Slave Enhanced Network Diagnostic
The "Slave Enhanced Network Diagnostic" structure provides information on the network state and the events that occurred in the network. All the information in the structure is provided by a slave.
Port Error Counter
The "Port Error Counter" structure combines the counters of a slave port.
Lost Link Counter | This counter is incremented when a slave detects an interrupted physical connection. |
Physical Layer | This counter is incremented when a slave detects an error when receiving an Ethernet frame. |
Auto Forwarder Original | Number of detected invalid Ethernet frames (invalid frame counter). |
Auto Forwarder Forwarded | Number of invalid Ethernet frames detected by a previous slave (forwarded Rx error counter). |
EtherCAT® Processing Unit | Number of invalid Ethernet frames detected by the EtherCAT® processing unit. |
Port 0 | The structure combines the error counters of slave port 0. |
Port 1 | The structure combines the error counters of slave port 1. |
Port 2 | The structure combines the error counters of slave port 2. |
Port 3 | The structure combines the error counters of slave port 3. |
PDI Diagnostics
The "PDI Diagnostics" structure combines the counters for the process data interface (PDI) of the slave. PDI is the interface between slave controller and application controller.
PDI Error Counter | Number of physical error detected by the PDI. |
PDI Error Code | Error code that describes the last error detected by the PDI. |
PDI Watchdog Counter | Watchdog counter for monitoring the PDI. |
Process Data Watchdog Counter | Counter for activated SyncManager watchdogs. This corresponds to the process data timeout, which means the absence of OUT process data. |
