EtherCAT state machine
Before communication is possible via EtherCAT, the fieldbus passes through the EtherCAT
state machine during start-up. The following illustration depicts the possible state
changes from the point of view of an EtherCAT slave:

Description
Init
• Initialisation phase
• No SDO/PDO communication with the slave
• Device detection possible by means of a fieldbus scan
Pre-operational
• The fieldbus is active.
• SDO communication (mailbox communication) is possible.
• No PDO communication
Safe-operational
• SDO communication (mailbox communication) is possible.
• PDO communication:
–The input data are transferred to the master and evaluated.
–The output data are in the "Safe" state. They are not transferred to the standard
device.
Operational
• Normal operation
–SDO communication
–PDO communication
–Fieldbus synchronisation successful (if used)
