ECS-PCIe/1100

The ECS-PCIe/1100 integrates any PC into an EtherCAT network and makes it an EtherCAT slave node.

• PCI Express® (PCIe) port designed according to PCIe specification R1.0a
• ESC address space is directly mapped to the PCIe address space to minimize overhead / latency
• Multiple boards per PC supported

Utilizes the ET1100 EtherCAT slave controller (ESC) ASIC:

• Supports virtually all current EtherCAT features (depends on slave stack / platform etc.)
• 8 sync managers (SM) / 8 fieldbus memory management units (FMMU)
• 8 kbyte process data memory
• Distributed clocks (DC) support (full 64 bit)
• Supports polling and interrupts

Hardware:

• EtherCAT ports: 2x RJ45, 100BASE-TX according to IEEE 802.3, electrically isolated
• LEDs: Error, Run, Link/Activity
• PCIe link width: 1x

esd EtherCAT Slave Stack included (object versions for Windows/Linux):

• Identical API on all platforms for easy and fast slave application development
• Supports several mailbox protocols, DC, multiple slave controllers and much more, see here
• Optionally available as cross platform source code for (embedded) targets, which makes the ECS-PCIe/1100 the ideal platform to start slave application development
• Application samples and ESI file for ECS-PCIe/1100 included
