icECAT EtherCAT Configuration Library
- Library for the generation of an ENI EtherCAT network configuration
- ... for integration in a MainDevice for auto-configuration
- ... for integration in a custom engineering tool with remote connection for online configuration
- ... optionally with a GUI (Qt) or a web server (Node.js)
.
icECAT EtherCAT Network Simulator
- Software-in-the-loop simulation (SiL) of an EtherCAT network (SubDevices) helpful for the development and testing of an EtherCAT MainDevice control application
- Simulated network is configured by an ENI file
- API for simulation of process data (PDOs) and the CoE communication
- Realized as link layer driver which adapts to the icECAT EtherCAT Master Stack
.
