ECAT: CoE, EoE, and cyclical communication freeze internal communication

     

Fixed as of: 

4.7.0.13 

Behavior of the new version: 


The inverter no longer freezes when all functions are used simultaneously.

 


Description of the behavior: 

The inverter’s internal communication freezes; from the outside, it appears as though the inverter is still operational, but it no longer responds to PLC commands and always returns the same data. In Easy Starter, all communication parameters are red.
 

Conditions under which the behavior occurs: 

As soon as CoE (CAN over EtherCAT), EoE (Ethernet over EtherCAT), and cyclic communication are used in parallel and simultaneously.

 

Affected products: 

ISM (iSeriesMotec) EtherCAT


Short-term measures, recommendations, assessment: 

Do not use one of the elements, at least not simultaneously (e.g., disable acyclic communication when accessing the drive online via EoE), or access the drive online via ADS (Beckhoff driver) instead of via EoE.
