21.4.2 AL Event (Interrupt Event) and Interrupt Enable
Communication between the drive and the EtherCAT FPGA can be interrupt-driven. The interrupt enable register
and the AL event register are responsible for the EtherCAT interface interrupt functionality.
Thereare twoevents whichlead alsoto aHW interrupt within thedrive, theEEPROM emulationevent and the
SyncManager2 event. The actual values of the drive(SyncManager 3data) arewritten without any ALevent
request during eachHW IRQ, e.g. triggeredby a SyncManager 2event. TheMailbox exchange between the
masterand theAKD is completely handledby pollingthe ALevent registerwithin thebackground task of thedrive.
The drive activates individual EtherCAT interface events when the corresponding bit of the interrupt enable reg-
ister is set to 1. When it is set to 0, the hardware interrupts for the specific events are deactivated.
