EtherCAT P integrates the EtherCAT Ethernet communications protocol and peripheral voltage into one four-wire Ethernet cable. It integrates the 24 VDC supply of EtherCAT P slaves with signals and data from connected sensors and actuators, and electrically isolates the US (system and sensor supply) and UP (peripheral voltage for actuators) from each other, each with up to 3 A current.
