[etherlab-users] etherlab for creating EtherCAT slaves?

[Matthias Liermann]

Hello,
I would like to setup a linux realtime system as EtherCat slave. The plan is to outsource a part of our real-time applications on our existing NI PXI HiL system to another PC with data exchange over EtherCat. There is a vendor who offers an EtherCat slave PCI card along with drivers and an API to create EtherCat slaves (<https://esd.eu/en/products/ecs-pciefpga>). My thought was, that a version of the libethercat library could be created that would connect the real time simulation with the ethercat slave just in the same way that it is working now with the etherlab master module. Has anyone done this before or can suggest us a way to go? I would be glad about any suggestions and hints.
Matthias
