Behavior
Startup Checking
Here you can specify which slave information the EtherCAT master should check during startup.
Check Vendor IDs
Here you can specify that the EtherCAT master should compare the vendor ID of each slave with the configured vendor ID (default: inactive).
Check Product Codes
Here you can specify that the EtherCAT master should compare the product code of each slave with the configured product code (default: inactive).
Check Revision Numbers
Here you can specify that the EtherCAT master should compare the revision number of each slave with the configured revision number (default: inactive).
Check Serial Numbers
Here you can specify that the EtherCAT master should compare the serial number of each slave with the configured serial number (default: inactive).
State Machine
Auto Restore States
Here you can specify that the EtherCAT master should try and restore the state of an EtherCAT slave automatically (default: active). If an EtherCAT slave changes its state from an error state (ERR SAVE-OP, ERR OP etc.) to a regular state (SAFE-OP, OP etc.), the master tries to change the slave state to the master state.
Re-Init after Communication Error
Here you can specify that the EtherCAT master should reset the slave to state Init after a communication error (default: active).
No AutoInc - Use 2nd address
If this checkbox is activated, the EtherCAT master addresses this EtherCAT slave during the start-up phase not via the position in the EtherCAT ring, but reads a fixed address from the slave (default: inactive).
Process data
Use LRD/LWR instead of LRW
Here you can specify that an LRD command (Logical Read) should be used for reading the inputs and an LWR command (Logical Write) for setting the outputs (default: active). Otherwise an LRW command (Logical Read/Write) is used for reading the inputs and setting the outputs.
Include WC State Bit
Here you can specify that an input variable that displays the working counter state of the EtherCAT slave is added to its process image (default: active).
Info Data
To use these options, Info Data must be activated in the master settings.
Include state
Here you can specify that the input variable State is added to the Info Data entry for each EtherCAT slave (default: active). This variable contains the current EtherCAT state and the link state of an EtherCAT slave.
Include ADS address
Here you can specify that the input variable AdsAddress should be added to the Info Data entry for each EtherCAT slave (default: active for all EtherCAT slaves that support mailbox protocols such as CoE (CANopen over EtherCAT) or SoE (servo over EtherCAT)).
Include AoE NetID
If this checkbox is activated, the NetID for ADS over EtherCAT is added (default: inactive).
Include Drive Channels
Here you can specify that the input variable ChnX (X = channel number) is added to the Info Data entry for each EtherCAT slave (default: inactive).
Watchdog
Here you can configure the watchdog behavior.
Enable
If this checkbox is activated, the watchdogs are switched on.
