STATE LED

Near the EtherCAT Connector A there is a STATE LED that can be in one of the following situations:

State Slave Condition Communication

Off

Init

After switch-on the EtherCAT slave is in the Init state. No SDOor PDO communication is possible.

Blinking

Pre-Operational

In Pre-Operational state SDO communication is possible, but not PDOcommunication.

Single Flash

Safe-Operational

In Safe-Operational state SDOand PDO communication is possible, although the slave keeps its outputs (RPDO) in a safe state, while the input (TPDO) data are updated cyclically.

On

Operational

In the Operational state the slave copies the output data of the masters to its outputs (RPDO). PDO PDO and SDO communication is possible.
