The following table lists the EtherCAT Communication Unit’s functions.
Functionality to registers the configuration of the connected SmartSlice I/O Units in a table within the
Communication Unit. This table can then be used to compare the registered table with the information
of the Master.
ON (during power up) = Compare
The registered I/O table will be compared automatically with the actual configuration each time the
power of the EtherCAT Communication Unit is turned ON.
The red blinking TS LED indicates a verification error. A verification error will occur if a registered I/O
Unit is not available or an unregistered I/O Unit is detected.
The verification error will prevent the Communication Unit to change from init to pre-operational.
For communication state details refer to "2-5 Communication State Transitions" in page 2 - 7.
Reference
A mismatch (verification error) with the registered table is indicated at the EtherCAT
Communication Unit’s TS indicator (flashing red).

Table Registration Function (1 | REGS)
There are the same number of
Units, but the I/O data size does
not match, so a verification error
occurs and this I/O Unit does not
participate in communications.

Registration table
The actual configuration is compared to the registered table.
Units that do not match the registered table do not participate
in I/O communications. I/O communications start with the other
I/O Units.
