ECATDeviceStatus

 Function Block - Provides the EtherCAT state and the port link status information for the EtherCAT device.

• If the EtherCAT network communication is not running due to a shutdown, the device status contains information taken at the time the network was shutdown.
• This function block is useful in locating the devices with communication errors when the ECATWCStatus function indicates there are EtherCAT communication errors.

• 
  
• See Check the Device States in Example: EtherCAT Communication Diagnosis Steps for an example of implementing this function.

Inputs

Input	Data Type See Data Types.	Range	Unit	Default	Description
Execute	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	No default	Read the device status on the rising edge.
DeviceAddress	INT	-32768 to +32767	N/A	No default	The address of the device data is read from. The first node usually has the value 1001. The second node usually has the value 1002. Use the members of the EtherCAT structure to specify a device's address.

Outputs

Output	Data Type See Data Types.	Range	Unit	Description
Done	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	Indicates whether this function block has completed without error.
State	UINT	No range	N/A	Indicates the EtherCAT state of the device. See State Defines. A value of 0 (zero) indicates there is no communication with the device and the state is unknown. Bits 3:0 indicate the actual state of the device. An EC_STATE_ERROR (bit 4 set to 1) indicates the device is not in the EtherCAT master requested state due to error conditions (e.g., loss of communication).
LinkStatus	UINT	No range	N/A	Provides the physical link status of the device's ports. See LinkStatus Defines. If no communication is possible with the device, bit 0 is set to 1. If a link is detected on a port (A-D), the corresponding bit (4-7) is set to 1. If no link is detected the corresponding bit is set to 0.
Error	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	Indicates whether this function block has completed with error.
ErrorID	DINT	No range	N/A	The function call error result, if Error is TRUE. See Error Codes. Upon success, Error is set to 0 (zero).
