EtherCAT Slave (EasyCAT) component
Provides support for the EtherCAT Slave industrial protocol using an EasyCAT Arduino shield. The shield can be driven from a Flowcode compatible Arduino type board or can be driven using an Arduino using the SCADA Slave firmware to drive EtherCAT from the Flowcode simulation runtime. Compatible with the EasyCAT Easy Configurator tool.

Properties |
|
Synchronisation Mode |
| ASYNC = free running i.e. no synchronization between master and slave (default) DC_SYNC = interrupt is generated from the distributed clock unit SM_SYNC = interrupt is generated from the syncronisation manager | |
|
Header File |
| Used to load a header file from Easy CAT Configurator tool to describe the units inputs and outputs | |
|
Total Byte Num Out |
| Total number of bytes to come out from the EtherCAT master | |
|
|
Total Byte Num In |
| Total bytes to come in from the EtherCAT master | |
|

|
|
MISO |
| SPI Data In Pin SDI - Also Known as Master In Slave Out (MISO) when used in Master mode. | |
|
|
CLK |
| SPI Clock Pin CLK - The Clock signal is driven by the SPI master. | |
|
|
CS / SS |
| Chip Select / Slave Select Pin Master Mode: General purpose output pin used to select the remote SPI device. Slave Mode: Hardware chip select pin input used to select the SPI device. | |
