Abstract
EtherCAT is the dominant solution in the area of fieldbus technology, while the IEEE 802.1Q standard combined with Ethernet is the preferred office network. The emerging Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) standards provide real-time capabilities in the IEEE 802 networks. Using EtherCAT at the machine level and interconnecting machines with switches creates a state-of-the-art industrial Ethernet network architecture. However, some complex machines will still require an enhanced communication infrastructure inside. Integrating EtherCAT segments into a TSN network can combine the benefits of both technologies without requiring any changes to the EtherCAT slaves. The adaptation simply requires an upgrade at the master side and a moderate extension in terms of the switches that connect EtherCAT segments.
