Maintenance
Disconnecting/Reconnecting Slaves
Use this function to temporarily stop and start process data communications with a specified slave.
It is useful because, during system operation, you can replace an erroneous EtherCAT slave with-
out interrupting the communications with EtherCAT slaves that are operating normally.
Refer to
9-4 Replacing Slaves during Communications
on page 9-26 for details on how to use this
function.
Diagnosis/Statistics Log
The diagnostic and statistical information provides statistics on the number of communications
frames sent and received by the EtherCAT master and EtherCAT slaves as well as the number of
frames for which errors were detected.
This function acquires the diagnostic and statistical information at the specified cycle and saves the
information as a log file in an SD Memory Card that is mounted on the CPU Unit.
You can use it to diagnose the EtherCAT network line quality based on the diagnostic and statistical
information.
Use this function for the following applications.
• Checking the EtherCAT network line quality for predictive monitoring and preventive mainte-
nance
• Finding locations of errors when they occur
Refer to
9-2-4 Diagnostic and Statistical Information
on page 9-3 for details on how to use this
function.
