Transitions

During startup the EtherCAT system passes through the following states: Init, Pre-Operational, Safe-Operational, and Operational (see chapter EtherCAT state machine).

Transitions 1:

 

The diagram shows the following transitions:

 

IP:

Transition from Init to Pre-Operational

 

PS:

Transition from Pre-Operational to Safe-Operational

 

SO:

Transition from Safe-Operational to Operational

 

OS:

Transition from Operational to Safe-Operational

 

SP:

Transition from Safe-Operational to Pre-Operational

 

PI:

Transition from Pre-Operational to Init

In practice the parameters (IDNs) are transferred from the higher-level control system to the AX5000 during transitions IP, PS and SO.

The TwinCAT System Manager indicates at which transition the individual AX5000 parameters can be transferred.
