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
