Online functions

The expert mode of the slaves must be enabled to being able to use the online functions.

On the "Online" tab, you can perform the following actions:

  • The the "State Machine" section, you can set the states of individual EtherCAT® slaves irrespective of the EtherCAT® master. The "Bootstrap" state is not implemented.
  • In the "EEPROM Access" section, you can write SII files into the device retrospectively or read them from the device.

On the "CoE Online" tab, you can only read (RO) or read/write (RW) the value of the SDOs during runtime. A connection to the IEC project can be made using logical devices.
