[edit] Copyright of EtherCAT Material on Wikipedia
The material initially provided about EtherCAT is copyrighted by the EtherCAT Technology Group and/or the company Beckhoff Automation GmbH. The re-use of this material in Wikipedia was permitted expressly by both organizations in an email by the Executive Director of the EtherCAT Technology Group and Head of Technology Marketing of Beckhoff directed to permissions(at)wikimedia(dot)org. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fieldbusguy (talk • contribs) 11:48, 20 October 2006..
- Fieldbusguy, I have not seen the e-mail, but you'll want to ensure the permission is not just confined to use by Wikipedia, since Wikipedia in turn makes all of its articles available for reuse and modification by others. As a result, Wikipedia requires that such permission apply to everyone not just Wikipedia in accordance with its legal terms. (Caveat: that's my layman's possibly incorrect, summary interpretation -- refer to the links on the article's copyright violation notice for the actual legal terms). --A.

- A.B., you are right - you did not see the e-mail, which contains this: "... and permit the re-use of this material under the GNU Free Documentation License". I hope one does not have to employ a lawyer to contribute to Wikipedia. Fieldbusguy 20:54, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

- No you don't need a lawyer! (You just can't keep any strings attached to edits or uploaded files.) --A. B. 20:57, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notability and reference tags
I added notability and reference tags. It appears that EtherCAT is probably notable, however, this must be documented using English-language references that meet the Wikipedia:Reliable sources guideline. Once that's done, delete the tags. --A. B. 17:02, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
EtherCAT is notable, however this page is currently an advertisement.
[edit] Speed and availability
I am working with drive application since almost 30 years, and I can not imagine, how the drive controller for 100 drives which is able to update all drives in 100 microseconds looks like. Please give more precise information. Ethercat is not the fastets Industrial Ethernet Solution, as Ethernet Powerlink announced to use Gigabit Ethernet in the future. It is not possible, that Ethercat is used in series production since 2003, because I was not able to get some components from different suppliers like Beckhoff, Kübler, Fraba Posital and so on until today. Where should other companies have bought their components for series production three years ago. DriveExpert 18:20, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Background/Context
This article has a lot of information, but lacks context. When and where was this system first developed? by who? Who uses this system? Clerks 15:34, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
