Welcome to the Project VERA tutorial for EPICS / EtherCAT!
Project VERA is a diploma project by students from the HTL Rennweg in Vienna, with the main focus being the modernization of the Vienna Environmental Research Accelerator (VERA) at the University of Vienna. One large aspect of this project is the introduction of a new process control system based on EPICS, which is meant to control the electronics mainly through EtherCAT modules made by Beckhoff.

In the process of implementing EPICS and learning everything we could about it, we found that finding a place to begin was very difficult, and it took a long time until we got some basic things to work. As a result, we have decided to make our knowledge in form of our documentation and some tutorials public. We have also tried to make this as understandable and easy to use as possible.
