Support of ServoDrive over EtherCAT

EtherCat Master now with SoE profiles

The Kithara EtherCAT Master now supports the SoE profile according to IEC 61800-7-204 (ServoDrive over EtherCAT). This way, it is possible to use servo inverters with this protocol as part of the EtherCat topology. This has been successfully tested on inverters by Bosch-Rexroth.

In order to gain SoE support, the EtherCAT Master (e. g. Kithara RealTime EtherCAT) requires an extension for SoE.

Will you still use 32-bit Windows as target plattform in the future?

No, only 64-bit Windows Yes, but only occasionally Yes, until the end of this year Yes, until Microsoft definitely ends support for Windows 10 Yes, we intend to use 32-bit Windows for a long time
