Description

Introducing “EEM” EtherCAT Master / Main Device uniquely created for Embedded applications.  Offered as a master stack and software development kit (SDK), tailored for embedded applications. Whether it’s industrial automation, robotics, or general real-time control, EEM empowers your system and products with performance, flexibility, and reliability.

  • Trusted by leading OEMs worldwide since 2018
  • Optimized for motion applications, delivering highly deterministic / low jitter performance
  • Supported OS: Windows, INtime, FreeRTOS, Linux, QNX, VxWorks, ITRON
  • Target Processors: x86/64, ARM, PowerPC, Renesas, Nvidia Jetson AGX Orin and AMD ZYNQ SoC
  • Modular architecture for easy adaptation to diverse OS/RTOS and hardware platforms
  • Lightweight C-based API for streamlined application development
  • Includes EtherCAT configuration tool companion (Windows app)
  • Optional drivers for Soft PLC (IEC-61131 based)
  • Licensing options for SDK and source-code form

List of Features:

  • Conforms to ETG.1500 specifications.
  • Seamless configuration via EtherCAT Network Information “ENI” (ETG.2100).
  • High-performance Ethernet MAC drivers ensure minimal jitter.
  • Supports synchronization with Distributed Clocks (DC) and multiple master synchronization modes.
  • Built-in error detection and diagnostics.
  • Access to sub-device EEPROM, ESC registers and memory space

Supporting Mailbox Protocols:

  • “CoE” CANopen over EtherCAT: SDO upload/download, info services, emergency request.
  • “FoE” File over EtherCAT: Efficient firmware updates and file transfers.
  • “EoE” Ethernet over EtherCAT: Allowing Ethernet traffic over EtherCAT using Mailbox EoE frames.

Feature Packs

  • Hot Connect: Add or remove devices on-the-fly without disrupting operations
  • Cable Redundancy: Ensure uninterrupted operations with robust failover mechanisms
  • FPGA Integration: Leverage AMD/Xilinx ZYNQ SoC for enhanced precision
  • SoftPLC Integration: Drivers for GEB SoftPLC for IEC-61131 control applications
  • Multi–master: Allowing multiple instances of Main Device on one or multiple cores

Supplemental Tools

  • Windows-based configuration tool available in binary and source code form
  • Open text interface for easy integration with third-party software
  • SoftPLC drivers and sample applications for GEB Automation SoftPLC IDE
