Tab: EtherCAT Slave – Online

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

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

Table 473: State machine
“Init”	For debugging purposes.
“Boot Strap”	Switches the slave to Bootstrap Mode. Required for transferring firmware files to or from the slave.
“Pre-Op”	For debugging purposes.
“Safe-Op”	For debugging purposes.
“Op”	For debugging purposes.
“Current status”
“Requested status”

Table 474: DLL status
“Port A” “Port B” “Port C” “Port D”	`‎No Carrier / Open‎`: No carrier signal is present at the port, but the port is open. `‎No Carrier / Closed‎`: No carrier signal is present at the port and the port is closed. `‎Carrier / Open‎`: A carrier signal is present at the port and the port is open. `‎Carrier / Closed‎`: A carrier signal is present at the port, but the port is closed. Note: If the function is not supported, the status can be hidden.

Table 475: File Access over EtherCAT
“Download”	Downloads firmware files. A dialog for saving the firmware file is displayed. A string and a password must be entered to perform the file transfer. The required information is available in the slave data sheet.
“Upload”	Uploads firmware files. A dialog for selecting the firmware file is displayed. A string and a password must be entered to perform the file transfer. The required information is available in the slave data sheet.

Table 476: E²PROM access
“Write to E²PROM”	Writes the slave configuration to the E²PROM. A dialog for storing the configuration is displayed, similar to “File access over EtherCAT”.
“Read E²PROM”	Reads the slave configuration from the E²PROM. Uploads 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 to the device. Available only if configuration data exists in the XML file (<ConfigData> section).
