EtherCAT PDO Transmit
R2026bSend data to subordinate device represented by process data object
EtherCAT PDO Transmit block
To add a block to a model, double-click the canvas and start typing the block name. Then, select the block from the list.
Libraries:
Simulink Real-Time /
EtherCAT
Description
The EtherCAT PDO Transmit block transmits computed data to a particular variable in the EtherCAT® subordinate device.
The block parameter dialog box has two sections, parameters and signal information. When you specify an EtherCAT network and device variable name:
The EtherCAT PDO Receive block mask is updated with the selected signal name.
The signal information in the block parameter dialog box is updated to reflect the device variable.
Note
If an error occurs while the software parses the configuration file specified in the EtherCAT Init block, this block displays an error message.
Examples
EtherCAT Protocol with Beckhoff Analog IO Subordinate Devices EL3062 and EL4002
Communicate with EtherCAT devices using the Beckhoff® analog I/O terminals EL3062 and EL4002.
EtherCAT Protocol with Beckhoff Digital IO Subordinate Devices EL1004 and EL2004
Communicate with EtherCAT devices using the Beckhoff digital I/O terminals EL1004 and EL2004.
EtherCAT Protocol Sequenced Writing SoE Subordinate Device Configuration Variables
Use SoE blocks and a simple state machine to write configuration values to variables that can only be written before going to EtherCAT Op state.
EtherCAT Protocol Sequenced Writing CoE Subordinate Device Configuration Variables
Use CoE blocks and a simple state machine to write configuration values to variables that can only be written before going to EtherCAT Op state.
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.
EtherCAT Protocol Motor Velocity Control with Accelnet Drive
Control the velocity of a motor by using EtherCAT communication.
EtherCAT Protocol Motor Position Control with Accelnet Drive
Control the position of a motor by using EtherCAT communication.
