EC-Simulator
EC-Simulator is an EtherCAT® SubDevice simulator that processes and responds to MainDevice frames in real time, eliminating the need for physical SubDevices. It supports both Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) execution as a local Ethernet driver for EC-Master and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) operation on a dedicated external system over Ethernet. Hybrid networks combining physical and simulated SubDevices are also supported.
