EMM *EtherCAT Master Module

FPGA-based KSJ Master Communication Module

  • High-performance embedded master module with original FPGA-based master stack
  • Supported functions: ETG1500 ClassB compliant + FoE, etc.
  • High-speed cyclic communication of less than 50 µsec and frame delivery jitter of less than 50 nsec can be realized.
  • User application can run on the customer's CPU
  • API and sample source code for user apps running on FreeRTOS can be provided (CiA402 profile supported).
  • Master configuration tool can also be provided for use during development.
  • Communication evaluation board EVAL-CB is also provided.

Overview

The EMM is a self-developed module with our original master stack.
The EtherCAT master can be implemented by combining the EtherCAT master stack running on EMM with user applications running on the CPU on the customer's board.
Various APIs and sample source codes running on FreeRTOS are available for real-time system construction.
Various EtherCAT profiles (CiA402 and Semi) can be supported.
The master stack satisfies all Class B functions, and supports the more demanding Class A functions such as FoE.

Data transfer to and from the customer environment

The Master Stack is designed to send and receive various types of data via EtherCAT communication to and from the customer's system through the DPRAM installed in the EMM.
The DPRAM of the FPGA in the evaluation board (EVAL-CB) can be used for communication evaluation.
