Ecat_Autoconfig_Set_Slave_Dctime - Delta EtherCAT Programming Manual

EtherCAT Master Configuration

5.8 _ECAT_Autoconfig_Set_Slave_DCTime


Syntax
5 U16 PASCAL _ECAT_Autoconfig_Set_Slave_DCTime (U16 CardNo, U16 NodeID,
U16 Mode)

Purpose
This is for setting the DC time of each node, which default is 1000 us.
Note: This API can only be executed after the EtherCAT Master has been started
( "_ECAT_Master_Open" in section 6.1) and before EtherCAT communication is initialized
( "_ECAT_Master_Initial" in section 6.2).

Parameter
Name
CardNo
NodeID
Mode

Example
U16 Status;
U16 CardNo=0,NodeID=1;
U16 Mode=1; // 1ms
U16 Cardnum=0;
Status = _ECAT_Master_Open (&Cardnum);
if (Cardnum>0)
{
Status = _ECAT_Master_Get_CardSeq (0, &CardNo);
Status = _ECAT_Autoconfig_Set_Slave_DCTime (CardNo, NodeID, Mode);
Status = _ECAT_Master_Initial(CardNo);
}
