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.

EtherCAT EAP is an application layer protocol that runs on top of the EtherCAT network protocol.

The CANmod.router lets you receive/transmit CAN data (Classical or FD) from/to 4 isolated secondary CAN buses via 1 primary CAN bus (or USB).

The compact module is 100% standalone (no PC required) and offers pro specs, daisy chaining and powerful configuration options.

It can e.g. be used with the CANedge, enabling you to log 5 x CAN buses (or beyond via daisy chaining).

The device can also be used as a powerful 4 x CAN FD to USB interface with free software/API tools.

Tip: Add the DB25-to-4x-DB9 for quick installation.

The ISOBUS DBC file contains decoding rules for converting raw CAN bus data to 'physical values' (m/s, %, ...). This lets you easily decode data from agriculture vehicles like tractors.

DBC is a CAN database format used in most automotive tools - incl. our CAN software/APIs.

The download includes the ISOBUS DBC and Excel file based on the public ISO 11783-7 PGN/SPN data. The cost is a one-time fee.

See also our J1939 DBC and NMEA 2000 DBC, both of which can be relevant in agriculture vehicles.
