Intelligent EtherCAT® Master Interface for PC
The ECM-PCIe/8300 is a PC board designed for PCI Express
slots. It features an on board running EtherCAT® master (ECM) in a real- time
environment. Two RJ45 sockets are available to connect EtherCAT® slave
segments. These two interfaces can be used to either control two independent EtherCAT®
slave segments without support for EtherCAT® cable redundancy or to control a
single EtherCAT® slave segment with support for EtherCAT® cable redundancy. In
combination with an optional 1 GE switch with VLAN support, the control of even
more individual slave segments is supported.
Applications
The board turns any PC into an EtherCAT® master where
initialization and control of the EtherCAT® segments are completely handled in
the real-time environment of the master interface. Time and performance
critical tasks are executed in a deterministic way without any influence of the
PC's hardware, operating system, device driver, etc. The PC's network interface
remains available for e.g. standard TCP/IP communication.
Configuration and Protocols
Network configuration is either based on standard EtherCAT®
Network Information (ENI) files according to ETG.2100 specification or can be
completely performed with API calls.
Software Support
Software Support
Device drivers for data exchange with an application for
Linux and Windows are available. Drivers for other operating systems are
available on request. For application development, esd offers a master API
library with sample code and our EtherCAT® configuration and diagnostic tool 'EtherCAT®
Workbench'.
