1. EtherCAT Solution

img-0256-0.png

China’s first ASSP with independent intellectual property right with EtherCAT master function. It is fast, with excellent performance and easy to use. It can go through PCIE interface or parallel bus to support ARM MCU or x86 platform. Software’s reference code, API function, and software for XML document initialization system etc. could be provided.

 

Characteristics:

 

⦁    Supports the bare-metal programming for EtherCAT master on ARM processor; no operating system is required

⦁    Supports x86 processor and PCIe interface; reference code of Linux (with Xenomai real-time kernel) driver and application is provided

⦁    Small burden on CPU; real-time EtherCAT master communication could be quickly achieved, no matter with high-end or low-end processors

⦁    Strong synchronization between master and slave; the jitter of synchronization time is smaller than 1us (4-axis measurement 50ns)

⦁    Short cycle; a 31.25us communication cycle could be achieved easily (4-axis 62.5us cycle could be achieved)

⦁    Various salve stations could be connected and configured through XML document configuration system

2. Real-time Video Clarification
