Asynchronous 8/16 bit µController Interface
6.4.1
Interface
The asynchronous µController interface uses demultiplexed address and data busses. The
bidirectional data bus can be either 8 bit or 16 bit wide. The signals of the asynchronous µController
interface of EtherCAT devices are:
8/16 bit
µController
(async)
CS
ADR
BHE
DATA
BUSY
EtherCAT

IRQ
RD

Some µControllers have a READY signal, this is the same as the BUSY signal, just with inverted
polarity.
6.4.2
Configuration
The 16 bit asynchronous µController interface is selected with PDI type 0x08 in the PDI control
register 0x0140, the 8 bit asynchronous µController interface has PDI type 0x09. It supports different
configurations, which are located in registers 0x0150
– 0x0153.
