10.5.2.1.2.3 EtherCAT slave: Synchronization – Read out diagnostic parameter
You can get information about the status of the EtherCAT synchronization using the A261 diagnostic parameter. It checks
whether a frame arrives at an EtherCAT slave within a certain time period based on the Sync 0 signal.
ü You are in DriveControlSuite.
1. Highlight the relevant drive controller in the project tree and click on the first projected axis in the project menu >
Wizard area.
2. Select the EtherCAT wizard > Diagnostics.
ð A261[0] – [3] shows the state of the EtherCAT synchronization.
3. A261[0]:
Specifies the number of the error code.
4. A261[1]:
Specifies the time difference between the data provision and the Sync 0 signal in µs.
5. A261[2]:
If the process data from the master arrived at the slave after the Sync 0 signal in the slave, A261[2] is incremented.
