| Extreme short control cycle time |
|
– 100 μs (min. 50 μs)
– new performance class for PLC application: control loops with 100 μs
|
 |
| Extreme fast I/O response time |
|
– 85 μs (min. ~ 50 μs)
– Deterministic synchronised input and output signal conversion leads to low
process timing jitter.
– Process timing jitter is independent of communication and CPU jitter.
– new performance class for PLC application: control loops with 100 μs

 |
| Signal Oversampling |
– multiple signal conversion in one control cycle
– hard time synchronisation through distributed clocks
– for digital input/output signals
– for analog input/output signals
– support of analog I/O EtherCAT Terminals
– up to 200 kHz signal conversion
– down to 5 μs resolution
– application
– fast signal monitoring
– fast function generator output
– signal sampling independent of cycle time
– fast loop control
