EtherCAT enables high-speed, high-precision real-time control. We provide comprehensive slave solutions tailored to your product, from planning and development to mass production.
Developed at NDR
We consistently develop from EtherCAT slave hardware development to EtherCAT slave software development. Software development can be started early and hence low-risk, short-term contract development by using NDR evaluation board. EtherCAT software Master development is possible using open source software.
If NDR evaluation board is used, then it is possible to convert existing system to EtherCAT immediately just by I/O board development and start the evaluation.
We consider the configuration according to customer request and make proposal by including development flow to achieve low risk and high efficiency.
EtherCAT Slave Development
One-Stop Development
For customers struggling with the complexity of EtherCAT slave development.
We solve everything from hardware to software in one stop.
We handle everything from EtherCAT slave hardware development to software development. This saves you the
hassle of coordinating with multiple vendors and allows for a smooth development process.
Low-Risk, Short-Term Development
For customers who want to minimize development risk and accelerate time-to-market.
By utilizing our evaluation boards, you can evaluate on actual hardware from the initial stages of
development, minimizing rework and contributing to shorter development times and cost savings. We also have
experience developing with third-party evaluation boards, so please feel free to consult with us.

FAQ
How long does EtherCAT slave development take?
The duration varies depending on your requirements and complexity, but for standard stack porting, it
typically takes 2-3 months from requirements definition to evaluation. We will provide an accurate
schedule and cost estimate after a detailed hearing.
What profiles do you support?
We support major EtherCAT protocols such as CoE (CANopen over EtherCAT) and FoE (File over EtherCAT). We
also flexibly support specific industry-standard profiles like CiA402 (drive profile) and ETG.5003 for
semiconductor manufacturing equipment, according to your needs.
Do you support the EtherCAT Conformance Test Tool (CTT)?
Yes, for the slaves we develop for our customers, running the EtherCAT Conformance Test Tool (CTT) is a
standard part of our process, and we provide the results as part of the verification report.
Do you offer post-development support?
Yes, we offer post-development technical support and maintenance. To ensure the long-term stable
operation of your product, we will propose a support plan tailored to your situation, so please feel free
to consult with us.
