ET9200 | EtherCAT Master Sample Code

The EtherCAT Master Sample Code is a user mode Windows application that demonstrates implementation of the EtherCAT master. The TR8200 workshop for EtherCAT master developers is based on the ET9200.

Features

• boot-up and configuration
• sending and receiving of “raw” EtherCAT frames to/from a network adapter
• management of EtherCAT slave states
• reading of XML configuration descriptions
• sending of the initialization commands that are defined for the different state changes to the slave device
• mailbox communication
  • CoE (CAN Application Protocol over EtherCAT)
  • SoE (Servodrive Profile over EtherCAT)
  • EoE (Ethernet over EtherCAT)
  • FoE (File Access over EtherCAT)
  • AoE (ADS over EtherCAT)
• integrated virtual switch functionality
• cyclical process data communication
• distributed clocks state machine

The software is sent as source code and can be adapted to the hardware environment (Ethernet controller) and integrated in a real-time environment.
