TMS320F280049C: use EtherCAT Interface to connect AMIC110

Part Number: TMS320F280049C
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AMIC110, LAUNCHXL-F280049C, TMDXICE110, LAUNCHXL-F28069M

Dear team,

Could i implement EtherCAT communication with 280049C and AMIC110.

I saw  https://www.ti.com.cn/tool/TMDXICE110 

 AMIC110 ICE can be used in conjunction with C2000 LaunchPadTm development kits for developing solutions for connected motor drives, as well as industrial sensors and IOs in factory automation. 

So do we have the document about 280049C and AMIC110? How to connect them?

Do i only need SPI/UART to connect or AMIC110?  ECAT_LATCH0, ECAT_LATCH1, ECAT_SYNC0, ECAT_SYNC2, IRQ, LOADED do not need to be connected;

Or is it just a kind of communication plus the 6 signals of ECAT connected to general GPIO?

Please help.

  • Hi Susan,

    So do we have the document about 280049C and AMIC110? How to connect them?

    We don't have a document or software specifically for F280049C + AMIC110. Hardware wise, the LAUNCHXL-F280049C should work with the TMDXICE110 since I believe only a SPI connection is required. Other signals mentioned could be optional depending on the application and need for eCAT SYNC/LATCH signals.

    You might find some useful information in the training videos below, which shows LAUNCHXL-F28069M and TMDXICE110 being used together. SW support may be available in one of the processor SDKs.

    By the way, any reason you are not looking at the F2838x device which has the EtherCAT slave controller IP integrated into the device?

    Best,
