Ethercat in PC RT (ETS)

[mahu]

Is possible work ethercat with ETS RT PC? I want to use a desktop pc with two ethernet ports, like master for some servo drive Digitax from Control Technique.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Mahu, the standard Ethernet port doesn't work with ether cat. Ethercat, is able to use the existing cabling but needs special Ports to work. For example for our Ethercat Expansion Chasis for cRIO, we can use them from industrial controllers, PXI or some CRIO, but not from PC.
