TWR-EtheRCAT-SLV, EtherCAT Slave Peripheral Tower System Module from IXXAT. EtherCAT industrial Ethernet protocol is one of the fastest growing, Ethernet-based communication protocols used in industrial control systems. The TWR-EtheRCAT-SLV EtherCAT slave module is developed and owned by IXXAT Automation GmbH for use in the Tower System. This module eases EtherCAT slave node development for the majority of Freescale processors supported by the Freescale Tower System. It features the ET1100 EtherCAT ASIC from Beckhoff Automation GmbH, and is compatible with any Tower System MCU or MPU module that has a serial peripheral interface (SPI). It is also possible to connect non-Tower development boards using extra connectors on the module
