koenig-pa GmbH offers EtherCAT slaves modules to integrate EtherCAT network with other network(s). Depending on the physical interface KPA EtherCAT board is attached to or installed in a Control PC. Therefore the Control PC with its network is represented to an EtherCAT master as a regular slave device.
KPA PC104 Interface Boards (EtherCAT slave with PC104 interface) integrate a PC 104 system into an EtherCAT network.
Hardware
- ET 1100 ASIC, no CPU for closer synchronization
- Polling and IRQ-handling
- 8 kByte PDO, 8 FMMUs, 8 Sync Managers
- DMA – support
- Transfer rate of 2 MByte/s using DMA and IRQ
- Software-configurable I/O address
- Two address switches for position independent addressing
KPA EtherCAT Slave Stack
- Support of multiple boards within one system
- Various Operating Systems (OS):
INtime, Linux, RTX, QNX, Windows-CE, -7, xPC Target - Several mailbox protocols CoE, EoE, FoE, SoE, VoE
