EC-Master Tutorial: Getting Started with EC-Master On Windows

EC-Engineer Web is a powerful software tool used for configuration and diagnosis of EtherCAT® networks. The software is a client server application, with the modern dark mode client user interface (UI) an Angular-CLI project communicating through a REST-API with the backend (ASP.NET Core).
The Microsoft .NET Core platform is used for development and to run the software on several operating systems and architectures, e.g. Windows, macOS and Linux (x64, ARM32). EC-Engineer Web is using the multi-platform advantage that .NET Core offers for mobility and platform independence.

EC-Inspector is an easy to use software application for Windows for analyzing and monitoring EtherCAT networks. The program can be used independently of the master controller and works with EtherCAT masters from any manufacturer (Beckhoff, Omron, Bosch-Rexroth, Lenze, acontis, etc.).

EC-Inspector analyzes the complete data traffic between the master and the EtherCAT slaves via a TAP (Test Access Point) device inserted after the master. The TAP device enables both the outgoing frames (Master --> Slaves) and the incoming frames (Master <-- Slaves) to be recorded and evaluated.

Software library for monitoring (sniffing) of EtherCAT® networks

With the EC-Monitor software library it is possible to analyze and evaluate the data traffic of an EtherCAT network. The library records the EtherCAT frames and provides the decoded data to a customer application. The process data (inputs and outputs), the slave states, the slave error counters, and other important EtherCAT data are extracted from the EtherCAT frames.

The library can be used independently of the master controller and works with EtherCAT masters from many manufacturers (Beckhoff, Omron, Bosch-Rexroth, Lenze, ACS Motion Control, acontis, etc.). EC-Monitor analyzes the complete data traffic between the master and the EtherCAT slaves via a TAP (Test Access Point) device inserted after the master. The TAP device enables both the outgoing frames (Master → Slaves) and the incoming frames (Master ← Slaves) to be recorded and evaluated.

The EC-STA EtherCAT Slave Test Application is useful for manufacturers of EtherCAT slave devices to perform comprehensive tests based on the proven and widely used EC-Master stack. Typically, the EC-STA will be used while creating and testing EtherCAT slave software as well as for slave production tests. The core component of the EC-STA is a Windows application based on the Microsoft .NET technology and written in the C# programming language. As the complete source code is included, the user is able to add customer-specific functions very easily, for example running automatic, script based test sequences. The EC-STA offers a comfortable and clear user interface with many features and allows testing any existing EtherCAT slave device.

Important: To assure that a EtherCAT Slave Device is conforming to the EtherCAT Standard the EtherCAT Slave Conformance Tool has to be used.

The EtherCAT Automation Protocol (EAP) defines interfaces and services for an equal exchange of information between controllers (master/master communication) or for interfacing with a central master computer. The cyclic EAP communication can be handled directly in the user data of an Ethernet telegram, without the need for an additional transport or backup protocol. The EAP therefore enables very efficient data exchange without significant protocol overhead, with cycle times down to one millisecond or even faster. EAP is the preferred choice to implement a fast controller to controller communication. The protocol can used on any system equipped with a Standard Ethernet Controller. The lean protocol is suitable for high performance PCs as well as for low power ARM controllers.

The acontis RTOSVisor solution is Type 1 Real-time Hypervisor that is an optional and independent enhancement of acontis' Type 2 Real-time Hypervisor solutions for Windows (LxWin and VxWin). This solution enables customers to fulfill demands for more sophisticated use cases. It is a perfect fit for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices, Edge Controllers, high-end Real-time hardware, and workload consolidation.

VxWorks from Windriver is one of the leading real-time operating systems in the world. In many industrial solutions you will find a VxWorks system that handles the real-time tasks combined with a Windows-PC for visualization, database programming and/or ERP connection.

Available since 1995 VxWin provides the possibility to run VxWorks together with Windows on the same PC where it keeps its full real-time capabilities.
