In addition to the ESC features, the following are the device-specific features provided by the integration of the ESC and the MCU:
- ESC access allocation to either the CM subsystem or CPU1 subsystem during initialization
- EtherCAT reset request from master can be routed to NMI or general interrupt controller on MCU
- RAM Parity error routed to NMI on MCU
- DMA access to EtherCAT RAM
- Up to 32 GPIs and up to 32 GPOs feature integrated to 16-bit ASYNC PDI interface
- Interface to CLB
- Distributed clock feature of SYNC0/1 able to synchronize PWMs, generate interrupt/DMA requests, or trigger eCAP capture to allow external component action through GPIO access.
- EtherCAT SYNC0/1 pulse can trigger a CLA task.
- Distributed clock feature of LATCH0/1 allows inputs from any GPIO or PWM crossbar triggers
