FB_EcGetSlaveState

FB_EcGetSlaveState 1:

The function block FB_EcGetSlaveState allows the EtherCAT status and the Link status of an individual EtherCAT slave to be read. If the call is successful, the output variable state, whose type is ST_EcSlaveState, contains the requested status information.

VAR_INPUT

VAR_INPUT
    sNetId      : T_AmsNetId;
    nSlaveAddr  : UINT; 
    bExecute    : BOOL; 
    tTimeout    : TIME := DEFAULT_ADS_TIMEOUT; 
END_VAR

sNetId: This is a string that contains the AMS network identifier of the EtherCAT master device.

nSlaveAddr: Fixed address of the EtherCAT slave whose status is to be read

bExecute: The block is activated by a rising edge at this input.

tTimeout: Maximum time allowed for the execution of the function block.

VAR_OUTPUT

VAR_OUTPUT
    bBusy       : BOOL;
    bError      : BOOL;
    nErrId      : UDINT;
    state       : ST_EcSlaveState;
END_VAR

bBusy: This output is set when the function block is activated and remains set until an acknowledgement is received.

bError: This output is set up after the bBusy output has been reset if there has been an error in transmission of the command.

nErrId: Supplies the ADS error code associated with the most recently executed command if the bError output is set.

state: Structure that contains the EtherCAT status and the Link status of the slave.

 

Example of an implementation in ST:

PROGRAM TEST_GetSlaveState
VAR
    fbGetSlaveState : FB_EcGetSlaveState;
    sNetId          : T_AmsNetId := '172.16.2.131.2.1';
    bExecute        : BOOL;
    state           : ST_EcSlaveState;
    nSlaveAddr      : UINT := 1001;
    bError          : BOOL;
    nErrId          : UDINT;
END_VAR
fbGetSlaveState(sNetId:= sNetId, nSlaveAddr:= nSlaveAddr, bExecute:=bExecute);
state:=fbGetSlaveState.state;
bError:=fbGetSlaveState.bError;
nErrId:=fbGetSlaveState.nErrId;
