Smartline™ Series with Upgraded EtherCAT Module

Models of the Smartline™ have been equipped with an upgraded EtherCAT module.

This enhancement not only offers significantly expanded functionality but also provides a more user-friendly experience in day-to-day operation.

Thanks to full support for the Thyracont Communication Protocol V2, additional diagnostic and maintenance features are now available. These include, for example, the ability to read out sensor wear parameters – a major advantage for predictive maintenance.

In addition, firmware updates can now be conveniently installed via the EtherCAT interface – without having to remove the device or use any external programming hardware. This saves time, reduces maintenance costs, and increases overall system reliability.
