18.EtherCAT COMMUNICATION
18.6.2 Incremental counter
To protect the operation when a PDO communication error occurs, the incremental counter can be used in
the DC mode. When an incremental counter object has been mapped in the PDO communication, the
detection of [AL. 86.2 Network communication error 2] is enabled. Increment the incremental counter
(download) on the master (upper side) per communication cycle. When incremental counter objects are
mapped to RxPDO and TxPDO, the slave (driver) sends the sum of the received incremental counter value
and 1. Detect an incremental counter update error on the master side (upper side) as necessary.
The incremental counter value is an unsigned integer from 0 to 255 and added per send/receive of the PDO
communication. The value returns to 0 when exceeding 255.

18.6.3 Stroke end
When LSP (Forward rotation stroke end) or LSN (Reverse rotation stroke end) is turned off, a slow stop is
performed by either of the following stop methods.
In the cyclic synchronous position mode (csp), stop the command when the stroke end is detected. When the
command position exceeds by 30 bits from the position where the stroke end is detected, [AL. 69 Command
error] occurs.
When [AL. 69 Command error] has occurred, the home position is erased. Perform a home position return
again.

After following up Target position (607Ah) with Position actual value (6061h), change the
direction opposite to the limit.
Check that Bit 12 of Statusword (6041h) is 0 before performing the return.
