Not cheap, but if you are putting them on a production machine... that has to run everyday and makes $$, then these are really inexpensive.

I think these are about half of what Automation Direct is selling non-networked drives.

That looks like well over a kilobuck just to wave some masking tape
around. Except for spindle's, and Z on the g0704, I only have about $90
to $125 in any other axis beyond the bobs.  And they've carved up some
pretty nice stuff.

I use the suggestion and indication from linuxcnc forum:

https://forum.linuxcnc.org/24-hal-components/22346-ethercat-hal-dri
ver

about SOEM, The basic implement is not realtime .... so is ok for
user command, not so for drive command. Any how my decision is not
utilize ethernet bus for drive position/velocity/torque command.
Mesa analogue signal and feedback encoder on mesa card are too easy
and precise signals to use to go for alternative methods that
usually do not give such good performances. Keep in mind that
realtime on ethercat is not a universal value ... commercially
there are devices that go under 1 ms but others that arrive up to
10-20ms .... for example kunbus has made devices on pi3 with
ethercat and more, but with a realtime of 5ms.

I have made the opinion that bus-rt on ethernet are very nice, but
they will really be useful only in some have. in the meantime it is
best to play on to be ready and wait. If you would use it for data
comm between some device or for connect some device without problem
of 5-10ms response time all work fine. I could not recommend any
ethercat for professional use as a result of my experiences. But
I'm sure many others have taken advantage of it.

Last but no least, there is also the security issue. Here in Europe
ethernet-ip and secure signals do not agree much for example. In
addition, many drive manufacturers do not have safety over ethercat
even if they have the bus.

I just started to look a day or two ago, which Ethercat
implementation?
