QEC (Quick to EtherCAT) is an Arduino-based EtherCAT System solution, through the Vortex86EX2 processor developed by DMP Electronics, meets the requirements of hardware and software Real-time. Become an EtherCAT device whose hardware and software are user-friendly and satisfy all users who expect to use EtherCAT in the market.
The list below gives a short summary of the master features:
- Designed as a real-time Arduino Integrated development environment
- Distributed Clocks support
- Configuration of the slave’s DC parameters through the application interface.
- Synchronization (offset and drift compensation) of the distributed slave clocks to the reference clock.
- Optional synchronization of the reference clock to the master clock or the other way round.
- CANopen over EtherCAT (CoE)
- SDO upload, download and information service.
- Slave configuration via SDOs.
- SDO access from userspace and from the application.
- File Access over EtherCAT (FoE)
- Loading and storing files via the command-line tool.
- Updating a slave’s firmware can be done easily.
- Configuring EtherCAT cable redundancy
- Two independent Ethernet interfaces can be used for EtherCAT cable redundancy.
- Cable redundancy offers resilience for the cabling.
- Interruptions of the EtherCAT communication due to broken wires or unplugged LAN cables are avoided.
- 86Duino IDE (Arduino based)
- Simple-to-use API of Arduino with many examples
- ArduBlock (Scratch tool)
- HMI Editor (HMI design tool)
- 86EVA (EtherCAT-based Virtual Arduino)
