Checking the state
In the first step it makes sense to check the EtherCAT communication state of the system.
- In the System Manager, open I/O – Configuration → I/O Devices → Device 6 (EtherCAT) (1).
- Open the Online tab (2).
All slaves of the selected EtherCAT master and its communication states are displayed (3). - Use the "buttons" in (4) to change the EtherCAT state of the master.
To ensure smooth operation, the states of all devices should be OP (see State status column the table (3)).
→ Your system is checked and ready for operation.
