Product overview

Figure 1 Overview about the EL9800

On this EtherCAT Evaluation Kit base board all supported Process Data Interfaces (PDI) of the EtherCAT
Slave-Controllers (ESCs) can be evaluated and used for prototypic implementations. All EtherCAT post­age stamps with the base name FB1XXX are compatible with this base board and can be used directly
without adaptation. Separate documentations for each EtherCAT piggy back controller board are availa­ble for download and can also be found on the EtherCAT Evaluation Kit CD.

Figure 1 gives an overview of the EL9800 base board that supports four physical, configurable Process
Data Interfaces. The following PDI variants area available

 SPI-Interface
 SPI-Interface with PIC
 32 Bit digital interface
 µ-Controller interface

As a user interface for changing the PDI to be used, a manual switch with eight different PDI configura­tions can be used.

For programming and debugging purposes different interfaces for FPGA-based EtherCAT piggy back
controller boards and the integrated PIC24, manufactured by Microchip, are integrated on the board. Fur­thermore an area for Sync/Latch configuration, monitoring and manipulation allows the user to interact
with the board. The integrated power supply is capable of powering extensive external hardware.
