Communication Fault Sequence
The Communication Fault parameter determines the output state if the device encounters a communication fault. A
Communication Fault is defined as an inability for the master node to communicate with a slave node on a network.
The process for determining the output state during a Communication Fault/Idle Mode is as follows:
1. The device receives a Communication Fault event.
2. The device determines what action to take based on the Communication Fault attribute setting configured in
the G3 EtherCAT
TM
node advanced parameters.
3. If the attribute is set to turn off all outputs, all of the outputs will turn off (Factory Default Setting).
4. If the attribute is set to hold last state, all of the outputs will hold their last state.
