Note: the crates in this repository are experimental.
The ethercat-plc crate builds on the ethercat
crate and tries to provide building
blocks for writing PLC like applications in Rust, talking to EtherCAT slaves.
The main EtherCAT functionality builds on the IgH/Etherlab EtherCAT Master for Linux.
The IgH repository is located at https://gitlab.com/etherlab.org/ethercat.
Please switch to the stable-1.5 branch in the checkout.
In order to build the raw wrapper crate ethercat-sys, you need to set the
environment variable ETHERCAT_PATH to the location of a checkout of the IgH
Etherlab repository, after running configure there.
The minimum tested Rust version is 1.63.0.
This crate uses the dual MIT/Apache-2 license commonly used for Rust crates.
