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:
Benefits of FSoE
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.
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.
