Updating SI-EtherCAT firmware

The latest SI-EtherCAT firmware is available from your local Control Techniques Drive Centre or
supplier. To upload firmware to SI-EtherCAT a copy of Unidrive M Connect and a suitable
communications lead for the option module's host drive is required.

Sync Task Orun trips

If SI-EtherCAT cannot complete the assigned tasks within its 250 µs Synchronous Task, a Sync
Task Orun trip will be initiated; a Sync Task Orun trip indicates that the user is trying to accomplish
too much within the Synchronous task. The user can influence the Synchronous Task by reducing
the amount of cyclic data, or disabling drive control CiA402. To disable drive control set the
Pr S.00.033 to On (1).
