I-XIV Slave Controller – Technology
Procedure for cutting directly through an Ethernet frame by a switch before the
complete message is received.
Cycle in which data is to be exchanged in a system operating on a periodical
basis.
Mechanism to synchronize EtherCAT slaves and master
Delays can be caused by run-times during transfer or internal delays of a
network component.
Destination address of a message (the destination can be an individual network
station or a group (multicast).
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, used to assign IP addresses (and other
important startup parameter in the Internet context).
Data Link Layer, also known as Layer 2. EtherCAT uses the Data Link Layer of
Ethernet, which is standardized as IEEE 802.3.
Domain Name Service, a protocol for domain name to IP addresses resolution.
Based on LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) standard specified in
ANSI/TIA/EIA-644-1995
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. Non-volatile memory
used to store EtherCAT Slave Information (ESI). Connected to the SII.
Electromagnetic Compatibility, describes the robustness of a device with regard
to electrical interference from the environment.
Electromagnetic Interference
Here: All applications required to configure and program a machine.
Error indicator for AL state
Physical Layer RX Error LED for debugging purposes
EtherCAT Slave Controller
EtherCAT Slave Information, stored in SII EEPROM
EtherCAT Technology Group (http://www.ethercat.org)
Real-time Standard for Industrial Ethernet Control Automation Technology
(Ethernet for Control Automation Technology)
Identification of an Ethernet frame with a 16-bit number assigned by IEEE. For
example, IP uses EtherType 0x0800 (hexadecimal) and the EtherCAT protocol
uses 0x88A4.
