How SPEAR built a modular rover with EtherCAT
With RT-Labs EtherCAT software, SPEAR transitioned from CAN to a distributed EtherCAT architecture, allowing motor controllers to be placed close to the actuators while simplifying system integration.
We provide the industry struggling with complex fieldbus requirements with unified communication solutions, enabling you to focus on what matters – your products
Industrial communication is difficult
Industrial products aimed for multiple markets needs to comply with multiple communication standards. This has previously been a complex and time consuming part of the overall product development. U-Phy is the easiest way to get all the major industrial protocols into your product. You get one single and unified API for all fieldbuses and the hardware is free to use.
