7.13.8 EtherCAT Slave Controller (ESC)

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 data addressed to them quickly, 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 (ESC) 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 EtherCAT:

  • Involves master and slave(s) setup where slave nodes are physically connected daisy-chain style but logically operate on a loop
  • Specializes in precise, low-jitter synchronization across slave nodes
  • Uses IEEE 802.3 Ethernet physical layer and standard Ethernet frames
