[etherlab-users] C++ Applications

[John Erlandsson]

Hi!


I am curious as to know if there is a way of using your EtherCat master 
for automation purposes, without Simulink.


What I basically want to do is: Describe the bus in a configuration 
file, and assign names to the I/O.

I then want them to be imported and declared somehow in a C++ application.


Like TwinCat, but with C++ and Linux...


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.



Could someone give me a dumb-ed down version of how this could be done?


Does anyone have a better idea of using the master?


Is it even a good idea to use userspace applications?



Appreciate any help.


//John
