- Automatic configuration of slaves, if a application-layer state change is
requested.
* Implementation of the CANopen over EtherCAT (CoE) mailbox protocol.
* Implementation of the "CANopen over EtherCAT" (CoE) mailbox protocol.
- Configuration of CoE-capable slaves.
- SDO information service (dictionary listing).
- SDO transfers both via the application interface and the command-line tool.
* Implementation of the Ethernet over EtherCAT (EoE) mailbox protocol.
* Implementation of the "Ethernet over EtherCAT" (EoE) mailbox protocol.
- Virtual network interface for any EoE-capable slave.
- Both a switched and a routed EoE network architecture is natively supported
and configurable with standard tools.
* Implementation of the Vendor specific over EtherCAT (VoE) mailbox protocol.
* Implementation of the "Vendor-specific over EtherCAT" (VoE) mailbox protocol.
- Communication with vendor-specific mailbox protocols via the API.
* Implementation of the "File Access over EtherCAT" (FoE) mailbox protocol.
- Loading and storing files via the command-line tool.
- Updating a slave's firmware can be done easily.
* Userspace command-line tool 'ethercat'.
- Detailed information about master, slaves, domains and bus configuration.
- Setting the master's debug level.
- Reading/Writing alias addresses.
- Listing slave configurations.
- Viewing process data.
- SDO download/upload; listing SDO dictionaries.
- Loading and storing files via FoE.
