PCI EtherCAT slave card FC1100

The FC1100 PCI EtherCAT card can be used to integrate a PC as a slave in an EtherCAT network. The card has an EtherCAT channel with two ports (IN/OUT) and is also supported in the ET9300 EtherCAT Slave Stack Code. The FC1100 can therefore also be used for the development of EtherCAT slave software on the PC.
