EtherCAT for DC Power Systems

All of our advanced G5 modular systems are now available with an EtherCAT interface. This includes high voltage models (500V to 3kV) and high current variants (starting at 60V, current up to 89kA).

EtherCAT enables users to transfer large amounts of data in a single cycle, with transmission rates up to 1kHz. The communication protocol is customisable, allowing users to hone the interface to their specific requirements.

The relevant G5 product families can be found below:

G5-RSS Bidirectional DC High Voltage / High Current
G5-SOURCE DC Sources High Voltage / High Current
G5-REGEN DC Loads High Voltage / High Current
G5-CYCLER Battery Cyclers High Voltage / High Current

EtherCAT Interface for the G5 Series

If you already have modules onsite, then the interface can be retro-enabled. Contact ETPS today to find out more.
