ISIT FSoE protocol Stack Safety over EtherCAT

ISIT's Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE) protocol stack adds certified safety communication to your applications in full compliance with the IEC 61784-3-12 standard. It is tailored for systems that require functional safety at the communication layer.

FSoE : Safety over EtherCAT - Fail-Safe over EtherCAT

Fail-Safe over EtherCAT (FSoE) is a cornerstone of modern industrial automation. By ensuring safe and reliable data exchange, FSoE plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity of industrial processes.

Communication layers of FSoE:
  • EtherCAT (Layer 2): Provides a fast and efficient communication backbone between industrial devices.
  • FSoE Protocol (Layer 7): Dedicated to safety and reliability, introducing advanced mechanisms that guarantee safe and predictable data exchange.
With ISIT’s FSoE stack, devices can exchange safety data seamlessly over EtherCAT while leveraging built-in fault detection mechanisms. This ensures a high level of safety, quick fault response, and maximum process uptime.

Benefits of FSoE
  • Proactive fault detection enhances overall system reliability.
  • Built-in safety mechanisms maintain secure operation even in communication fault conditions.
  • Rapid fault response minimizes safety risks.

ISIT FSoE Stack : Features and Benefits

  • Seamless integration of safety communication over EtherCAT networks.
  • Pre-certified for IEC 61508 up to SIL 3 (depending on architecture).
  • Modular design, adaptable to project-specific needs.
  • Available in both Master (Main-instance) and Slave (Sub-instance) versions.
  • Generic, easy-to-use programming interface.
  • Compatible with most EtherCAT Master and Slave protocol stacks.
  • Certifiable against additional standards (IEC 62304, DO-178, etc.).
