Tailor-made EtherCAT Slaves

Customer specific slave architecture (CSSA)

The newly designed Customer Specific Slave Architecture (CSSA) provides a cost-effective, tailor-made linkage of vendor's components and sensors to the EtherCAT fieldbus. This provides the opportunity to realize highly flexible EtherCAT sensor modules depending on customers wish. Furthermore, the architecture allows easily connections to other bus systems. No additional bus couplers are needed and a significant price advantage compared to standard components is achieved for a relatively low production quantity.

Communication Interfaces of CSSA:

  • SPI
  • ADC
  • PWM
  • I2C
  • UART
  • USB
  • Ethernet
  • PIO
