Are you ready to bridge the gap between IT and OT networks?
Join us to discover how acontis is enabling EtherCAT devices to operate seamlessly within IT networks: EtherCAT-based machinery directly controlled from the IT server room!
EtherCAT is known to many as the Ethernet Fieldbus – easy to use, extremely fast and reliable, safe and secure – but with the typical operation mode it is incompatible with IT networks using network switches.
Good news: EtherCAT can now control EtherCAT segments over existing IT networks using the new EtherCAT Open Mode (EOM). EOM offers significant benefits in flexibility, reliability, and cost but also introduces some limitations in real-time performance and cybersecurity.
acontis successfully met the challenge of delivering an easy-to-use yet high-performance solution that can be tailored to specific needs.
In this webinar, we will provide an overview of EtherCAT Open Mode, including potential use cases and implementation methods.
