Description

sNetId

T_AmsNetId

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

pArrEcConf
SlaveInfo

POINTER TO ARRAY [0..EC_MAX_SLAVES] OF ST_EcSlaveConfigData

Address of an array of structures of type ST_EcSlaveConfigData, into which data of each configured slave are to be written.

cbBufLen

UDINT

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
