Link

Link is an abstraction of the physical communication path with AUTD3 devices.

Section titled “Link List”
  • TwinCAT — Link that uses Beckhoff TwinCAT 3 on Windows as the EtherCAT master
  • echocat — EtherCAT Link dedicated to AUTD3. The host itself becomes the EtherCAT master
  • Remote — Link that connects over TCP to another host. Used to reach the Appliance and the Simulator

Usage

Section titled “Usage”

A Link is constructed by passing a Link Option to Client::open. The Option specifies the connection target, synchronization parameters, and so on.

The send/receive interface seen from the Client is common across Link implementations. Therefore, swapping the link does not require changing the higher-level code.
