Initializes EtherCAT. This subroutine uses two global flags.
The flag EC_ADDRESS_BY_ALIAS determines whether slave addressing is position-based (ZERO) or is done according
to a DIP switch setting (ONE).
The global flag EC_BUSID determines the fieldbus that will be used. Currently only EtherCAT exists, and the flag
is automatically set to zero.
