acontis - EC-Master - EtherCAT Master Stack

Software Architecture

• Application Interface Layer: Programming the EtherCAT master core in C/C++, C# and Python.
• EtherCAT Master Core: The main EtherCAT master functionality in the core layer. All protocol handling, e.g. process data transfer and mailbox protocols (CoE, EoE, FoE, SoE) are executed here.
• EC-Link Layer: Data exchange between master and slaves. Zero-copy and/or polling techniques together with the core layer are supported to achieve best real-time performance and minimize CPU load.
• Configuration Layer: The integrated XML parser supports the EtherCAT Network Information (ENI) file defined in the EtherCAT specification.
• Operating System Layer: The only OS specific layer. All operating system calls are executed here. To achieve best performance the most functions can be implemented using simple "C"-language macros.
