EC-Master EtherCAT Master Stack Software

EtherCAT Master Stack

The EC-Master Stack is designed and optimized to run on different embedded (real time) operating systems. Already existing implementations are available e.g. for Windows CE, VxWorks, On Time RTOS-32, QNX, RTX, INtime®, Integrity, Linux, TKernel and Windows® XP/7. For evaluation purposes a Windows XP non-real-time solution exists: any network adapter card may be used to connect a PC with EtherCAT modules. The EtherCAT master stack can be ported on any other embedded operating systems.

Advantages:

	Ready-to-run for many operating systems and for the Windows real-time extensions.
	Easy to port on other embedded operating systems.
	Modular design, individual adjustments are easy to implement.
	Together with our services you get professional partnership setting up your custom control system. On request you may get the complete system integration.
	Reliable and robust implementation. For example, the EC-Master Stack is running in the KUKA Robot Control and in the Lenze-Digitec control systems.
