Address
The following fields are only available, if the Autoconfig Master/Slaves option is not
activated:
AutoInc Address: Autoincremental address (16-bit), defined by the position of the slave
in the network. This address is only used during startup, when the master is assigning
the EtherCAT addresses to the slaves. When for this purpose the first telegram runs
through the slaves, each run-through slave increases its AutoInc Address by 1. The
slave with address 0 finally will receive the data. Possible input for example "-8".
EtherCAT Address: Final address of the slave, assigned by the master during startup.
This address is independent from the position in the network.
Distributed Clock
Select DC: The drop-down menu provides all settings for distributed clocks provided by
the device description file.
enable: If the "Distributed Clock" functionality is enabled, the data exchange cycle
time, displayed in the Sync Unit Cycle (µs) field will be determined by the Master cycle
time. Thus the master clock can synchronize the data exchange within the network.
The settings for the handling of the synchronization unit(s) are slave-dependant:
Sync0:
Enable Sync 0: If this option is activated, the "Sync0" synchronization unit (Beckhoff) is
used. A synchronization unit describes a set of process data which is exchanged
synchronously.
Sync Unit Cycle: If this option is activated, the master cycle time, multiplied by the
chosen factor will be used as synchronization cycle time for the slave. The Cycle Time
(µs) field shows the currently set cycle time.
User Defined: If this option is activated, the desired time in microseconds can be
entered in the Cycle Time field.
Sync1:
Enable Sync 1: If this option is activated, the "Sync1" synchronization unit (Beckhoff) is
used. A synchronization unit describes a set of process data which is exchanged
synchronously.
Sync Unit Cycle: If this option is activated, the master cycle time, multiplied by the
chosen factor will be used as synchronization cycle time for the slave. The Cycle Time
(µs) field shows the currently set cycle time.
User Defined: If this option is activated, the desired time in microseconds can be
entered in the Cycle Time field.
