Hi Matt, You have to implement application layer with 8/16 uC interface. This is only PDI, and the slave's application layer (implemented either in uC or FPGA) is responsible for state transition in EtherCAT system. Master requests the OP state, but the slave application is responsible for switching from previous to the next state.
It is most easily for you to start with Bechoff's SSC (I think for 8/16 uC interface minor changes in code are to be done). It would be good starting point. I have no personal experience with 8/16 uC interface, but only with SPI interface in conjuction with Beckhoff's SSC. My plan is to further investigate this interfaces and definitely post my experiences on this forum.
