<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Hi!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">I am curious as to know if there is a
way of using your EtherCat master for automation purposes, without
Simulink.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">What I basically want to do is:
Describe the bus in a configuration file, and assign names to the
I/O.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">I then want them to be imported and
declared somehow in a
C++ application. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Like TwinCat, but with C++ and
Linux...</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">The reason for this is that I think it
would be awesome to do industrial automation in C++. To actually
abstract machines and subclass them, instead of reusing code
snippets.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Could someone give me a dumb-ed down
version of how this could be done?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Does anyone have a better idea of
using
the master?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Is it even a good idea to use
userspace
applications? </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Appreciate any help.</p>
