After checking the following items,
restart the Slave according to the
specification of connected EtherCAT
Master Unit.
•
Is the communication cable wired
correctly?
•
Are any cables disconnected or
loose in the part that connects to
the connector?
•
Is the cable length appropriate?
•
Is the communication cable of the
recommended specification?
The host master
has not been
started.
Check that EtherCAT Master Unit is
operating correctly. If using an
OMRON EtherCAT Master Unit,
check the EtherCAT Master Unit
mode and Slave node addresses. If
using EtherCAT Master Unit from
another manufacturer, refer to the
user's manual for that Master Unit.
A hardware failure
occurred.
If the problem is not resolved even
after the measures described above
are taken, the Slave hardware may
