Features

Advantech's EtherCAT hardware master solutions can be divided into PCIE-1203,
PCIE-1203L and PCIE-1203IO with two EtherCAT ports acting as Motion and I/O
Master, respectively. Please refer to the comparison table below to get the function
difference:
PCIE-1203 (Full function, PCIE interface)
PCIE-1203L (Basic function, PCIE interface)
PCIE-1203IO (IO function only, PCIE interface)
Process of data exchange and memory location in EtherCAT communication can be
executed automatically by PCIE-1203 series. User can benefit from EtherCAT high
performance communication feature without handling complicated EtherCAT commu-
nication protocol.
