The EtherCAT Technology Group has partnered with industry leaders to create a Specific Device Profile for Semiconductor Temperature Controllers termed ETG.5003.2060. Temperature controllers control the temperature of a component or material to a defined setpoint. The output is typically a heating element and the feedback is from a temperature sensor.
ETG.5003.2060 describes the network visible component of a semiconductor Temperature Controller. A single Temperature Controller often controls many different zones. Each zone has its own control loop. This SDP allows for up to 255 control loops. The SDP also identifies options for two base data type schemas for process values (i.e. temperature): Integer values and floating point values. Integer values are provided for compatibility with legacy systems. Floating point values are provided for high precision applications and devices that support floating point. Process Data mapping for each of these options is defined in the specification
You will need to start with finding an EtherCAT slave controller and EtherCAT slave software stack to implement general EtherCAT communication. Then you can begin building out the CDP and SDP. Implementation of this SDP must be done in conjunction with the CDP because much of the SDP is based on CDP specifications. Most of this SDP pertains to software requirements specifically for the devices object dictionary and PDO mapping. Implementation of this SDP requires detailed knowledge of the SDP specification and your device's application.
