Joe Geisinger, CTO of ARM Automation: “Thanks to the distributed clock function of EtherCAT, we have achieved optimum synchronization and precision. This provides the precision to coordinate the external I/O with the control and position of the drives in the sub-millisecond range: the position of the E.A.R.L. robot’s end effector is communicated to the EtherCAT drives to determine the exact time at which the ball needs to be released.”

Mr. Morihiko Ohkura, General Manager of the Production Engineering Innovation Division at Toyota Motor Corporation explains:
“I am pleased to announce that Toyota Motor Corporation will make the most of EtherCAT in our new factories to be built around the world. We have conducted thorough analysis and evaluation to compare various industrial Ethernet technologies. I believe the performance, determinism and simple wiring characteristics of EtherCAT, in addition to its openness, best fit with the needs of Toyota to evolve production systems with Industrial IoT concepts.”
“We strongly encourage our suppliers to prepare high-quality EtherCAT components” “…our strong interest in the new technology, EtherCAT P. The concept to integrate communication and power lines perfectly matches our lean production philosophy, TPS: the Toyota Production System. Simply put, the fewer cables, the better.”
