SOES
A lightweight, easy-to-use open-source EtherCAT slave stack written in C for embedded applications.
What is SOES?
SOES (Simple OpenSource EtherCAT Slave Stack) is an open-source implementation of an EtherCAT slave stack written in C. It provides a lightweight, portable solution for embedded devices that need to communicate on EtherCAT networks, offering an alternative to more complex commercial stacks while maintaining full protocol compliance.
Embedded systems developers and engineers working on industrial automation, robotics, or motion control applications that require EtherCAT slave functionality on resource-constrained devices.
Developers choose SOES for its simplicity, small footprint, and educational value—the clean C code is both practical for production use and excellent for learning how EtherCAT slave implementations work internally.
