In the website control system of agreement based on EtherCAT, due to operating system and the shake of protocol stack, tradition Main website on Frame, beat timestamp there is the biggest error, cause timestamp inaccurate.And first slave station uses ASIC, It is substantially not present and beats timestamp and there will be the problem of shake, so aligning toward beating timestamp Frame from first slave station Really;And all of data that traditional main website sends all can be forwarded to follow-up slave station through first slave station the most again, thus will The temporal information of first slave station is sent to follow-up all of slave station, therefore generally uses first slave station and comes as reference clock Synchronize follow-up all of EtherCAT slave station clock.
And in the present embodiment, using FPGA as the main website under EtherCAT agreement, given out a contract for a project by main website and unpacking etc. patrols Collect and harden in FPGA, i.e. timing transmission packet work etc. process in FPGA, thus message are greatly decreased and send out Go out the shake of time.The clock of the most all of EtherCAT slave station equipment is all synchronized with master clock, so it is also possible that Almost Complete Synchronization between main website and slave station, the lock-out pulse shake between main website and slave station can be much smaller than 1us.And for FPGA Main website, ARM is responsible for the flow processs such as initialization and the configuration of FPGA main website, is responsible for sending mailbox data and the initialization to all slave stations Operation.Wherein NIOS is responsible for the calculating acceleration of speed ring and position ring, thus improves real-time.The following of main website is greatly improved simultaneously The performances such as ring cycle.Thus avoid the shake of traditional operating system and protocol stack, and the time of giving out a contract for a project is controlled and complete Entirely can measure, thus improve the accuracy of timestamp, it is to avoid due to operating system and the shake of protocol stack in prior art Cause time inaccurate problem.
The present embodiment also provides for a kind of Site synch method for EPA, and specifically for system, this system has Body is referred in this enforcement, website control system as Figure 1-3, including: at main control processor and described master control FPGA that reason device is connected by bus, NIOS, clock counter, slave station that main website is corresponding with main website, described NIOS is for described The speed ring of website control method and the calculating of position ring are accelerated.Described clock counter is arranged in described FPGA, described master Stand and connect described main control processor by Avalon-MM interface.Described main website is connected with corresponding slave station by network interface.
Described method includes:
Obtain reference clock parameter from described clock counter, and described reference clock parameter issued to described main website, And control the reference clock parameter that described main website sent by described clock counter and carry out clock synchronization.
Control described main website again and synchronize bag to corresponding slave station tranmitting data register, and it is corresponding to described main website to control described main website Slave station send too net frame, and/or control described main website and resolve the ethernet frame that slave station corresponding to described main website returns.
Control the clock that slave station corresponding to described main website send according to described main website afterwards to synchronize bag and carry out clock synchronization.
In the present embodiment, also include: control described main control processor and each main website is carried out initial configuration, and send Mailbox data.With, each slave station is carried out initialization operation, and calculates the required director data of slave station, wherein, described master Control processor includes ARM, and the data controlling depositor of each slave station are by described main control processor read and write access.
In the present embodiment, also include: data volume is decomposed into more than the packet of threshold value the decimal of each network interface corresponding According to bag.And transmit, by each network interface, the small data packets answered, wherein, each main website by network interface corresponding with at least one from Standing and be connected, each network interface correspondence connects different servosystems and/or I/O device.
In the present embodiment, the described small data packets that data volume is decomposed into more than the packet of threshold value each network interface corresponding Including:
According to the length of aperiodicity data, whether detection aperiodicity data existed with the transmission time of periodic data Conflict.If there is conflict, then first in the aperiodicity data detected and periodic data, screening and sending and there is not conflict Packet;And the sub-message of aperiodicity data being split according to the message length of maximum transmission, and latent period Packet retransmits after distributing.Such as: distribution task time of periodic data can as shown in Figure 4, wherein, arrow upwards Representing Interruption, Tcycle represents cycle period.Owing to FPGA main website transmits data to network according to EtherCAT agreement On, need the packet sent to be divided into periodic data and aperiodicity data, wherein, the priority of periodic data is higher than Aperiodicity data, need to complete to send in the time window specified, and periodic data content can not be disassembled, and aperiodic Property data there is no strict timing requirements, only need to complete transmission receives.
The periodicity of the FPGA main website in the present embodiment and acyclic transmission control, and can use as shown in Figure 5 a Controlling logic, wherein, data-moving logic class is similar to dma controller, it is only necessary to the data of position will be specified according to EtherCAT Protocol packing is put in Frame, and FCS calculates the calculating that logic is responsible for the CRC32 of Frame, and is joined by the CRC32 of calculating Frame end.Sof generation module then generates the pulse signal in the moment of Sof, and external logic can use this moment of sof signal latch Timestamp, for ARMW or FRMW order, for the calibration of synchronised clock.In a dc mode, FPGA main website needs to ensure Frame arrived slave station before SYNC, can use transmission timing as shown in Figure 6, and wherein, dotted arrow represents that main website is sent out Sending data-frame times, the dotted arrow of band point represents the SYNC time of slave station (or referred to as lock in time).
