Hej Mark,
this is what we use for our motion control test/development crates:

# CPU: CX5130
# Configure EL1018 digital input terminal
# Configure EL2808 digital output terminal
# Configure EL5101 incremental encoder terminal, motor 1
# Configure EL5101 incremental encoder terminal, motor 2
# Configure EL9505 Power supply terminal 5V
# Configure EL1252 digital input terminal
# Configure EL7037 stepper drive terminal, motor 1
# Configure EL7037 stepper drive terminal, motor 2

(No analog IO in our motion crates ;-)

No sure if you have access to this page about other terminals for motion:

PS:
As Han Lee pointed out, there are different SW packages:
- Beckhoff TwinCAT
- Linux ("scanner" from DLS and ecat2 from PSI) (but no motion control)
- Linux ECMC from ESS http://icalepcs2017.vrws.de/talks/mocpl05_talk.pdf
And we are happy to help.

I am interested in trying out EtherCAT with a simple inexpensive setup.  What are the minimum parts I need to buy if I want to use the EPICS EtherCAT driver to control some digital I/O, analog I/O, and a stepper motor?  I looked at the Beckhoff website, but I find it overwhelming.

Thanks,

Mark
