FB_EcReqMasterState

FB_EcReqMasterState 1:

The function block FB_EcReqMasterState requests a new EtherCAT state from the master. The parameter state specifies the EtherCAT state that is requested from the master.

VAR_INPUT

VAR_INPUT
    sNetId      : T_AmsNetId;
    bExecute    : BOOL;
    tTimeout    : TIME := DEFAULT_ADS_TIMEOUT; 
    state       : WORD;
END_VAR

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

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

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

state: EtherCAT state that is requested from the master. Following values can be passed here:

Constant

Value

Description

EC_DEVICE_STATE_INIT

0x01

Request the init state

EC_DEVICE_STATE_PREOP

0x02

Request the Pre-Operational state

EC_DEVICE_STATE_SAFEOP

0x04

Request the Safe-Operational state

EC_DEVICE_STATE_OP

0x08

Request the Operational state

VAR_OUTPUT

VAR_OUTPUT
    bBusy       : BOOL;
    bError      : BOOL;
    nErrId      : UDINT;
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.

Example of an implementation in ST:

PROGRAM TEST_ReqMasterState
VAR
    fbReqMasterState    : FB_EcReqMasterState;
    sNetId      : T_AmsNetId := '172.16.2.131.2.1';
    bExecute    : BOOL;
    state       : WORD :=EC_DEVICE_STATE_INIT;
    bError      : BOOL;
    nErrId      : UDINT;
END_VAR
fbReqMasterState(sNetId:= sNetId, bExecute:=bExecute, state:=state);
bError:=fbGetMasterState.bError;
nErrId:=fbGetMasterState.nErrId;
