General information on the EtherCAT fieldbus protocol
1.2.1
Key elements of the fieldbus protocol
Participant features
When you place a new EtherCAT participant, i.e. an EtherCAT
device, into operation for the first time, you must inform the
configuration and programming software about certain prop-
erties of the participant. The properties of the various parti-
cipants are managed in a configuration file - the EtherCAT
slave information file (ESI file).
The file/its contents are available in Extensible Markup Lan-
guage (XML).
Communication protocol
The EtherCAT protocol enhances the Ethernet standard by
adding real-time capability.
In the EtherCAT protocol, data are transported within a stand-
ard Ethernet frame. When the standard Ethernet frame is
sent, the EtherCAT slaves only remove the data that are inten-
ded for them as the telegram passes through the device, and
add input data to the telegram at the same time. For this,
each slave requires two EtherCAT interfaces (one for trans-
mission and one for reception).
The CTEU-EC bus node supports the CANopen over EtherCAT
(CoE) and File Access over EtherCAT (FoE) protocols.
Participant addressing
In an EtherCAT network, the slaves are automatically as-
signed addresses. If desired the bus node can be assigned an
EtherCAT address using the DIL switches.
