Using ProfiShark for EtherCAT Master Performance Testing

Using ProfiShark for EtherCAT Master Performance Testing

01 EtherCAT Master Performance Testing Generally, EtherCAT master performance testing focuses on the communication cycle of the master, whether the cycle time is stable, and how much jitter there is. Therefore, tests can be set under different cycle times, such as 2ms, 1ms, 500us, 250us, 125us, etc. to test the jitter. Third-party packet capture tools, … Read more
