TR8200 | EtherCAT Master Sample Code workshop

The workshop is aimed at developers of EtherCAT master devices. In addition to theoretical content this workshop also includes practical exercises. It is assumed that workshop participants have access to the ET9200 Master Sample Code. Basic EtherCAT knowledge is assumed.

The workshops are held in German or English by developers in manageable groups so that individual interests can be addressed. Since the number of participants is limited, we recommend registering early.