Further, FPGA main website according to PHY (physical layer) time ordered pair PHY side data be received, and by the number of PHY side Carry out unpacking process according to according to EtherCAT agreement.As shown in Figure 5 b, wherein, FPGA main website need to check Frame to the block diagram received The most correct with FCS, and according to the content in descriptor, the data returned are write corresponding position.FPGA main website need to be by inspection Look into WKC (Working Count, job count) judge slave station either with or without completing the action specified, if the WKC received and expection WKC inconsistent, then need notify ARM side carry out respective handling.FPGA main website can judge according to the Index receiving data Periodic data frame or aperiodicity Frame, the Index frame less than 0x80 is periodic data frame, and Index is more than 0x80 Frame be aperiodicity Frame.
When the request of aperiodicity Frame sends, FPGA main website is according to the transmission required for aperiodicity Frame Time judge its whether transmission with periodic data frame have conflict.If the time that the request of aperiodicity Frame sends and week The interval of the timed sending time of phase property Frame cannot send first sub-message of aperiodicity Frame, then by aperiodic Property Frame transmission request be deferred to after periodic data is sent completely.If the time that the request of aperiodicity Frame sends The time interval sent with the timing of periodic data frame can complete the sub-message of one or more aperiodicity Frame still Cannot complete to send whole sub-messages, then send after needing to split aperiodicity Frame.Segmentation is according to being maximum Can send sub-message time less than aperiodicity Frame request send time and periodic data frame timing send time Between be spaced.When not enabling the transmission of periodic data frame, such as at initial phase, it is not required to split aperiodicity Frame, only just needs to split aperiodicity Frame during periodic data sends.If still there being conflict after Fen Ge, Then FPGA main website needs to report an error.Such as: the sequential of periodic data and aperiodicity data transmission collision is as it is shown in fig. 7, non-week Phase property message carries out splitting the sequential sent as shown in Figure 8, and in figures 7 and 8, solid box represents periodic data frame, dotted line Frame represents aperiodicity Frame, and shown in figure, the duration needed for eldest son's message of aperiodicity message sends is less than week When phase property data are sent to the interval time in cycle next time, i.e. can avoid conflict, the present embodiment specifically can be taked reduce The scheme of the length of single sub-message, the length reducing periodic data frame or increasing cycle period is to avoid conflict.Or, The length of message or cycle can not also be modified by the present embodiment, but directly obtain the conflict time, and when conflict Moment beyond between sends message, thus avoids the conflict time.
After avoiding conflict by fractionation aperiodicity data, periodic data and aperiodicity data transmission flow are the most such as Shown in Fig. 9 and Figure 10.Further, descriptor will be deleted after Frame correctly returns aperiodic, and periodically descriptor will not Being automatically deleted, only ARM side is modified.
Further, in the present embodiment, main website can detect abnormal in real time and process abnormal, including: if Data transmission collision, then the reason sending conflict is searched by main website, and contrasting data transmitting portion chapters and sections solve;If Frame is lost Lose, then the ARM process of main website notice, generally need to retransmit.If Frame exception or mistake, then main website notice ARM Process, generally need to retransmit;If WKC mistake, then the ARM process of main website notice.
In the website control system of existing agreement based on EtherCAT, due to trembling of operating system and protocol stack Dynamic, traditional main website beats timestamp on Frame and there is the biggest error, causes timestamp inaccurate.And first slave station makes With ASIC, it is substantially not present dozen timestamp and there will be the problem of shake, so beating timestamp from first slave station toward Frame Relatively accurate;And all of data that traditional main website sends all can be forwarded to follow-up slave station through first slave station the most again, Thus the temporal information of first slave station is sent to follow-up all of slave station, therefore generally use first slave station as reference Clock synchronizes follow-up all of EtherCAT slave station clock.The Site synch system and method that the embodiment of the present invention provides, makes The intervalometer sent as the time source of time service and periodic data bag with the clock counter in FPGA, it is ensured that give out a contract for a project Timestamp in time and packet is accurate, solves in prior art owing to the shake of operating system and protocol stack causes The inaccurate problem of timestamp.And shorten the cycle period of periodic data, the work that timing is given out a contract for a project and real time parsing receives Industrial Ethernet bag, the process that processor is given out a contract for a project without care and unpacked, the disposal ability of whole main station system is greatly improved, solves Owing to the shake of operating system and Software Protocol Stack causes the problem that processing capability in real time is low, additionally it is possible to provide main website time service merit Can, the simultaneously operating between collaborative slave station.
