EtherCAT included in EUROMAP specification

06/10 | The European association of manufacturers from plastics and rubber machineries has approved EtherCAT for their applications: EtherCAT was added as basic communication technology to the EUROMAP 75 specification which contains protocols for communication with peripheral equipment. Part 3 of the specification describes the implementation of real-time Ethernet systems.
Beside the standardization of EtherCAT for the semiconductor industry, this is another international standardization of EtherCAT within an industry specific sector. Both show the increasing acceptance and diffusion of the EtherCAT technology.
The final edition of the EUROMAP 75 specification can be downloaded at the website of the EUROMAP Technical Commission.
