Description
Beckhoff IO is economical, robust, and exceedingly diverse. Their complete EtherCAT terminal line can be utilized without a PLC, or an EtherCAT master occupying a NIC by using an EK9000 Modbus coupler. The coupler maps the PDO of EtherCAT terminals to Modbus registers and coils, in a similar fashion as the Beckhoff BK9000 (which only works with the K-bus terminals [Beckhoff proprietary]). This module enables direct EPICS integration of fairly arbitrary EtherCAT chains over Modbus TCP.
