FB_EcSetMasterState

FB_EcSetMasterState 1:

With this function block the EtherCAT state of a master device can be requested and set. The requested EtherCAT state is transferred with the reqState variable. The function block requests the EtherCAT state and, unlike the function block FB_EcReqMasterState, remains active until the new state is set or the maximum time tTimeout is exceeded. The current state is output in the currState variable.
