Use Speedgoat real-time solutions to implement EtherCAT protocol connectivity with MATLAB® & Simulink®. Using the Simulink® Real-Time™ workflow and Speedgoat hardware, you can use a wide range of industrial protocols like Ethernet for Control Automation Technlogy (EtherCAT) with your real-time application. Speedgoat products provide seamless integration of EtherCAT main device and EtherCAT subordinate device communications with the MathWorks® product family (e.g. MATLAB®, Simulink®, Simulink® Test™ and Simulink® Real-Time™).
The ideal solution to interface Simulink® with motor servo drives, power controllers, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and many other industrial equipment using EtherCAT protocol communications.
Support for EtherCAT Main Device is provided as standard with real-time target machines. In addition, Speedgoat provides versatile support for EtherCAT Main Device and EtherCAT Subordinate Device with a range of dedicated I/O modules (see selection guide below). All solutions come with Simulink® driver blocks. For further information see Support for Ethernet-based Protocols.
