NI 9145 EtherCAT Slave Chassis

Hi!

 

I need to simulate 3 EtherCAT slaves, by simulate I mean: have somekind of hardware able to read/write the EtherCAT bus (Controlled by some 3rd party Master) and then sending/reading information from a VeriStand Project (Channels) running on a RT Target (PXIe with Linux). I cheked some info online and read that NI recomeds the use of the NI-9145.

 

1. If I need to simulate n slaves; do I need n NI-9145? if not, how many do I need?

2. Is there another alternative?

 

Thanks!

 

Best Regards
