Product overview
2 Product overview
The evaluation kit EL9820/EL9821 consists of the EL9800 base board, the field bus postage stamp
FB1111-0142 and accessories like cables, documentation and the evaluation kit CD.
2.1 Hardware
2.1.1 Base board
The base board EL9800 is used as a platform for EtherCAT-Slave development. The different process
data interfaces (PDI) are implemented as pin headers that are allowing a flexible development of complex
EtherCAT-Salves.

Product overview
2.2.2 Slave Sample Code
The EtherCAT Slave Sample Code is an example source code in ANSI C supporting both the μC and the
SPI interface. The code serves as a development base for implementation of EtherCAT in devices with
own processor.
 EtherCAT handling in the controller
 handling of the state machine
 mailbox handling
 protocol handling for:
o CoE (CANopen over EtherCAT)

o FoE (File Access over EtherCAT)
 sample applications for all variants
2.3 Workshop
For the evaluation kit EL9820 the workshop TR8100 can be ordered additionally. This workshop is al-
ready included in the evaluation kit EL9821.
The workshop TR8100 is focused on Slave-Developers and treats the topics:
 hardware for EtherCAT
 TwinCAT 2.10 installation, including drivers and EtherCAT protocol
 TwinCAT introduction
 process data interfaces (PDIs):
o 8/16 bit microcontroller interface

o 32 bit digital I/O
o SPI interface
 PDI timing
 Slave Sample Source Code
 EtherCAT Slave Controller: ASICs ET1100 and ET1200 and EtherCAT IP Core
 network monitor
 device description file (XML file)
