Abstract

In the paper, an FPGA (field-programmable-gate-array) based industrial Ethernet slave communication controller is proposed. The slave communication controller is compatible with a custom communication protocol and will be used in NC (numerical control) system. A distributed clock which is integrated in the slave controller and synchronizes to the system clock provides a precise time for each device in the network. The slave communication controller is implemented on Xilinx Spartan3E XC3S500E with a maximum communication delay of about 1000 ns.
