[Etherlab-users] Embedded PC with out of the box support for igh-ethercat

[Fontana Nicola]

Hi all,

I'm in the process of trying to "standardize" the hardware stack I'm
using

My requirements are:

1. a PC easily connectable to EtherCAT
2. native support for igh-ethercat
3. OPC/UA server via open62541
4. reliable 5 ms scan time

Lately I'm using Beckhoff CX9020-0100 but its performances are (mildly
put) crap. I fear to use other Beckhoff solutions because they seem to
not support Linux natively (the fact that they keep pushing for TwinCAT
is quite annoying).

I am also quite interested to know what do you use in general, how do
you handle power outages (or more general the poweroff procedure) to
avoid storage corruptions and if you use FSoE. Those would be a really
great FAQs.

Thank you.
