CompactLogix and EtherCAT

[ceilingwalker]

Hello. Does anyone know if A-B makes a CompactLogix processor that is EtherCAT compatible? I searched and found nothing which leads me to believe the answer is no but I knew you guys would know. Thank you.

Not that I have ever heard of. Your best bet is probably something like this:

ABB is focused on ethercat for the motion platform

Omron use heaps of EtherCAT for motion - just waiting till it is available for general remote I/O - if it is not here already. Been too busy to check!
