EtherCAT Get Scanbus Error Data

Detects when an EtherCAT device in the model is not responding

Since R2022b

• 

Libraries:
Simulink Real-Time / EtherCAT

Description

The EtherCAT Get Scanbus Error Data block detects when a device in the model is not responding, provides error output to stop the model, and generates log output that indicates which device is not responding. The log message provides detailed information about where the EtherCAT network does not match the ENI file. The log message indicates either that there is a missing device at a network position or that a different device is found in a network position than is specified in the ENI for that position. Only the first mismatch found is reported. The block Error output can be used to trigger the Stop Simulation block.

Examples

EtherCAT Protocol Detect Network Failure and Reset

Use the EtherCAT Notifications block to detect a failure in the connected network and to restart the network when the failure is corrected.
