Product overview
6 EL9820
2.2.2 Slave Sample Code
The EtherCAT Slave Sample Code is an example sourc e code in ANSI C supporting both the μC and the
SPI interface. The code serves as a development base for implementation of EtherCAT in devices with
own processor.

EtherCAT handling in the controller

handling of the state machine

mailbox handling

protocol handling for:
o CoE (CANopen over EtherCAT)
o FoE (File Access over EtherCAT)

sample applications for all variants
