- How to begin an EtherCAT development – some key points
As straight-forward the functional principle of EtherCAT is, the many implementation options, communication devices (ASICS, SoCs, and more), documentation, and developer events are available. This slide set shows key decisions and development steps, and in which order those may be tackled: It includes basic EtherCAT theory training, parameter selection to choose an EtherCAT Slave Controller, possible EtherCAT Slave software stacks, organizing the parameter and process data, in-house testing, available test tools, official testing at an EtherCAT Test Center, and more developer events. - Navigate EtherCAT information
There are plenty of EtherCAT documents, specifications, and web page information available. In this slide set we show which information is available. How to read the EtherCAT specification ETG.1000/ IEC.61185, how to use ETG.2000 EtherCAT Slave Information, how to make use of the EtherCAT Knowledge Base, practical references to design a CoE object dictionary, which valuable and popular events are offered, and how to make contact with the ETG EtherCAT experts worldwide. - Structuring CoE object dictionary using profiles: MDP, DS402, Semi Device Profile
The CoE object dictionary lists all parameters and variables of a SubDevice, and is the interface to the sensor or actuator functionality. Depending on which type of device is developed, different CoE OD structurings, so called device profiles, are beneficial. Those reach from a basic framework (MDP) defining a handful of categories, to a very detailed parameter definitions for drives (DS402), valves (Semi Device Profile), gateways, and others. Profiles are a very helpful concept for both, developers and device users, and this is why they have become very popular on both sides. This is to an extend where basically any EtherCAT device makes use of device profile benefits. And this slideset explains the concepts and advantages. Device profile are well combined with the ESI concepts of Modules and Slots—which are explained in the slideset. - Using Modules/Slots in ESI and online CoE object dictionary
The ESI elements Modules and Slots allow to generate a flexible EtherCAT SubDevice description, e.g., for modular servo drives and gateways. This slideset shows how to make correct use of the ESI elements and which online CoE objects are used for Modules/Slots functionality - Conformance Test Tool (CTT) – basic features (and how to use it for EtherCAT SubDevice development)
This slideset aims to present the basics around the EtherCAT Conformance Test Tool (CTT) and how to use it for EtherCAT SubDevice development. In this presentation we will cover the many helpful functionalities and plugins of the tool, EtherCAT protocol testing as well as long-term testing of different EtherCAT SubDevice configurations, error detection mechanisms, and analysis of the test results. - Conformance Test Tool (CTT) – advanced features (incl. remote control interface, configuration, and more)
This slideset shows advanced CTT configuration and testing of complex EtherCAT SubDevices. We will also explain how automated testing via the CTT remote control interface can be done. The scripting via PowerShell allows to start the CTT remotely, load different configurations, execute tests, and save results for internal test documentations. - Official EtherCAT Conformance Test - part I: Certificate benefits and organisational steps
The official EtherCAT Conformance Test at an EtherCAT Test Center (ETC) has many advantages and is highly recommended, even though it is optional. This slideset explains the importance of EtherCAT Conformance Tested certificates for machine builders and device vendors. It shows the process to obtain a certificate and gives practical hints and tips for successful conformance testing of EtherCAT SubDevices. - Official EtherCAT Conformance Test - part II: Test record hands-on
The tests performed by each EtherCAT Test Center (ETC) worldwide are specified in detail in ETG. 7000.2 Test Record. The test instructions include the use of the CTT and also tests that are performed manually. This slideset will take you through many of the manual test instructions and show you how to perform these tests in the same way as they are performed by the ETC test engineers - to best prepare your EtherCAT SubDevice to pass the ETC test first time and to meet high quality standards. - EtherCAT analysis with Wireshark
As complement to the standard diagnostic features provided by EtherCAT both at hardware and software level, the Wireshark tool is frequently used to analyze the EtherCAT communication and troubleshoot complex issues at low level. Wireshark includes by default a packet dissector enabling to display and filter individual fields of EtherCAT datagrams. This slideset intends to show, through a series of practical examples, how different features of Wireshark can be used in order to approach different concrete scenarios in the analysis of EtherCAT communication.
