Supported sbRIO for EtherCAT

[msad66]

Hi,

I am starting to design a sbRIO system capable of EtherCAT Communication. 

This page https://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/374786m.html states that only these sbRIO devices support "NI-Industrial Communications for EtherCAT" module:

sbRIO-9607

sbRIO-9627

sbRIO-9651

I wanted to select sbRIO-9607 as a cost-effective solution, but this device is in a "mature" phase. Is there any alternative sbRIO that you could suggest as a cost-effective replacement for sbRIO-9607?

Thanks.

Hi

This is an old post and you've probably found a solution, but the info below may help someone else.

https://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/374786m.html has a list of EtherCAT 21.5 capable sbRIOs. These are:

9603

9608

9609

9628

It seens that the ones you mentioned are 20.5 capable.

Thanks
