When the input is triggered, the timestamp is latched. With EtherCATClosed ***EtherCAT is an open, high-performance Ethernet-based fieldbus system. The development goal of EtherCAT was to apply Ethernet to automation applications which require short data update times (also called cycle times) with low communication jitter (for synchronization purposes) and low hardware costs, the timestamp sent to the KAS IDEClosed "Integrated development environment" An integrated development environment is a type of computer software that assists computer programmers in developing software. IDEs normally consist of a source code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter, build-automation tools, and a debugger via the MLAxisTimeStamp or MLTrigReadTime function blocks is based on the distributed clock that manages the reference clock (for more details on this concept, see "Distributed Clock (Synchronization)"). The KAS IDE converts this timestamp into a relative offset inside the cycle.

It is also possible to configure a Fast Input to latch the motor position instead of latching the time (see "AKD Drive Configuration"). However, when working with KAS, time latching is more useful, because the positions of all the drives in the application can then be interpolated by means of the Trigger block with the MLTrigReadPos function block.
