7 Operating Modes
Three operating modes are supported by the measuring system:
● Free Run
● Sync-Mode
● Distributed Clocks
In "Free Run" operating mode, the process data are output asynchronously to the
EtherCAT bus cycle time, e.g. in the configuration phase.
In "Sync-Mode" operating mode, the process data are output synchronously to the
EtherCAT bus cycle time.
In "Distributed Clocks" operating mode, the process data are output synchronously to
a self-defined time. The relevant settings are made in the EtherCAT master. By the
measuring system the synchronization signals "SYNC0" and "SYNC1" are supported.
