Diagnostics
This section is visible only in online mode.
Current State The current state of the slave is displayed. Possible values: Init, Pre-
Operational, Safe Operational, Operational.
If the state is "Operational", the slave configuration has been terminated correctly.
Additional
Enable Expert Settings: If this option is activated, additionally expert settings for
Startup checking and Timeouts (see below) can be made and the dialog Expert Process
Data will be available. Notice however, that for standard applications the
autoconfiguration mode, which by default is activated in the master, is sufficient and
thus any use of the "expert settings" is not necessary.
Startup checking
By default at startup of the system the Vendor ID and/or the Product ID will be
checked against the current configuration settings. If a mismatch is detected, the bus
will be stopped and no further actions will be executed. This serves to avoid the
download of an erroneous configuration.
Here you can deactivate the options in order to switch off the check.
Timeouts
By default there is no timeout defined for the following actions. If you however want
to watch, whether they exceed a certain time, specify this time here (in microseconds)
SDO Access: Sending SDO list at system startup.
I -> P: Switch from mode "Init" to mode "Preoperational".
P -> S / S-> O: Switch from mode "Preoperational" to "Safe Operational" resp. from
"Safe Operational" to "Operational".
DC cycle unit control: assign to local µC
Choose the desired option(s) concerning the distributed clocks functions in order to
define, which should be assigned to the local microprocessor. The control is done in
register 0x980 in the EtherCAT slave: The possible settings: Cyclic Unit, Latch Unit 0,
Latch Unit 1.
Station alias
Only if explicitly supported by the device description of the slave, this setting can be
activated. It allows direct assignment of an alias address in order to get the slaves'
address independent of its position within the bus.
