Bronkhorst is the first and only supplier of these devices to offer this option, the company explains.
EtherCAT® is a highly flexible Ethernet network protocol with a number of advantages. It operates at high speed, with high efficiency and offers simple configuration.
A Bronkhorst press release says it is therefore ‘not surprising that EtherCAT® has been adopted rapidly within the worldwide market for control and automation’.
Bronkhorst has many years of experience with fieldbus communication. With its ‘multi-bus’ concept the company offers flexibility by equipping its digital instruments with interface boards for DeviceNet™, Profibus-DP®, Modbus or FLOW-BUS.
The wide range of digital metering and control devices is applied in many different markets, including the food & beverage and chemical industries, gas and fluid analysis equipment, glass and tool coating processes, and in machinery used to produce electronic chips, LED lights and solar cells.
