EtherCAT Slave Interface for PMC
• Add EtherCAT Slave (ECS) functionality to your PMC 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 with the esd EtherCAT Master or other EtherCAT Masters
• Example of an EtherCAT Slave Information File (ESI file in XML format) included
• esd EtherCAT Slave API library and sample code for a quick start into application
development are included in delivery
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.
