Fieldbus gateways
SDO 100D: Life time factor
SDO 100D contains the life time factor (SINT). See SDO 100C.
The life time factor must be either = 0 (disabled) or
O
1.5.
SDO 1016: Consumer heartbeat time
The gateway is configured as a heartbeat consumer if SDO 1016 contains a value higher
than 0 for the consumer heartbeat time. The consumer heartbeat time is defined in ms.
The NMT master must send at least one node guarding message to the slave within this
time. If the consumer heartbeat time is exceeded (life-guarding error), the gateway ge-
nerates a cable break error and sets all process data coming from the network to 0; the
NS LED will start flashing
Red.
SDO 1017: Producer heartbeat time
The gateway can also function as a heartbeat producer, i.e. send a heartbeat signal. This
allows another device to detect whether the heartbeat producer (i.e. the gateway) is still
working correctly.
The producer heartbeat time is defined in ms. For internal processing it is rounded to the
next higher multiple of 4. If the heartbeat time is set to 0, the heartbeat signal is
deactivated.
The heartbeat signal consists of a cyclic CAN message with the identifier 700h + device
address.
It is not possible to use heartbeat signals and life guarding messages at the same time
because both functions use the same CAN identifier.
