Acontis EtherCAT Master Protocol Stack Reference Design

The Acontis EC-Master EtherCAT Master stack is a highly portable software stack that can be used on a variety of embedded platforms. EC-Master supports high-performance TI Sitara MPUs and provides an advanced EtherCAT Master solution that customers can use to implement EtherCAT communication interface boards, EtherCAT-based PLCs or motion control applications. The EC-Master architecture is designed so that users do not need to plan additional tasks, so the full stack functionality is available even on platforms without an operating system (such as TI Starterware supported on AM335x). This architecture combined with high-speed Ethernet drivers allows users to implement EtherCAT master on the Sitara platform with very short cycle times of 100 microseconds or less.
