Diagnostics with the »EtherCAT Configurator«
132 L DMS 3.1 EN 01/2011 TD17
Dialog box/section Function
Master Status information on the EtherCAT master:
• Configurator corresponds to the stack configuration:
–Information whether the configuration file exported from the »Engineer«
matches the configuration that is loaded in the master stack.
•Master OK
(active if the value from code C1081.5/C1581.5 = "Master OK"*)
–Current master status: OK
• Master status (value from code C1081.2/C1581.2*)
Possible states are:
–Unknown
–INIT (initialisation)
–PREOP (Pre-Operational))
–SAFEOP (Safe-Operational)
–OP (Operational)
• Master in the requested mode
(active if value from code C1081.3/C1581.3* = "1")
–Master status is identical to the requested mode (by PLC).
• Bus scan compliance (active if value from code C1080.4/C1584.4* = "1")
–Information whether the master configuration corresponds to the physical bus
structure. The master configuration of the stack is compared with the actual
bus structure.
• Network link available:
–Information on the active Ethernet connection of the EtherCAT card.
Distributed clocks Status information on the distributed clocks (DC) settings (value from code C1082.1/
C1582.1*). Possible states are:
•active
–DC synchronisation is actviated.
•in sync
–Distributed clocks in the EtherCAT system are synchronised
•busy
–DC synchronisation adjustment takes place.
More information on how to configure the settings of the distributed clocks:

Slaves Status information on the EtherCAT nodes
(active if value from code C1081.4/C1581.4* = "1")
• Slaves are in the status required by the master
* Depending on the IPC slot used (1/2) of the MC-ETC communication card, the first or second code is relevant.
