EtherCAT® Master Stack for embedded (real-time) OS
Designed with respect to high performance, small resource
usage and scalability, the EtherCAT® Master Stack has core components that are
operating system (OS) and CPU architecture independent. The stack is available
for various operating systems. With its minimal OS layer and well-defined
interface to the Network adapter (NIC), the code ports easily to other
operating systems or can even run without OS support.
-
Configuration and management of EtherCAT® networks.
-
Cyclic exchange of process data.
-
Support for event based mailbox communication with the
protocols:
-
CANopen
over EtherCAT® (CoE)
-
Ethernet
over EtherCAT® (EoE)
-
File over
EtherCAT® (FoE)
-
Easy to use API common to all implementations as an
interface between the application and the EtherCAT® master stack.
-
The master can either be configured via the standardized XML
based EtherCAT® configuration file (OS independent XLM parser included) or via
the API if the OS doesn’t support a file system.
-
Supports EtherCAT® via UDP communication.
-
Allows application defined asynchronous communication in
parallel to the cyclic data exchange e.g. to read an EtherCAT® slave EEPROM.
-
Built-in network and protocol diagnostic functions.
-
Several master instances can use different NICs to address
independent EtherCAT® segments.
-
Several master instances can use the same NIC to address
independent EtherCAT® segments (via Ethernet switch with VLAN tag support).
