Evaluation of EtherCAT Distributed Clock Performance
IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, 2012EtherCAT is a real-time Ethernet protocol conceived explicitly for industrial applications. It is characterized by high communication efficiency, which permits control loops to be closed with short cycle times, and is provided with a suitable mechanism, known as distributed clock (DC), that enables synchronized operations to take place across the ...

A distribute-merge switch for EtherCAT networks
2010 IEEE International Workshop on Factory Communication Systems Proceedings, 2010EtherCAT is a popular industrial Ethernet solution conceived mainly for connecting control applications to remote I/Os. Because of its high communication efficiency - that achieves cycle times well below 1ms-it can be profitably adopted for motion control systems as well, which are known to have tight timing constraints.

Dynamic drift compensation for the Distributed clock in EtherCAT
2009 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO), 2009This paper focuses on the synchronization between master clock and slave clock in the Distributed clock of EtherCAT. It supports very accurate synchronization function which let local slaves follow reference time under the degree of few nano second differences. However, there exists the propagation delay between reference clock and slave clock.
