Summary and recommendation

• If the EtherCAT^® cycle is faster than the distributed clocks cycle (synch), substitute value generation for interpolated setpoints (FCB10) is not provided.
• If the distributed clocks cycle is faster than the basic cycle of process data processing, then substitute value generation for interpolated setpoints (FCB10) is not provided. The synchronization between several devices is ambiguous and a "dead time offset" can occur between them.
