🔁 EEPROM generator

EtherCAT EEPROM + SOES OD configuration tool

This page serves as a tool to generate consistent data across your code, ESI file and EEPROM data. Hover over the fields to get additional info about the items you can change.
For more detail on how these values translate to the corresponding files, and where you can find more info in the ETG documentation, look into javascript source that generates these files.

C source code is generated for SOES: Simple Open source EtherCAT Slave stack. Its source code with example applications is available on Github. Docs with basic tutorial can be found on rt-labs page
