The EVB-LAN9252-HBIPLUS from Microchip is a LAN9252 EtherCAT slave controller evaluation kit with HBI PDI interface. The LAN9252 is a 2-port EtherCAT Slave Controller (ESC) with dual integrated Ethernet PHYs which each contain a full-duplex 100BASE-TX transceiver and support 100Mbps (100BASE-TX) operation. 100BASE-FX is supported via an external fibre transceiver. Each port receives an EtherCAT frame, performs frame checking and forwards it to the next port. Time stamps of received frames are generated when they are received. The Loop-back function of each port forwards the frames to the next logical port if there is either no link at a port, if the port is not available or if the loop is closed for that port. The Loop-back function of port 0 forwards the frames to the EtherCAT processing unit. The loop settings can be controlled by the EtherCAT master.
