Industrial Ethernet Module for EtherCAT

Flexible and cost-effective solution for the integration of EtherCAT

Highlights
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.

Description of functions
The basic functions of the Industrial Ethernet Module are described on the page "Industrial Ethernet Module".

The Industrial Ethernet Module for EtherCAT provides customers with a complete slave controller for integration into their own device. The following functions are supported in accordance with the EtherCAT standard:
 

• Full slave device (data link layer) with two active Ethernet interfaces
• Enhanced slave device (application layer) with object directory dynamically extendable via the host interface and dynamic PDO mapping
• Display of RUN and ERR

The exchange of IO data of the host application with the Industrial Ethernet Module for EtherCAT is performed separately for input and output data via a configurable memory image in the DPRAM of the module.

The technical details and functions of the Industrial Ethernet Module for EtherCAT (Slave Controller) may change.
