As announced at Hannover Messe2016 the EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG) has now published a first draft of the official EtherCAT P technology specification together with the extension of all corresponding documents on its website. Additionally, there has been finalized an application note as guideline for the implementation of EtherCAT P slaves.

正如2016年漢諾威展會上所公布的，EtherCAT技術(shù)協(xié)會（ETG）現(xiàn)已正式發(fā)布官方EtherCAT P技術(shù)規(guī)范第一稿，并在ETG官網(wǎng)上發(fā)布了所有相關(guān)擴(kuò)展文件。此外，ETG還完成了一份應(yīng)用手冊，將其作為EtherCAT P從站的實(shí)施指南。

Soon after the introduction of EtherCAT P by Beckhoff Automation the technology extension to EtherCAT has been included into the work of the EtherCAT Technology Group. Ever since the official specification document has been in progress and the first draft now has been published. The document ‘ETG.1030 EtherCAT P Specification’ defines the basics of EtherCAT P as extension of the physical layer of the EtherCAT technology. As such, of course, all other EtherCAT standard documents in which EtherCAT P will be integrated have been extended, too.

在德國倍福公司推出EtherCAT P之后不久，EtherCAT技術(shù)協(xié)會就開始了包括EtherCAT在內(nèi)的技術(shù)擴(kuò)展工作。官方規(guī)范文檔還正在進(jìn)行中，現(xiàn)已發(fā)布第一稿規(guī)范文件。文件“‘ETG.1030 EtherCAT P規(guī)范”將EtherCAT P的基礎(chǔ)定義為EtherCAT技術(shù)物理層的擴(kuò)展。

因此，所有其他集成了EtherCAT P的EtherCAT標(biāo)準(zhǔn)文檔也已經(jīng)進(jìn)行了相應(yīng)的擴(kuò)展。

To enable developers of EtherCAT P devices to start their implementation just now Beckhoff has published a so called EtherCAT P application note – a guideline for implementing EtherCAT P slaves. This application note includes the according extension of the EtherCAT implementation including connectors, electrical specification as well as recommendations for EMC-compliant design. In addition to that, the application note informs about different design requirements especially with regards to the usage and connection of supply voltages and describes the calculation basis of currents and voltages in the network.

為使EtherCAT P的設(shè)備研發(fā)者能夠盡快開始實(shí)施，德國倍福公司發(fā)布了一個EtherCAT P應(yīng)用手冊作為EtherCAT P從站實(shí)施指南。該應(yīng)用手冊包含了EtherCAT實(shí)施的相關(guān)擴(kuò)展，包括連接器、電氣規(guī)范，以及EMC兼容設(shè)計(jì)的建議。除此之外，應(yīng)用手冊還介紹了不同的設(shè)計(jì)要求，尤其是關(guān)于電源電壓的使用和連接，并描述了網(wǎng)絡(luò)中電流和電壓的計(jì)算依據(jù)。

When the ETG accepted EtherCAT P as addition to EtherCAT the first big users signalized their high interest into the technology extension. With the publication of the specification documents and the corresponding application note EtherCAT P can now be included into the development and the implementation of numerous new products has become a certainty.

ETG剛剛接受EtherCAT P作為EtherCAT技術(shù)的補(bǔ)充時(shí)，就有第一個大用戶表示了對技術(shù)擴(kuò)展的高度興趣。隨著規(guī)范文檔和相關(guān)應(yīng)用手冊的發(fā)布，EtherCAT P現(xiàn)在可以包含在許多新產(chǎn)品的開發(fā)和實(shí)施中是非常確定的了。

All documents mirror the actual status of the EtherCAT P technology definition and are available for download on the website of the EtherCAT Technology Group (www.ethercat.org)

所有文檔都標(biāo)明了EtherCAT P技術(shù)定義的實(shí)際狀態(tài)，用戶可以從EtherCAT技術(shù)協(xié)會官網(wǎng)（www.ethercat.org）進(jìn)行下載。
