1 ADOPTION RATE Dear Members,

2 TECHNOLOGY I would like to ask each and every one of you how you are doing: Not 3 PRODUCT GUIDE in the sense of a greeting, but in the hope that you and your loved

4 CONFORMANCE + WEBSITE ones are in good health and that you will be able to cope with the CONTENT

5 SPECIFICATION EDITORIAL difficult economic conditions of this global crisis! 6 NEW MEMBERS COVID-19 is a challenge of unprecedented proportions. But we should not forget that we as members of the EtherCAT community 8 MEMBERSHIP GROWTH are among the privileged ones. This is not only because of EtherCAT – and certainly because of it – but because almost all of us belong to further information the automation industry, and this industry will certainly be among the first to be in demand again after the crisis. www.ethercat.org In ETG offices, of course, many things are different at the moment: In Germany, the USA and Japan, most of us still work from our home offices. Face-to-face meetings have not been able to take place since March and had to be replaced by online meetings or even cancelled altogether – and this will be the new normal for quite some time. Our EtherCAT technology introduction seminars cannot be held as usual, and I know I am not alone with the feeling that NOT travelling is a huge change. However, many things have remained the same: In fact, the ETG technical support team reports an increase in demand. It appears that many members are using the newly gained time for new EtherCAT developments. We are also continuing to expand the EtherCAT ecosystem. Especially for developers, the revised protocol overview poster is available for download, the Knowledge Base is constantly being enhanced, and the range of EtherCAT applications is constantly widening with new specifications for special applications, such as for test and measurement. And many companies continue to join ETG – although not quite as many as in normal times. Speaking of normal times: We all hope they will come back soon and that you will stay healthy! With best wishes on behalf of the entire EtherCAT Technology Group team,

Martin Rostan, Executive Director

ETG supports EtherCAT G

At its last meeting, the Technical Committee of the EtherCAT Technology Group has accepted EtherCAT G and G10 as an addition to the EtherCAT standard. Moving forward, EtherCAT G and G10, which extends EtherCAT technology to 1 and 10 Gb/s, respectively, is now supported and promoted by TECHNOLOGY the ETG. But wait… What is EtherCAT G? EtherCAT G: communication at gigabit levels As an extension of the standard EtherCAT protocol, EtherCAT G/ G10 enables data communication at rates of 1 Gb/s as well as 10 Gb/s. This is particularly useful, when transmitting large amounts of process data per network participant, such as with machine vision, high-end measurement technology or in complex motion applications. The EtherCAT protocol itself as well as all of its positive features and increases the system performance many times over. are fully retained with EtherCAT G/G10. EtherCAT G/G10 is fully In typical EtherCAT-fashion, the configuration of the EtherCAT compatible with the IEEE 802.3 standard and the topology Branch Controllers is managed via the master, so no additional IT flexibility stays the same, too: Drop lines, lines, daisy chains or configuration tools are needed. The only thing the master has to tree structures can all be realized. offer is an according Gb/s port. Important features such as The gigabit extension also introduces the branch concept, which diagnostics or network synchronization via Distributed Clocks are is implemented with the so called EtherCAT Branch Controllers supported by the EBCs and are forwarded into the connected (EBC). The EBCs act as nodes for the integration of independent segments transparently. segments with 100 Mb/s devices on the one hand, and on the EtherCAT G/G10 thus opens up the advantages of significantly other hand, they enable parallel processing to the connected increased bandwidth and reduced propagation times without EtherCAT segments within an EtherCAT G network. The the field devices themselves all having to be equipped with combination of Gb/s segments with 100 Mb/s segments is easily gigabit interfaces: The tried and tested 100 Mb/s devices are possible, too. retained and, through the EtherCAT Branch Controller concept, The forwarding of the data into the single segments is priority- still benefit from the technology expansion. This means that and/or time-controlled, with each branch treated like an EtherCAT is ready for enhanced future requirements. independent EtherCAT segment: A frame doesn’t run through all Press release segments in series, but the segments are processed in parallel.

FSoE Conformance Test – mandatory for manufacturers of safety devices

In applications where life and limb are at stake, or where proof must also be provided for the reliable and standard- valuable machines and manufactured goods require protection, compliant implementation of the Safety over EtherCAT protocol. safety devices ensure the necessary safety measures in the field. One of the means of choice for this is the so-called FSoE In the event of a fault, they trigger mechanisms at lightning Conformance Test, which is carried out by an officially speed, which, for example, force an emergency stop of a recognized FSoE test service provider in the EtherCAT Test machine to reliably ensure the safety of the application and Center. According to the FSoE Policy, each manufacturer is CONFORMANCE above all of the operator. obliged to perform this test, which in itself already constitutes a To formally confirm this high level of safety, the manufacturers of subset of the formally required proof overall. such devices are subject to official requirements during Read full article development, testing and implementation. The EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG) therefore offers manufacturers of Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE) devices an ecosystem with a wide range of support services such as tools, tests, documents and consultation. The central component of these support services is the official FSoE Conformance Test, which is mandatory for manufacturers. The development of functional safety devices is associated with a rigorous formal effort, which on the one hand results in high quality hardware and software, and on the other hand also ensures verifiability. Finally, before the market launch, a recognized test center must prove that the entire implementation meets the requirements of the desired Safety Integrity Level (SIL). In addition to the actual safety-relevant function of the application

Master-independent diagnostic interface for EtherCAT networks Diagnostic capabilities are one of the key features in determining the success of a fieldbus technology. To further improve the diagnosis in EtherCAT networks, the EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG) has defined a vendor independent diagnostic interface with the specification ETG.1510 “Profile for Master Diagnosis Interface”. This enables EtherCAT masters to provide detailed network diagnostic information and health status to third party tools in a user friendly and standard way. In modern industry machine and plant availability represent one of the most important factors in order to guarantee efficiency and competitiveness, and EtherCAT enables this by means of a well proven technology relying on a robust communication could falsify signals travelling on the communication path. In all infrastructure. these cases, the diagnostic capabilities of the fieldbus represent Yet, industrial environments can be challenging even for reliable the key element in order to detect errors, determine its location communication technologies like EtherCAT: constantly moving and possible causes, and reduce thereby the machine downtime parts or continuous vibrations could cause temporary link losses as much as possible.
