Basic principle of toggle bit monitoring
Toggle bit monitoring serves to monitor the sync−controlled transfer of telegrams on the
fieldbus.
The higher−level motion control generates a signal which alternates between low and high
(toggle bit). This bit pattern is transmitted cyclically to all controllers of the drive system via
a process data channel of the MotionBus (CAN, EtherCAT).
Each controller monitors the state change of the toggle bit and simultaneously returns the
bit pattern 1 : 1 to the control. If errors occur in the drive system, every controller involved
carries out an independent error evaluation.
In the event of an error (e.g. if a telegram is not transmitted) the toggle bit error counter
is increased by 1. Depending on the error counter limit (C3161) and the fault response
(C3160) all controllers involved can react irrespective of the communication (error
handling).
The toggle bit monitoring function is only active if enabled via the control bit Ctrl1.Bit07
by the higher−level motion control. Furthermore, the toggle bit signal is only returned to
the control system if this mode is selected.
