Xilinx, Inc. announced the implementation of a scalable EtherCAT slave controller functionality in an intellectual property (IP) core for its Spartan™ series of FPGAs. The code was developed and is supported by Beckhoff Automation GmbH, a Xilinx Alliance Program partner.
EtherCAT is an innovative high-performance industrial Ethernet solution backed by a large worldwide vendor and user community. The implementation of the EtherCAT slave controller in Xilinx FPGAs enables superior and efficient management of system cost and product lifecycles, enabling system vendors to explore new market opportunities ahead of their competitors.
EtherCAT (Ethernet Control Automation Technology) is the industrial Ethernet solution that provides performance, flexibility and cost advantages. The functional principle, processing on the fly, makes EtherCAT the fastest system currently available. EtherCAT media is well suited for control environments since it can be operated with or without switches. EtherCAT is an open standard that has been published as IEC specification based on input from the EtherCAT Technology Group.
