mvPMC-eCAT

The mvPMC-eCAT board is a“mezzanine card” PMC-PCI format that allows the Host to handle up to 2 EtherCAT Field Buses in Master mode; at 100Mbaud speed, with I/O cycles that can be shorter than 50uSec, data can be fetched from its DP Ram without wasting CPU time. Furthermore using its PCI Agent modality, the board can move data directly into the Host's memory increasing its performance. Communication can be redundant thanks to the two FastEthernet Controllers (FCC) integrated in PowerQUICC II. Ma.Vi. has developed also I/O Slave EtherCAT systems with multiple sophisticated controls.
