    Echo,

    I am not sure what exactly means ' servo communication'. We only provide EtherCAT communication as the base for any EtherCAT slave application. This maybe a servo, drive, sensor or whatever. We assume this to be the application level which customers implement on their own. In the future we plan to provide more complete 'connected drive' examples e.g. using CiA402 profile. But again we assume customers to adapt that to their needs in order to get to a differentiated end product.

    If you have specific questions we will try to help.

    Regards.
