Function BlockECATWriteSDOPLCopen motion iconPipe Network motion icon

Description

This function block writes a 32-bit word to I/O nodes using a CANopen SDO write command.

See EtherCAT Library - SDO for some stats about the execution time .

Arguments

Input

Execute Description On the rising edgeClosedA rising edge is the transition of a digital signal from low to high. It is also called positive edge of Execute, an SDO write command will be issued. The function block will only handle one SDO command at a time. If Execute is toggled quickly so that another rising edge occurs before the SDO command has completed, the function block will not issue a second SDO command.
  Data type BOOL
  Range 0, 1
  Unit N/A
  Default
Index Description

The object directory index of the data to be written to.

For more details, refer to:

  • Communication SDOs
  • Manufacturer specific SDOs
  • Profile specific SDOs

To read/write an SDO object with an index greater than 16#7FFF (32767), the value must be entered in the form any_to_int(index # in hex format). For example any_to_int(16#8321).

  Data type INT
  Range
  Unit N/A
  Default
Subindex Description

The sub-index of the object directory variable to be written to.

For more details, refer to:

  • Communication SDOs
  • Manufacturer specific SDOs
  • Profile specific SDOs

To read/write an SDO object with an index greater than 16#7FFF (32767), the value must be entered in the form any_to_int(index # in hex format). For example any_to_int(16#8321).

  Data type SINT
  Range
  Unit N/A
  Default
Size Description The size (number of bytes) to write.
  Data type SINT
  Range 1 - 4
  Unit N/A
  Default
SlaveAddress Description

The EtherCAT address of the slave from which data will be written to.

The first node usually has the value '1001'. The second node usually has the value '1002'.

Alternately, you can use the members of the EtherCAT structure to specify a drive's address when you create the variable.

  Data type INT
  Range
  Unit N/A
  Default
Value Description The value to write to the object directory variable.
  Data type DINT
  Range [-2147483648, 2147483648]
  Unit N/A
  Default

Output

Done Description Indicates whether the SDO call has completed without error.
  Data type BOOL
  Unit N/A
Error Description Indicates whether the SDO call has completed with error:
  Data type BOOL
  Unit N/A
ErrorID Description The SDO call error result, if Error is TRUE (see list of Error Codes in table below). Upon success, Error is set to zero.
  Data type DINT
  Unit N/A
