With the continuous advancement of Industry 4.0 process, real-time Ethernet technology is widely accepted in the field of automation, and the mainstream industrial real-time Ethernet protocols include PROFInet, Etherner/IP, EtherCAT, and so on. EtherCAT protocol is known for its fast transmission rate, short cycle time and stable signal, which is favored by users in the field of automation.

FSoE is a secure communication protocol based on EtherCAT, which can transmit functionally secure packets over traditional EtherCAT communication facilities.

CI532V03 New module for PNOZmulti2

As an expert in the field of mechanical safety, PILZ has created a new secure communication interface extension module (PNOZm EF EtherCAT FSoE) for its “star” safety controller, PNOZmulti2. Enables PNOZmulti2 to act as the master station of the FSoE secure communication network, controlling third-party FSoE secure remote I/O sites, FSoE sensors, FSoE drives, etc. Security controllers from PILZ communicate securely with other brands of security sensors and security drives through the FSoE network protocol. In addition, the PNOZ mEF EtherCAT FSoE secure communication interface extension module also supports the standard EtherCAT protocol, and can be used as the EtherCAT slave station for standard communication with the host computer.
