we are creating a new project with am2432 and we want to use the Ethernet over EtherCAT (EoE) protocol any Ethernet data traffic can be transported within an EtherCAT segment.
To implement this protocol, I have to add an ethercat switchport or just connect the ethernet port on the ethercat master.

Thanks for your query.

The EtherCAT is not only fully Ethernet compatible. So directly connecting an Ethernet device will not work. EoE functions by tunneling ethernet frame in Ethercat network. The switch will inserts Ethernet frames into the EtherCAT protocol. The Ethernet frames in the EtherCAT protocol are transferred with acyclic mailbox communication. Please refer this for more details: https://www.ethercat.org/en/technology.html#1.9.3. So you will need to use a switch.

1. What is the end product here?
2. Significance of camera interface?Is the protocol used here is UDP.
3. What is the BW looking for?
