Precautions for Correct Use
• You can select whether the master continues or stops communications with all slaves when a
communications error occurs. Refer to
5-4 EtherCAT Master Parameter Settings
• If noise occurs or an EtherCAT slave is disconnected from the network, any current communi-
cations frames may be lost. If frames are lost, slave I/O data is not communicated, and unin-
tended operation may occur. The slave outputs behave according to the slave specifications.
For details, refer to relevant manuals for each slave. If a noise countermeasure or slave re-
placement is required, perform the following processing.
• Program the
_EC_InDataInvalid
(Input Data Invalid),
_EC_InData1Invalid
(Input Data 1 In-
valid), or
_EC_InData2Invalid
(Input Data 2 Invalid) system-defined variable as an interlock
condition in the user program. Refer to
6-1-3 Checking Validity of Process Data
• Set the
PDO communications timeout detection count
setting in the EtherCAT master
to at least 2. Refer to
5-4 EtherCAT Master Parameter Settings
procedure.
• If a communications error prevents the slaves from receiving signals from the master, the
slave outputs are processed according to settings in the slave. During the time to change
from normal operation to a communications error status, frames will be lost. The outputs for
lost frames are different for synced slaves (Servo Drives and encoders) and non-synced
slaves. The outputs from synced slaves are processed according to settings in the slaves.
The previous values are retained for the slave outputs for non-synced slaves.

Additional Information
You can read the status of the
_EC_PDSlavTbl
(Process Data Communicating Slave Table)
system-defined variables from the user program to see if I/O refreshing is normal.
