Description
This TI design implements a hardware interface solution based on the HEIDENHAIN EnDat 2.2 standard for position or rotary encoders. The platform also allows designers to implement real-time EtherCAT communications standards in a broad range of industrial automation equipment. It enables designers with a low foot print, low power and single chip solution in applications such as industrial automation, factory automation or industrial communication.
Features
- Combining EtherCAT and EnDat provides the user with a single chip solution to bridge from motor control to higher level communications.
- EtherCAT conformance tested by EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG)
- The EnDat 2.2 interface improves the technical standard for motor control and reduces overall system cost.
- Combining EtherCAT and EnDat 2.2 on a single chip allows for more integration and a smaller footprint.
- Free ETG EtherCAT stack with free ETG membership. Compatible with other third party EtherCAT stacks.
- Free board support package and industrial software development kit from TI.
- Support other industrial communications with the same hardware (e.g., PROFIBUS, Profinet, Ethernet/IP, and more).
- Based on Sitara AM437x Processor for Single Chip motor control applications and other embedded control and communications applications.
- Production Ready development platform sub-system which includes schematics, BOM, user guide, benchmarks, software, demos and more.
