Thanks for your comments and the link. Modbus TCP is attractive because it seems to use standard Ethernet NICs as well as work with standard Ethernet switches. EtherCAT on the other hand seems to require special proprietary ASICs or NIC-chips? I am also guessing that to maintain low latency an EtherCAT switch is much more intelligent&expensive than a standard Ethernet switch.
