Arduino EasyCAT

The Shield EasyCAT allows an Arduino board to become an EtherCAT® Slave. The union of the world Arduino and the world EtherCAT® will allow you to create innumerable devices for the automation in a simple, rapid and economic way.

Some of the possible applications are:

  • I/O devices both analogical and digital with possibility of pre-elaboration and elaboration of the signals as averages, linearizations, filters, etc …
  • Generators of PWM signals to pilot motor and other
  • Serial gateways RS-232, RS-485, CAN, Modbus TCP/IP, ecc …from and toward EtherCAT®
  • Display TFT Touch EtherCAT®

The Shield EasyCAT allows to exchange on the bus EtherCAT® 32 byte in input and 32 byte in output. The communication is totally managed in Hardware and the exchange of data with the sketch Arduino is made through a library furnished with the EasyCAT together with the file XML EtherCAT® Configuration File (ESI).
