2-6-2 Operation for CPU Unit Status
Changes in the status of the CPU Unit affect user program execution, I/O refreshing, and the operation
of external communications. The following table shows how each process operates in startup state and
during normal operation.
Refer to 12-1-3 Non-fatal error in CPU Unit for information on the error state.
*1 Only the input values are refreshed.
*2 The tag data links remain in effect, but the values of those links are not refreshed. The output tags retain the
values from before the download was started. The values in the input tags are not reflected in the variables.
Values of Outputs in I/O Refreshing
The following table shows the values of the outputs in each state after I/O refresh processing.
*1 Refer to the manual for each slave for information on the slave settings that apply until EtherCAT communi-
cations starts after the power supply is turned ON.
*2 When the download is completed, initialization of the EtherCAT slaves starts. When initialization is in prog-
ress, the outputs reflect the settings for the slave.
*3 When the download is completed and when the operating mode is changed: the values in the device vari-
ables for CJ-series Units are initialized to the values of the Initial Value attributes.
Refer to 6-3-8 Variable Attributes for information on the Initial Value attribute for variables.
