Summary:This study applies socket for connecting Ethernet control automation technology (EtherCAT) master program and OpenPLC. EtherCAT is a new potential protocol that might be the next generation of industrial communication. To make it fully functional, combining EtherCAT with programmable logic controller (PLC) become our first target. With Socket, a reliable API, we can implement PLC on EtherCATstructure by connecting EtherCAT master program and OpenPLC.
