Studying mechatronics engineering I am very interested in trying to use my spare RPi that I have lying around as a PLC to get better at programming.

Since I don't have the money to buy an industrial Controller I thought this would be a great fit. I still want to have a touch of industrial flair and I am looking into connecting a Beckhoff ethercat coupler like the EK1100 or the BK1120 to the Raspberry.

Has anyone testde this out? The question mainly is, if the raspi can function as an Ethercat master?

(Yes i run the codesys Raspi Runtime on the Pi :) )

This is a big collection of objects, concepts and resources I have found over the past several years. They have aided my imagination in conceptualising new worlds and new ways of organising. I hope you find something here which you find interesting, helpful or inspiring.

Common Cybernetics (c/cyb) concerns itself with increasing the capacity to self-organise - to organise the commons - whether in the form of developing new economic relations, social relations, organisational structures or whatever else. C/cyb aims to propagate shared knowledge of cybernetics in the service of common purposes.
