EtherCAT Communication Simulation "EC-Simulator"
You can perform network verification virtually without slave hardware!
The "EC-Simulator" is an EtherCAT communication simulation tool. By simulating EtherCAT slave devices, it virtualizes the EtherCAT network. It allows the execution of EtherCAT master applications even without the presence of slave hardware. Conducting virtual simulations without the need for actual equipment leads to reductions in development time and costs. 【Simulation Methods】 ■ HiLS (Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation) - One of the debugging methods for software known as model development base - Allows confirmation of how the system will react and operate in a virtual environment that simulates actual equipment ■ SiLS (Software-in-the-Loop Simulation) - A simulator environment that enables control development solely within a software environment - Facilitates the development and testing of control algorithms for large-scale and complex systems *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
basic information
【Merits】 ■HiLS - By enabling virtual simulation without the need for control targets, it leads to a reduction in man-hours. - It allows for understanding system configurations that involve risks in a virtual environment. - It enables the identification of environments where issues may arise, allowing for reproduction testing and corrections. ■SiLS - Simulation can be conducted without the need for actual devices like ECUs, reducing development man-hours. - Since only the software environment needs to be prepared, it offers excellent cost performance. - Even when it is difficult to prepare multiple development systems using actual devices, it is easy to set up experimental environments. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
