EtherCAT moves I/O data over physical Ethernet, processing on the fly with nodes and an EtherCAT master. EtherCAT is fast and flexible, especially paired with KEBembedded IPCs.

EtherNet/IP is transported via Ethernet cabling using TCP/IP. This protocol is based on Ethernet standards, making it accessible to IT teams. Highperformance servo drives across standard Ethernet networks support EtherNet/IP.
