Hello users of EtherLab! We are planing a retrofit a control system in the industrial field with EtherCAT components.
* 500 digital I/Os * 4 Analog Inputs * 15 Analog Outputs * SSI Input * Some 9.6kbaud RS232 ports Cycle Time should be in the range of 1 to 10ms. What hardware would you recommend? I have an offer for a Beckhoff IPC for around 2.000€ for an Core i7 with 4 LAN ports. Another offer is about 800€ for a similar desktop system. How critical is the decision for or against the supported Ethernet chip sets (e1000, e1000e or r8169)? Would the generic driver be sufficient? Kind regards, Karl Zeilhofer
