Altera Announces Breakthrough Advantages with Generation 10 FPGAs and SoCsAltera has announced the availability of a fully verified EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) protocol intellectual property for Altera FPGAs.

This is a result of a collaboration between Altera and Softing Industrial Automation of Germany, for a licensing structure that is intended to give developers access to Industrial Ethernet protocols with “no upfront license fees, no per-unit royalty reporting or protracted negotiations”.

“Customers have wanted to leverage the performance of the EtherCAT protocol IP in the FPGA for some time, but have always been hampered by licensing costs,” said Brian Jentz, director, industrial business unit at Altera.

Altera can now implement both the protocol IP and software stack into an FPGA using programmable logic and a soft embedded processor.

The same FPGA can also be used to implement various industrial automation functions, such as sensor interfaces, accelerators and custom control logic in addition to the communication function.

“The ETG is excited that Altera now provides the fast-growing EtherCAT protocol to customers designing systems with FPGAs via a new and unique licensing strategy,” said Martin Rostan, executive director at ETG.

According to Altera, customers can download the entire EtherCAT protocol IP including the software stack from Softing. The protocol IP and reference designs are hardware tested on both the Altera Industrial Networking Kit (INK) the Softing FPGA RTEM Cyclone III kit.
