1 Introduction of SMI

Ethernet for Control Automation Technology (EtherCAT®) is an Ethernet-based fieldbus system, invented by Beckhoff® Automation and is standardized in IEC 61158. All the slave nodes connected to the bus interpret, process, and modify the addressed data on the fly (when needed basis), without having to buffer the frame inside the node. This real-time behavior, frame processing, and forwarding requirements are implemented by the EtherCAT slave controller hardware. EtherCAT does not require software interaction for data transmission inside the slaves. EtherCAT only defines the MAC layer while the higher layer protocols and stack are implemented in software on the microcontrollers connected to the ESC. The SMI in C2000 ESC is called PHY management interface used for communication with the Ethernet PHYs. See #GUID-E7718E96-EBB4-439E-B6C0-5E8B5C66323F for the connectivity of SMI.

MDIO must have a pullup resistor (4.7 kΩ recommended) externally. MCLK is driven rail-to-rail, idle value is HIGH.

The SMI includes the management clock (MDC) and the management input/output data pin (MDIO). MDC is sourced by the ESC, and can run at a maximum clock rate of 25 MHz. MDC is not expected to be continuous, and can be turned off by the ESC when the bus is idle.

MDIO is sourced by the ESC and by the PHY. The data on the MDIO pin is latched on the rising edge of the MDC. MDIO pin requires a pullup resistor, which pulls MDIO high during IDLE and turnaround.
