Hi,
We also need an Ethercat solution but not for the same application.
We would like make network with real time camera sensors
So we need CPU power for image processing and Ethercat slave functionality.
We need two ethercat ports (integrated Microship LAN9252), 1 camera port, 1 Ethernet port to update firmware from a main PC.
It shall support 24V Power supply because it's a usual tension in the industry.
I would ideally like Power On Ethercat functionality to avoid power supply wiring in the network.
Application : Allow to add multiple eyes for robots, or to secure an automated zone, or ...
Thank you ! :)
