ISIT FSoE protocol Stack Safety over EtherCAT

ISIT's Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE) protocol stack allows you to add Safety communication to your applications in compliance with the IEC61784-3-12 standard to meet the requirements of applications and systems integrating functional safety at communication level.

FSoE : Safety over EtherCAT ou Fail-Safe over EtherCAT

The FSoE protocol is a crucial component of industrial automation systems. By ensuring secure and reliable communication, FSoE communication plays an essential role in preserving the integrity of industrial processes.

FSoE communication components:
  • EtherCAT (Layer 2): EtherCAT, as the underlying layer, facilitates fast and efficient communication between industrial devices.
  • FSoE protocol (Layer 7): The FSoE layer, at Layer 7, is dedicated to security and reliability. It introduces advanced mechanisms to ensure trouble-free operation.

ISIT's FSoE stack enables the smooth exchange of data between devices via EtherCAT. It incorporates fault detection mechanisms to ensure a high level of safety and responsiveness in the event of problems.

Benefits of FSoE :
  • Proactive fault detection improves overall system reliability.
  • Integrated security strategies ensure safe operation even in the event of a fault.
  • Reactivity to faults minimises potential interruptions to industrial processes.
