simple.
The EtherCAT experts on-site are looking forward to discuss questions about the technology and the special requirements in the field of embedded systems with all visitors.
Please be aware about our changed booth location: This year you’ll find us in hall 3A, stand 217
