EtherCAT Gateway

Data received from the network
1071389707
The data received from the network is divided into five data blocks of 10 bytes each for clarity.
The content of the input data blocks can be used in the logic editor of the samosPLAN5+, as
well as made available for another network via a second gateway within the samosPRO sys-
tem.
• In order to use network data in the logic editor or as input for another network, you must
assign a tag name for each bit to be used.
•
Bits without specific tag names will not be available in the logic editor or for routing via a
second gateway. Detailed information about how to assign tag names for the data recei-
ved may be found in the corresponding sections of the chapters on the various gateways.
•
You can monitor current communication with the network with the aid of input data state
bits for receiving data from the network and the output data state bit for transmitting da-
ta to the network in the logic editor. When the gateway detects a communication error,
both the content of the data sets and the associated state bit are set to zero (logical 0).
• When all communication fails, the data of the output data sets and the input data state
bit are set to zero (logical 0).
•
When a connection is closed while others remain available, the LED MS or LED state will
flash red/green for a total of 10 seconds and an entry will be made in the error log. In this
case the state bits are not affected.
