4. EtherCAT parameter
It describes the items related to EtherCAT network settings. When modifying the EtherCAT parameters, make sure to write the
EtherCAT parameters in the Project Write menu.
(1) Master
It sets the master functions related to the EtherCAT slave connection when connecting to the network.
The items for master setting are as follows.
(a) Registration Information
Item
Description
Setting range
Initial value
Slave Revision Check
Specify whether to check the revision information of
the parameter matches the revision value of the actual
slave when connecting to the network.
0: Do not check
1: Check
0: Do not check
Slave Serial Number
Check
Specify whether to check the serial number information
of the parameter matches the serial number value of
the actual slave when connecting to the network.
0: Do not check
1: Check
0: Do not check
Count of periodic
communication time-out
Specify the basic number of times to generate periodic
communication time-out errors
1 ~ 8 2
1) Slave Revision Check
When connecting to the network, it determines whether to proceed with the connection by comparing the revision
information set in the slave parameter with the one of the actual connected slave.
The operations according to the set values are as follows.
- ‘0: Do not check’
The communication connection process is continued without comparing the revision information set in the slave
parameter and the one in the connected slave.
- ‘1: Check’
It compares the revision information set in the slave parameter with the one in the connected slave, and if a discrepancy is
found, the network configuration mismatch error (error code: 0x0F1F) occurs and the communication connection process is
terminated.
When the criteria of ‘Slave Revision Check’ are set to ‘0: Do not check’, if the slave that is incompatible with the Revision of
the slave parameter is connected, it may not operate normally. Therefore, make sure to check the compatibility between the
Revisions before use.
2) Slave Serial Number Check
When connecting to the network, it determines whether or not to continue the connection process by comparing the serial
number information set in the slave parameter and the one of the actual connected slave.
