Master
Status information on the EtherCAT master:
• Configurator corresponds to the stack configuration:
–Information whether the configuration file exported from the »Engineer«
matches the configuration that is loaded in the master stack.
• Master OK
(active if the value from code C1081.5/C1581.5 = "Master OK"*)
–Current master status: OK
• Master status (value from code C1081.2/C1581.2*)
Possible states are:
–Unknown
–INIT (initialisation)
–PREOP (Pre-Operational))
–SAFEOP (Safe-Operational)
–OP (Operational)
• Master in the requested mode
(active if value from code C1081.3/C1581.3* = "1")
–Master status is identical to the requested mode (by PLC).
• Bus scan compliance (active if value from code C1080.4/C1584.4* = "1")
–Information whether the master configuration corresponds to the physical bus
structure. The master configuration of the stack is compared with the actual
bus structure.
• Network link available:
–Information on the active Ethernet connection of the EtherCAT card.
Distributed clocks
Status information on the distributed clocks (DC) settings (value from code C1082.1/
C1582.1*). Possible states are:
• active
–DC synchronisation is actviated.
• in sync
–Distributed clocks in the EtherCAT system are synchronised
• busy
–DC synchronisation adjustment takes place.
More information on how to configure the settings of the distributed clocks:
Synchronisation with "Distributed clocks" ( 36)
Slaves
Status information on the EtherCAT nodes
(active if value from code C1081.4/C1581.4* = "1")
• Slaves are in the status required by the master
* Depending on the IPC slot used (1/2) of the MC-ETC communication card, the first or second code is relevant.
