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