  • Working principle of EtherCAT FOE

    EtherCAT FOE provides many practical functions. How does it work and what is its working principle? EtherCAT FOE adopts the client-server model. There is a FOE client and one or more FOE servers in the EtherCAT network. The FOE client is responsible for initiating file transfer requests, while the FOE server is responsible for handling client requests and performing corresponding file transfer operations. The video will introduce its working principle in detail.

  • Common application scenarios of EtherCAT FOE

    What are the application scenarios of EtherCAT FOE? Next, we will focus on five commonly used scenarios. The first is firmware update. The firmware can be easily updated through the EtherCAT FOE device, and the host can send the firmware to the device through the EtherCAT network. The device will update the firmware after receiving the file, which simplifies the maintenance and upgrading process of the device. The second is configuration file download. The third is data recording and monitoring. The fourth is remote control diagnosis. This video will introduce them one by one.

  • EtherCAT FOE offers many advantages

    EtherCAT FOE offers many advantages, including the following four points. First, it is efficient and reliable. EtherCAT FOE uses the data link layer processing data unit (DLPDU) of EtherCAT as the transmission mechanism, which features high reliability and low delay. It can ensure the integrity and accuracy of file transmission and is suitable for the scenarios that require high reliability in monthly industrial automation applications. The second is flexible file transfer. The third is supporting multiple file formats. The fourth is easy integration. This video will introduce them in detail.

  • How to realize the conversion of automobile test system CANFD to EtherCAT?

    We know that CAN and CANFD are widely used in the communication system of automobile. In order to ensure the high real-time and low delay of the system test, the digital controller based on EtherCAT is used as the main controller of brand test systems such as MTS, which needs to be connected with various data collection systems to complete the data collection during the mechanical performance test of materials, structures and vehicles. When the above test system needs to be connected to the automobile chassis data, it is often impossible for the test system to read the data directly through the EtherCAT network. This video will show you in detail how to realize the data conversion and save your development cost.
