About this example

This is an example application to demonstrate the ease with which a system, which communicates over EtherCAT, can be build. It measures the RPM of a motor using a proximity sensor.

Following lists the hardware required

• 2 x Mbed boards with Arduino UNO form factor (NUCLEO-F103RB)
• 2 x EASE boards
• 1 x proximity sensor shield (X_NUCLEO_6180XA1)
• 1 x Motor shield (X-NUCLEO-IHM01A1)
• 1 x stepper motor
• 1 x Ethernet POE injector with a 24VDC power supply
• 2 x Ethernet cables
• Keyboard, mouse, and monitor
• PC with Linux/Windows OS installed
• DC power supply for motor
