TR8xxx

TR8xxx | EtherCAT workshops for developers

The workshops are aimed at developers of EtherCAT masters (TR8200) or EtherCAT slaves (TR8100). In addition to theoretical content they also include practical exercises. It is assumed that workshop participants have access to an evaluation kit (EL98xx) (slave workshop) or the Master Sample Code (ET9200) (master workshop). Basic EtherCAT knowledge is assumed. The workshops are led by developers and held in manageable groups so that individual interests can be addressed.
