Project Data Transfer and Operation Check
6.5.4.
Transfer the created project data to the Controller.
When a project is transferred, the program starts automatically and the motor starts rotating.
When the user program and “configuration and setting” data are transferred from
Power PMAC IDE, devices or the machine may perform unexpected operations.
Therefore, before you transfer project data, ensure the destination slave is
operating safely.
Transferring project data restarts the Controller and interrupts communications
with slaves. The time that communications are interrupted depends on the
EtherCAT network configuration.
Before you transfer project data, make sure that the slave settings will not
adversely affect the devices.
The procedure provided in this section checks the operations of the motion
control devices, which may perform unexpected operations.
Take adequate safety measures before starting the checking process described
in this section. Do not start the checking process unless safety is ensured.
When performing the operation check, implement all the steps described in this
section in order to put the output into a safe state.

In the Terminal tab page or Watch
Window, make sure that the
ECAT[0].Enable value is
0

If the value is 1, run the
ECAT[0].Enable=0 command from
the Terminal tab page to stop
EtherCAT communications.
