Logging Error Counters in TwinCAT
By default, TwinCAT reads out the ESC error counter registers 0x0300/0x0302/0x0304/0x0306 (CRC
error port 0-3) and clears them. The results are accumulated in software and displayed in the CRC
column for each port of the ESC (separated by commas).
Figure 13: TwinCAT logging CRC error counters
By clearing the CRC error counters, TwinCAT also clears the RX error counter registers
0x0301/0x0303/0x0305/0x0307. The other error counters are also not evaluated by TwinCAT. For a
better identification of the error source, it is necessary to disable the CRC error logging and have a
look at all the error counters. Follow these steps to disable CRC error logging and displaying the error
counters.
