Corrected from:
i700 servo inverter, V1: V01.11.12.12374
i700 servo inverter, V2: V02.11.12.12375
Response of the new version:
The settings for the timeout monitoring and the EtherCAT synchronisation function have been optimised. Now, synchronising also works with long EtherCAT cycle times = 10 ms.
What happens?
EtherCAT 'Distributed Clocks' (DC) function:
After initialisation, the EtherCAT slaves output an error message.
The error message appears because longer EtherCAT cycle times also lead to a longer synchronisation phase of the EtherCAT nodes.
The logbook contains different entries:
- AL status: 'PRE OPERATIONAL' (0x12),
- AL status code: 'Invalid DC SYNCH Configuration' (0x30).
- EtherCAT master stack
- Communication error on bus system
When does this behaviour occur?
The behaviour occurs in the case of operation with long EtherCAT cycle times = 10 ms.
Which products are affected?i700 servo inverter, V1
i700 servo inverter, V2
Short-term measures:
Reinitialise the EtherCAT bus, restart the system.
