Introduction
For developing applications on EtherCAT Master series cards, ICP DAS provides users
with a shared library libecatdevice (.dll) to support the use in Windows operating systems. It
provides powerful, easy-to-use functions for developing applications and speed-up the
developing process . The library architecture is shown in the following figure. The user
programs are developed on PC. PC is communicated with ECAT-M801 via APIs which use
DRPRM (dual-port RAM) as the bridge.
Chapter 2 is about installing software in a PC.
Chapter 3 introduces how to use utility for configuring the system and do some function tests.
Chapter 4 introduces some application developing concepts and settings for Visual studio.
Chapter 5 talking about how to open/close card and how to start an EtherCAT system and get
its connection status. Local I/O operations are also mentioned.
Chapter 6 is about how to read/write objects of a slave. Both SDO and PDO communication
methods are addressed. For simple I/O slaves, some simple APIs are provided. For complex slaves,
such as AI/AO and Encoder interface modules, more functions are provided for configuration.
Chapter 7 includes a lot of functions. There are single axis motion functions, homing and group
motion functions. Other functions are also provided here, such as PID control loops, Steward
Platform Controller, motion data logger. A very power Event method in this system is also described
here. Use Event method can let the PC loading reduce dramatically, and let the system respond
