Software

By default, two software solutions are provided:

• TwinCAT (http://www.beckhoff.com/TwinCAT)
• SlaveStackCode (SSC) (http://www.ethercat.org/memberarea/stack_code.aspx)

Both solutions are Windows-based and don’t support any kind of synchronization.

Other implementations are not welcome due to EtherCAT slave compability reasons. If necessary, the Windows drivers are available in the SSC download package (free download for ETG members):

• fc11xxAccess.dll (before 2023 named as TcHelper.dll)
• fc11xxAccess.h (before 2023 named as TcHelper.h) - Headerfile that describes the dll-functions
• fc11xx.sys (before 2023 named as TcMM.sys)
• fc11xx.inf (before 2023 named as TcMM.inf)
