Enable Device Status - Beckhoff CX B110 Series Manual

Enable device status

The device status function indicates whether the EtherCAT slave is in operation and exchanges data. The
function can be used for diagnostic purposes and provides important information about the EtherCAT slave.
The device status is disabled by default and has to be enabled in TwinCAT, before the slave status can be
displayed.
Prerequisites for this step:
• A device with EtherCAT slave interface (B110) must already have been added as target system in
TwinCAT.
Enable the device status as follows:
1. In the tree view click on the EtherCAT slave.
2. Click on the EtherCAT Slave tab.
3. Under Device Status enable the function Map Device Status.
ð You have successfully enabled the device status function. The Device Status Mapping inputs and the
Device Control Mapping output are added to the tree view.
In the next step you can enable the device identification.
