What's in the Delivery Package

Delivered electronically as a .zip archive. Proprietary source code is never included in any delivery.

Compiled Library

Protected static library implementing the EtherCAT master state machine and license / demo verification.

Public Header Files

C++ headers required to build your application against the library. No proprietary internals exposed.

Example Source File

An editable server.cpp you may modify or replace with your own motion-control logic.

Build Configuration

CMake files and build scripts for a standard Linux C++17 toolchain.

Deployment Scripts

Installation and setup scripts to get the master running on your Linux machine.

Documentation

README, USER_GUIDE.pdf, and the hardware fingerprint generation procedure for licensed builds.

Why EtherCAT + SOEM?

EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is the fastest industrial fieldbus available, with deterministic communication in under 1 millisecond. It uses standard Ethernet hardware โ€” no proprietary cards needed.

SOEM (Simple Open EtherCAT Master) is a battle-tested, MIT-licensed open-source EtherCAT master stack written in C, running on Linux with PREEMPT-RT for real-time performance โ€” the same stack used in industrial robots worldwide.

Together, they replace costly proprietary PLCs and motion controllers while delivering better real-time performance on standard Linux hardware.

How We Deliver

01

Requirements Gathering

We assess your machine axes, motion profiles, I/O count, and timing constraints.

02

Hardware Selection

We select drives, motors, and I/O cards from your preferred brand or recommend the best fit.

03

SOEM Integration

We develop the EtherCAT master application using SOEM on Linux with optional ROS2 control layer.

04

Testing & Commissioning

On-site installation, tuning, and validation against your production requirements.

Works With Any Brand

As long as it speaks EtherCAT (CoE, FoE, or custom ESI), we can integrate it.
