voraus EtherCAT Master

The voraus EtherCAT Master is an easy to use and flexible EtherCAT Master.

Features

  • ENI files: The master works with EtherCAT Network Information (ENI) files that describe the network.

  • OPC UA Server: Information about the EtherCAT devices are published on an OPC UA server. The OPC UA server can also be used to read and write PDOs.

  • PDO automations: simple time critical sequences or reactions can be programmed in a mini language that is interpreted inside the cyclic task of the master.

  • Python interface: We also provide a python library which can be used to either directly write PDOs or to program PDO automations.

  • Docker: This application is published as a docker image.
