This reference design demonstrates how to connect a C2000 Delfino MCU to an EtherCAT™ ET1100 slave controller. The interface supports both demultiplexed address/data busses for maximum bandwidth and minimum latency and a SPI mode for low pin-count EtherCAT communication. The slave controller offloads the processing of 100Mbps Ethernet-based fieldbus communication, thereby eliminating CPU overhead for these tasks.
A fully assembled board has been developed for testing and performance validation only, and is not available for sale.
