EtherCAT Slave Interface for PCI Express
• Extend your PCI Express system with EtherCAT Slave (ECS) functions.
• The memory area of the EtherCAT slave controller is directly mapped in the PCI Express
address space.

Easy Configuration and fast Application Development
• Easy configuration with the esd EtherCAT Master or other EtherCAT Masters
• Example of an EtherCAT Slave Information File (ESI file in XML format) included
• esd EtherCAT Slave API library and sample code for a quick start into application
development are included in delivery

Bus Master Support
• The FPGA supports bus master DMA to relieve the CPU from copying the process image
output data into the host memory. This function is used by the esd EtherCAT slave
stack.

Customization on Request
• 20 of the 36 LVTTL I/Os can be configured as 10 I/Os with 2.5 V-level LVDS
• Further customized options available on request
