The EtherCAT Slave Controller (ESC) is a new module on the F2838x device. Ethernet for Control Automation Technology (EtherCAT) is an Ethernet-based field bus system that was invented by Beckhoff Automation. EtherCAT is standardized in IEC 61158. All of the slave nodes that are connected to the bus interpret, process, and modify data as data is addressed to them, without having to buffer the frame inside the node. It supports up to 2 MII ports to connect to external PHYs. For more information, see the TMS320F2838x Microcontrollers Technical Reference Manual.
