[QEC Tutorial]
This example shows how to operate the QEC-M (EtherCAT Master) and QEC’s EtherCAT Slave Digital Input & Output Modules through the 86Duino IDE’s graphical low-code programming tools, 86EVA and ArduBlock, to perform basic applications and to see the actual physical state: controlling the external LEDs via the EtherCAT Digital Output Slave Module and receiving their status via the EtherCAT Digital Input Slave Module.
Software Tools Description
- 86EVA (EVA, EtherCAT-Based Virtual Arduino) is a graphical EtherCAT configuration tool based on the EtherCAT Library in the 86Duino IDE and is one of the development kits for 86Duino.
- ArduBlock is a graphical interface for programming and IO control. It is third-party software that belongs to Arduino IDE, developed by David Li, a Shanghai-based creator, and must be attached to the IDE to operate. ArduBlock is a software that converts graphical blocks into code and eventually generates the main program to 86Duino Coding IDE, then compiles and uploads it.
As this document is a continuation of the ” EtherCAT Library Example: QEC Digital Input/Output“, If you have any questions about the hardware in the tutorial, please read the EtherCAT Library example: Digital Input/Output for QEC.
