This reference design implements a cost-optimized high EMC immunity EtherCAT slave (dual ports) with SPI-interface to the application processor. The hardware design is capable of supporting multi-protocol industrial ethernet and field-busses using the AMIC110 industrial communications processor. The design runs on a single 5-V supply; a PMIC generates all the necessary on-board rails. The EtherCAT slave stack can run on the AMIC110 or on the application processor using a serial peripheral interface (SPI). With a hardware switch, the AMIC110 can be configured to boot the EtherCAT slave firmware from SPI flash or to boot from application processor through SPI. The design has been tested for IEC61800-3 EMC immunity with a standard industrial PLC running the EtherCAT master. A JTAG interface accelerates custom firmware development.
A fully assembled board has been developed for testing and performance validation only, and is not available for sale.
