Compendio EtherCAT: primi capitoli online
09/2020 | Il Compendio EtherCAT fornisce una descrizione completa e coerente di EtherCAT con i suoi dettagli tecnici, il sistema, l'implementazione e gli aspetti relativi all'utente. Esso integra le specifiche tecniche con un know-how facilmente accessibile, applicabile e specifico per l'applicazione. Il compendio è un work in progress, ma i primi capitoli sono già online.Il Compendio EtherCAT si rivolge ai lettori, agli sviluppatori e agli ingegneri di supporto e in generale a tutti gli interessati, così come agli ingegneri di progetto, agli studenti e agli accademici dei membri dell'ETG. Il Compendio EtherCAT è organizzato in diverse sezioni. I primi capitoli che vengono pubblicati fanno parte della sezione "Dettagli tecnologici". Altre sezioni che seguiranno sono "Introduzione a EtherCAT", "Aspetti del sistema", "Aspetti dell'implementazione" e "Aspetti dell'utente". I singoli capitoli vengono pubblicati uno per uno fino a formare il compendio completo di EtherCAT.
Il compendio EtherCAT può essere scaricato dal sito www.ethercat.org/compendium.

Crisis is time for innovation, gain market share with EtherCAT!
07/2020 |Martin Rostan does not believe in reinterpreting the crisis into advantages: motivational slogans alone do not help. But the additional time now available should be used well. During the Hannover Messe Digital Days 2020 the ETG Executive Director explained how.
ETG con nuovi contenuti multimediali
03/2020 | EtherCAT Technology Group offre nuovi contenuti multimediali a tutti gli interessati, e nelle prossime settimane pubblicherà sul proprio sito web e sul proprio canale Youtube un totale di otto nuovi video tecnici che illustrano brevemente le funzionalità e i vantaggi della tecnologia EtherCAT.I video sono al momento sottotitolati in tre lingue – Tedesco, Inglese e Cinese – e possono quindi essere visti senza problemi anche in assenza di audio. Altri video simili sono attesi in futuro.

ETG provides new educational tool for developers
02/2020 | The EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG) offers manufacturers, developers and users comprehensive support services for EtherCAT technology. The EtherCAT Device Protocol Poster is an additional tool that specifically helps developers of EtherCAT devices successfully navigate the EtherCAT world.The poster deals with the basics of EtherCAT technology, the EtherCAT Device Protocol (EDP), and provides a visual overview of EtherCAT. It describes the basic functional principles of EtherCAT, the structure of the frame and its processing in the EtherCAT Slave Controller (ESC). Additionally, it provides further information on the registers used by the ESC, the object model and references to relevant specification documents.
The target group for the EDP poster is primarily the developer community, and ETG intends for the document to serve as a basis for extended support for this group. Of course, the poster is also helpful for all who want to delve deeper into the EtherCAT technology. For example, students who want to get a general overview of the technology, will find the document a helpful support tool.
Stephan Köhnen, the EtherCAT expert at ETG who was responsible for the EtherCAT Device Protocol Poster project, explains: “My goal for the poster was to provide EtherCAT device developers a visual basis for a deeper understanding of EtherCAT technology. Comparable to a geographic map, the poster helps to orientate oneself in the EtherCAT world.”
The poster is available for all free of charge, including those without ETG membership, and available in English and Japanese. It is available in printed form in ETG trade fair booths and at ETG seminars. Those who prefer the digital version can access the document free of charge at www.ethercat.org/poster.
