Establish a connection
To establish a cyclic connection you can use the Industrial Communication Explorer. Flash the device (see here), connect it to your computer and start the Industrial Communication Explorer.
| Note |
|---|
The content of the EEPROM of the SoM must match the appropriate application. Please refer to this page, to write the ESI to the EEPROM to ensure full EtherCAT functionality. |
Click right on your network interface and choose “Enable EtherCAT” as shown in the figure.
...
Click the button “Scan Network” to find the device.

This EtherCAT example demonstates a simple EtherCAT slave. By default no data mapper is used. It contains two five each 32 bit wide objects (0x2000, 0x2001, 0x200D, 0x200E, 0x200F) - 0x2000 and 0x2001 are mapped to each a receive and a transmit PDO. Additionally, the feature EtherCAT Distributed Clocks (DC) will be activated, if the platform supports it. The DC Sync signals increment two application variables triggered by an interrupt on the platform.
