Description
Starts packet monitoring of the EtherCAT master built
into the NJ/NX-series CPU Unit.
Stops packet monitoring of the EtherCAT master built
into the NJ/NX-series CPU Unit.
Saves captured data in a file in the system of the
NJ/NX-series CPU Unit. The packet monitor is a func-
tion of the EtherCAT master built into the NJ/NX-series
CPU Unit. The captured files in the system of the
NJ/NX-series CPU Unit are not retained when the
power is interrupted.
Copies the captured data that was saved in the sys-
tem of the NJ/NX-series CPU Unit to a file on an SD
Memory Card. The captured data is previously saved
from EtherCAT master built into the NJ-series CPU
Unit into the system of the NJ/NX-series CPU Unit.
The files saved to an SD Memory Card are retained
after the power is interrupted.
Temporarily disconnects a slave from the EtherCAT
network for maintenance, such as replacement of the
slave.
Reconnects a temporarily disconnected slave to the
EtherCAT network after maintenance, such as
replacement of the slave.
Enables or disables an EtherCAT slave.
Gets the status of Controller errors (partial faults or
minor faults) that occur in the EtherCAT master and
the highest-level event code for the current errors.
Resets Controller errors in the EtherCAT master.
(Execute this instruction only after eliminating the
cause of the error.)
