The evaluation kit serves as platform for the development of EtherCAT slaves. The piggyback controller board supplied with the kit realizes the complete EtherCAT connection with the ASIC ET1100. All digital I/O, SPI and asynchronous μController process data interfaces (PDIs) are connected to pin strips and can be selected via PDI selector switch. The SPI interface can optionally be connected with a PIC microcontroller included with the kit or directly to the pin strip. A programming and debugging interface for the controller is also provided. The EL9820 can therefore also be used as platform for the ET9300 EtherCAT Slave Stack Code provided with the evaluation kits.
