TR8110 | EtherCAT technology basics

The seminar is aimed at developers as recommendable preparation before attending one of the workshops TR8100 or TR8200.
In this seminar basic EtherCAT knowledge is conveyed. The seminar is held in German or English by developers in manageable groups so that individual interests can be addressed. Since the number of participants is limited, we recommend registering early.
