Why Stop at Efficiency? Build EtherCAT Networks for Maximum Reliability
In the race toward smarter, more automated industrial operations, every microsecond counts. In response to rising demands for higher precision, speed, and synchronization across industries like robotics, packaging, and semiconductors, EtherCAT has become the standard for high-performance motion control. Its unique “on-the-fly” processing principle delivers deterministic, high-speed communication that traditional industrial Ethernet protocols simply cannot deliver. But you probably know all of this already. These benefits are likely the reason you may have been using EtherCAT for your critical applications to begin with. But as industrial systems become more complex, a hidden vulnerability in the most common network topology could be threatening your operations.
