Real-Time Ethernet Master/Slave Network
EtherCAT
EtherCAT is an open real-time Ethernet Master/Slave network developed by Beckhoff. Today, it is an open standard, managed by the EtherCAT technology group. EtherCAT sets new limits for real-time performance since it processes 1000 distributed I/O in 30 µs or 100 axis in 100 µs using twisted pair or fiber optic cable. Regarding topology, EtherCAT supports a simple low cost line structure, a tree structure, daisy chaining or drop lines - no expensive infrastructure components are required. Alternatively the classic more expensive switched star topology can be used.

Fieldbus Network
CC-Link
CC-Link is a Fieldbus network that processes both cyclic I/O data and acyclic parameter data at high speed. CC-Link was developed by Mitsubishi and today, it is managed by the CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA). CC-Link is a very popular network in Asia. Worldwide, it is used for time-critical applications based on Mitsubishi Automation technology. CC-Link products are certified by the CLPA, guaranteeing worldwide compatibility.
