EtherCAT Slave Implementation Guideline

This document describes the first steps with EtherCAT when starting an EtherCAT slave implementation.

The guideline consists of two parts:
  • Section I deals with principal aspects of an EtherCAT slave implementation. Chapter 1 provides a brief EtherCAT technology background focusing the slave. In chapter 2 the implementation steps for a slave device are described, containing slave implementation criteria and a list of useful tools. Exemplary implementation notes are given here, too. Chapter 3 describes support which is provided by the EtherCAT Technology Group.
  • Section II contains device specific descriptions for further implementation aspects. An overview to available evaluation boards is given in chapter 1. Following is a list of available EtherCAT Communication Modules in chapter 2, and Slave Controllers (ESCs) in chapter 3.
