FB_EcGetAllSlaveAbnormalStateChanges

FB_EcGetAllSlaveAbnormalStateChanges 1:

The function block FB_EcGetAllSlaveAbnormalStateChanges can be used to read the unexpected EtherCAT state changes of all the slaves connected to the master. If the call is successful, the buffer transferred in the parameter pBufAddr contains the number of unexpected state changes of all slaves as an array of UDINTs. EtherCAT state changes are unexpected if they were not requested by the EtherCAT master, e.g. if an EtherCAT slave spontaneously switches from OP state to SAFEOP state.

Name

Type

Description

sNetId

T_AmsNetId

String containing the AMS network ID of the EtherCAT master device. (Type: T_AmsNetId)

pAddrBuf

POINTER TO ARRAY [0..EC_MAX_SLAVES] OF UDINT

Address of an array of UDINTs, into which the number of unexpected state changes of the individual slaves is to be written.

cbBufLen

UDINT

Maximum available buffer size (in bytes) for the data to be read

bExecute

BOOL

The function block is activated by a positive edge at this input.

tTimeout

TIME

Maximum time allowed for the execution of the function block.

FB_EcGetAllSlaveAbnormalStateChanges 3: Outputs

VAR_OUTPUT
    bBusy   : BOOL;
    bError  : BOOL;
    nErrId  : UDINT;
    nSlaves : UINT; 
END_VAR

Name

Type

Description

bBusy

BOOL

This output is set when the function block is activated, and remains set until a feedback is received.

bError

BOOL

This output is set after the bBusy output has been reset when an error occurs in the transmission of the command.

nErrId

UDINT

Supplies the ADS error code associated with the most recently executed command if the bError output is set. Error 1798 (0x706) indicates a null pointer at the buffer address. Error 1797 (0x705) indicates inadequate buffer size.

nSlaves

UINT

The number of slaves connected to the master.
