EtherCAT Slave – Advanced Settings
To open the "Advanced Settings" dialog of an EtherCAT slave device, select the slave device in the I/O tree and open the "EtherCAT" tab. Next, press the "Advanced Settings…" button to open the "Advanced Settings" dialog. The following dialogs are included in the "Advanced Settings" dialog.
Dialog |
Description | ||
---|---|---|---|
General |
Behavior |
Settings for general behavior. | |
Timeout Settings |
With this dialog you can parameterize the times for the timeouts at the transition from one state of the EtherCAT state machine to another state. You can parameterize the timeouts for acyclic commands to the mailbox. You can set the link timeout for port B. | ||
FMMU / SM |
The "FMMU/SM" dialog shows the current configuration of the FMMUs and SyncManagers and enables the user to change these configurations. The mapping properties of FMMUs and SyncManagers can be set here. | ||
Init Commands |
This dialog provides an overview of commands that are executed at a particular state transition. | ||
General |
Identification |
| |
Mailbox |
Mailbox |
This dialog can be used to make changes to the configuration of the mailbox. | |
CoE |
This dialog can be used to make changes to the configuration of the "CANopen over EtherCAT (CoE)" mailbox protocol. | ||
FoE |
This dialog can be used to make changes to the configuration of the "File access over EtherCAT (FoE)" mailbox protocol. | ||
Distributed Clock |
Distributed Clock |
This dialog can be used to implement settings for the behavior of the slave device in distributed clock mode. Cycle times and shift times are displayed here or can be set. | |
Assign to local µC |
| ||
Latch |
In this dialog you can define settings for the handling of the Latch0 signal and the Latch1 signal. Latch events are read from registers 0x09AE and 0x09AF. | ||
ESC Access |
EEPROM |
Configured Station Alias |
This dialog can be used to enter a new value for the Configured Station Alias. |
Smart View |
The Smart View dialog shows the settings stored in the EEPROM of the EtherCAT Slave Controller (ESC). | ||
Hex Editor |
The EEPROM Hex Editor displays the binary content of the EEPROM in hexadecimal notation byte by byte. Each byte can be edited. | ||
FPGA |
| ||
Memory |
With the memory dialog you can read data from the memory of the EtherCAT slave controller and write data into the memory of the EtherCAT slave controller. | ||
ESC Access |
EEPROM |
Enhanced Link Detection |
In this dialog you can activate or disable the extended connection detection. |
