Manual Control
There are particular reasons why it may be appropriate to control the states from the application/task/PLC.
For instance:
• for diagnostic reasons
• to induce a controlled restart of axes
• because a change in the times involved in starting is desirable
In that case it is appropriate in the PLC application to use the PLC function blocks from the TcEtherCAT.lib,
which is available as standard, and to work through the states in a controlled manner using, for instance,
FB_EcSetMasterState.
It is then useful to put the settings in the EtherCAT Master to INIT for master and slave.
