Industrial Ethernet Module for EtherCAT

The Industrial Ethernet Module for EtherCAT provides the customer with a complete slave controller in accordance with the EtherCAT standard. The area of application is wherever intelligent devices such as drives, frequency converters, IO-modules, valves and other components of automation technology are to be equipped with EtherCAT and for which flexibility and extendibility in conjunction with transparent costs are important. For attachment to the host CPU a serial interface and a shared memory interface are available. The memory, necessary for the data exchange, is integrated on the Industrial Ethernet Module for EtherCAT.

EtherCAT Master Stack

In cooperation with acontis technologies GmbH IXXAT offers an EtherCAT Master stack to fast and easily implement EtherCAT based controllers.

The EtherCAT Master stack is optimized to run on various embedded operating systems and it has a very modular structure. The open interfaces of the modules enable the user to exchange or make adaptions depending on the application requirements.

Implementations are available for Windows CE, VxWorks, On Time RTOS-32, QNX Neutrino RTOS and IntervalZero RTX. For Windows XP and Linux a version is also available (non-real-time capable).
