Re: Lost on LAN line
I guess the EL9800 microchip based board is designed to accept the "Postage Stamp" board by Beckhoff, which does the ethernet handling with 2 Micrel and a proprietary EL-CAT (U400) chip. Yeah, the PIC18 reference has me confused too, as it sure looks PIC24 ish to me. Maybe there was an earlier board with a PIC18??

Re: Lost on LAN line
I had hair on my head as of yesterday, but now I seem to have it mostly pulled out. I am sure glad I have you guys here helping me with this. There is LOTS to read this weekend.

Re: Lost on LAN line
@ Dave (macracket), missed your post before, must have crossed posted. I looked quickly at the link, is that a SBC or something to hook to my SBC?

Re: Lost on LAN line
Can be a single board, but the cool thing about the 104 form factor is they are stack-able if you need to expand the system (add more stuff).

And because they are popular in industry they will commonly have RS232 and LPT built onto the main (first) board and run in high temperature environments.

Re: Lost on LAN line
Its not often that this happens, but after careful consideration I have decided this is far beyond my reach at this time. There is a lot of things to learn about ethernet, etherCat, and how it all works together.
Thank you all for the help!
