- Use of EtherCAT technology at PXL TECH department.
- Use of Beckhoff modules
- Implementation of EtherCAT core on Xilinx FPGA
- Use of piggyback boards
6. Application: Fast Measurement
• Purpose: Measure drop speed of an object
– Ease of use
– Timestamp of the last edge change
– Resolution of 1ns independent of the cycle time
7. Application: EtherCAT Slaves
• Own EtherCAT slaves
– Based on EL9800 EtherCAT evaluation board
• EtherCAT ASIC ET1100
– EtherCAT FPGA core (Beckhoff)
