Problems solved by technology

[0008] The open Powerlink resource package is an entry-level protocol stack for realizing Powerlink industrial real-time Ethernet communication. If you use the open Powerlink resource package to design and implement Powerlink industrial real-time Ethernet communication and carry out product design, it is impossible to implement the "Ethernet Powerlink communication profile Specifications" (GB / T27960-2016) stipulated technical indicators
It has the following disadvantages: large signal transmission jitter, slow transmission rate, long cycle period, multiple chips are required at the same time, and the design is complicated, which causes problems such as slow response of Powerlink industrial real-time Ethernet communication, unstable transmission, and high communication cost.

Abstract

The invention discloses a design method of master / slave station cards for implementing Powerlink industrial real-time Ethernet communication. The master / slave station cards can be configured to be a Powerlink industrial real-time Ethernet communication master station card or slave station card. During the designing process, a kernel layer and an MAC layer of a Powerlink protocol stack are constructed inside an FPGA and a CAL driver is also constructed and is connected with the kernel layer. When the master / slave station cards are used, a gold finger is inserted into an upper computer main board CAL mother base and the upper computer operates the CAL interface driver and a user layer and an application program of the Powerlink protocol stack. According to the invention, with the high-speedserial differential signal CAL interface inside the Powerlink protocol stack, the high-speed transmission of over one hundred megabyte as well as the signal stability is guaranteed, the communicationrate is increased, and the cycle time is shortened, so that the communication real-time performance is improved.
