ECS-XMC/FPGA XMC EtherCAT® Slave Interface Convert your XMC System into an EtherCAT Slave Device • Add EtherCAT Slave (ECS) functionality to your XMC equipped base board • The EtherCAT Slave Controller address space is directly mapped to the PCI Express® address space. The XMC system can act as an I/O node. An EtherCAT master can use several EtherCAT protocols like CoE, FoE and EoE to communicate with this EtherCAT slave device. Simple Configuration and Rapid Application Development • Easy Configuration by esd's EtherCAT Master or other masters • Sample EtherCAT Slave Information File (ESI file in XML format) is provided • esd's EtherCAT Slave API library and sample code for rapid application development are included SYNC/Latch I/Os and Share I/Os Via connector XMC-P16 equipped on the ECS-XMC/FPGA 20 3.3 V LVTTL I/Os are available, including the signals from the EtherCAT Slave Controller: 2x Sync and 2x Latch. On request the 20 XMC I/Os can be configured as 10 I/Os with 2.5 V level LVDS. EtherCAT Slave Interface for XMC The ECS-XMC/FPGA is an EtherCAT Slave Controller board in a VITA 42.3 (XMC) form factor. It utilizes a Beckhoff IP-core which is implemented in an Altera® FPGA and configured for 8 FMMUs, 8 Sync Managers, 60 kB DPRAM and 64 bit Distributed Clocks. Other configurations are available on request. The FPGA connects between the PCI Express bus on the XMC P15 connector and the two Ethernet interfaces on the front panel. The additional EtherCAT signals SYNC and Latch are available on the secondary XMC connector P16, soldering pads or optionally on the PMC I/O connector P14. 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 Software Support Device drivers for Windows® and Linux® with documentation and EtherCAT slave examples are included in the scope of delivery. Drivers for other operating systems, especially real-time operating systems, are available on request. Related Products The EtherCAT Slave card is also available with PMC interface (ECS-PMC/FPGA; order no. E.1104.02) or with PCI Express® interface (ECS-PCIe/FPGA; order no. E.1106.02). The PCIe card is also available as low profile version (ECSPCIe/FPGA-LP; order no. E.1106.04). Versatile Application Because of this simple hardware topology and the use of a “soft” controller the design offers a maximum of flexibility. PCIe (This product is under development.
