EtherCAT Slave Subsystem for Altera FPGA

Softing Industrial

Select

The EtherCAT Slave Subsystem for Altera FPGA offers an EtherCAT IP Core and a communication processor for the Integration of EtherCAT into field devices.

Adaptation to the application requirements is made easy by extensive configuration options. Softing‘s consulting, integration, and pre-certification services allow for risk-free implementation. A large choice of supported FPGA families and sizes helps focus on the application rather than the communication.

The EtherCAT Slave IP core with cut-through forwarding and media redundancy reaches cycle times down to 50 µs.

Key Features

  • No porting of the EtherCAT protocol software required
  • EtherCAT Slave IP core with cut-through forwarding
  • DMA transfer of i/o data
  • Media Redundancy
  • Cycle times down to 50 μs
  • Simple addition of further protocols due to unified API
