RTU-ECAT Operation Manual
5-2
This section describes how RTU-ECAT as an EtherCAT slave realizes the data exchange between EtherCAT
master and DVP-S series extension modules.
EtherCAT master transmits the data to extension modules.
The input data from extension modules are transmitted back to EtherCAT master.

1 Control word Word
Sets the mode of RTU-ECAT. When the content of the control word
is 8000Hex, RTU-ECAT is in STOP state. When the content of the
control word is 8001Hex, RTU-ECAT is in RUN state.
See section 6.3 for more details on the control word.
2 Status Word
Status includes Error register (for error information), LV state (for
voltage status), Error module number (for right-side module number)
and Error list (for extension module errors)
See section 6.3 for more details.
