Tab: EtherCAT Slave – Online

The tab provides slave status information and functions for the file transfer to the slave via EtherCAT (FoE).

Requirement: The expert settings for the slave are selected and the application is logged in to the controller.

State machine
Init	Use for debugging purposes
Boot Strap	The slave is switched to Bootstrap Mode. Required if firmware files should be transferred to or from the slave
Pre-Op	Use for debugging purposes
Safe-Op	Use for debugging purposes
Op	Use for debugging purposes
Current status
Requested status

DLL status
Port A Port B Port C Port D	`No Carrier / Open`: No carrier signal exists at the port, but the port is open. `No Carrier / Closed`: No carrier signal exists at the port and the port is closed. `Carrier / Open`: A carrier signal exists at the port and the port is open. `Carrier / Closed`: A carrier signal exists at the port, but the port is closed. Note: If the function is not supported, then the status can be hidden.

File Access over EtherCAT
Download	Download of firmware files A dialog opens to save the firmware file. In this dialog, the input of a string as well as a password is necessary in order to execute the file transfer. The information should be taken from the data sheet of the slave.
Upload	Upload of firmware files A dialog opens to open the firmware file. In this dialog, the input of a string as well as a password is necessary in order to execute the file transfer. The information should be taken from the data sheet of the slave.

E²PROM access
Write to EEPROM	Writes the configuration of the slave to the E²PROM. A dialog for storing the configuration opens in the same way as for File access over EtherCAT.
Read E²PROM	Reads the configuration of the slave from the E²PROM. Upload of firmware files A dialog for opening the configuration opens in the same way as for File access over EtherCAT.
Write E²PROM XML	Writes the slave configuration directly from the XML file into the device. Can be executed only when configuration data exists in the XML file (<ConfigData> section).
