EtherCAT Slave Interface for XMC
• Add EtherCAT Slave (ECS) functionality to your XMC equipped base board
• The EtherCAT Slave Controller address space is directly mapped to the PCI Express®
address space.
Simple Configuration and Rapid Application Development
• Easy Configuration by esd's EtherCAT Master or other masters
• Sample EtherCAT Slave Information File (ESI file in XML format) is provided
• esd's EtherCAT Slave API library and sample code for rapid application development are
included
Bus Master Support
• The FPGA contains Bus Master DMA Support to offload the CPU from copying the output
process image data into the host memory. This is utilized by the esd EtherCAT Slave
Stack.
