EtherCAT is a technology used for the controlled Automation by the use of existing Ethernet Backbone. EtherCAT (Ethernet Control Automation Technology) is a high-performance, industrial communication protocol for deterministic Ethernet.It can be used for the Automatic meter reading with in the microsecond range from greater than 5000 nodes. It extends the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard to transfer data with predictable timing and precise synchronization.EtherCAT implements a master/slave architecture over standard Ethernet cabling. EtherCAT masters from National Instruments consist of real-time controllers with dual Ethernet ports such as NI CompactRIO, PXI, and Industrial Controllers. Each NI slave also contains two ports that permit daisy chaining from the master controller.
