Comparison of EtherCat and Profinet

EtherCAT and PROFINET are both real-time Ethernet-based fieldbuses that are used in industrial automation applications.

EtherCAT and PROFINET are both real-time Ethernet-based fieldbuses that are used in industrial automation applications. Both protocols have 100Mbps baud rate, and use Ethernet as the base layer in the communications stack, which has around 2000 bytes per transaction. EtherCAT is known for its high speed and low latency, which makes it ideal for applications that require fast data transfer rates and low jitter. It uses a master-slave architecture where the master device controls the communication between all slave devices. EtherCAT also supports distributed clocks which allows for precise synchronization of devices.
