The process image of the input signals is the same as that of the output signals of the respective EtherCAT device.
Conditions under which the behavior occurs:
In the EtherCAT Master, the option Use LRW instead of LRD/LWR is activated (default setting). An EtherCAT device is disconnected or the device drops out of the Operational/Safe-Operational status.
Short-term measures, Recommendations,Rating: The status of the EtherCAT device must always be queried. If the device is no longer in the Operational , the process image of the inputs may no longer be used by the PLC application.
Alternatively, the option Use LRW instead of LRD/LWR must be deactivated in this case.
