What to do if EtherCAT communications do not start on Omron Servo Drives?
- HHeather Brown PhDJul 28, 2025
If EtherCAT communications do not start, there are several possible causes. First, ensure that ECAT[0].Enable is set to 1 by running the ECAT[0].Enable=1 command from the Terminal tab page. Another cause may be that the EtherCAT network configuration in the Controller does not match the physical network configuration. In this case, review the settings. Also, a broken Ethernet cable or disconnected connector can prevent communication. Ensure the Ethernet cable is correctly connected. Finally, check the ECAT[0].error value for any errors that may have occurred.
