Parameters
The parameter settings determine the behavior of the EtherCAT
®
slave in operation.
Parameters are set with the software ProDrive.

m
set Synchronization to „On“
m
SYNC time = Fieldbus cycle time = EtherCAT
®
cycle time = 125 µs to 8 ms
This setting is not necessary if using the CoE profile (CoE: CANopen
®
over
EtherCAT
®
) and the EtherCAT
®
master has set the parameter 1C32.02 „Cycle
Time“ to a valid value or „Distributed Clock“ is set to Sync0.
When using the SoE profile (Servodrive profile over EtherCAT
®
) the fieldbus cy-
cle time can be set via S parameter S-0-0002 or directly via controller parameter
fieldbus cycle time. In case „Distributed Clock“ is activated the set fieldbus cycle
time must be identical with the Sync0 Unit cycle. The Sync0 Unit cycle is set via
the EtherCAT
®
master. No synchronous operation is possible if this condition is
not fulfilled. The slave inhibits the change from PreOperational to
SafeOperational and generates an error message.
