Hi,
I am new to CXA_EtherCATMaster library and i have the similiar issue, the CytroPac when it power on it is in Safe-OP mode and need to switch to INIT -> OP mode for it to be operational.
I tried following your code:
Declaration:
PROGRAM PLC_PRG
VAR
//CytroPac EtherCAT Switch State OP -> INIT -> OP
fbECATMasterGetBusState: IL_ECATMasterGetBusState;
eActBusState: IL_ECAT_STATE;
fbECATMasterSetBusState: IL_ECATMasterSetBusState;
fbIL_ECATRemoteSlaveGetDevState1: IL_ECATRemoteSlaveGetDevState;
eActDevState1: IL_ECAT_STATE;
fbIL_ECATRemoteSlaveGetDevState2: IL_ECATRemoteSlaveGetDevState;
eActDevState2: IL_ECAT_STATE;
fbIL_ECATRemoteSlaveGetDevState3: IL_ECATRemoteSlaveGetDevState;
eActDevState3: IL_ECAT_STATE;
fbIL_ECATRemoteSlaveSetDevState1: IL_ECATRemoteSlaveSetDevState;
fbIL_ECATRemoteSlaveSetDevState2: IL_ECATRemoteSlaveSetDevState;
fbIL_ECATRemoteSlaveSetDevState3: IL_ECATRemoteSlaveSetDevState;
strMasterName: STRING := 'ethercatmaster';
iSetMaster: INT;
bExecute: BOOL;
END_VAR
Implementation:
//CytroPac EtherCAT Switch State OP -> INIT -> OP
fbECATMasterSetBusState.Execute := bExecute;
fbECATMasterSetBusState.MasterName := ADR(strMasterName);
CASE iSetMaster OF
0: //Automatically Start every slave in OP mode
IF NOT (eActDevState1 = ECAT_STATE_OP AND eActDevState2 = ECAT_STATE_OP) AND eActDevState3 = ECAT_STATE_OP THEN
fbECATMasterSetBusState.NewBusState := IL_ECAT_STATE.ECAT_STATE_INIT;
ELSIF eActBusState = ECAT_STATE_INIT THEN
fbECATMasterSetBusState.NewBusState := IL_ECAT_STATE.ECAT_STATE_OP;
END_IF
1:
fbECATMasterSetBusState.NewBusState := IL_ECAT_STATE.ECAT_STATE_INIT;
2:
fbECATMasterSetBusState.NewBusState := IL_ECAT_STATE.ECAT_STATE_PREOP;
3:
fbECATMasterSetBusState.NewBusState := IL_ECAT_STATE.ECAT_STATE_SAFEOP;
4:
fbECATMasterSetBusState.NewBusState := IL_ECAT_STATE.ECAT_STATE_OP;
END_CASE
fbECATMasterSetBusState();
IF fbECATMasterSetBusState.Done THEN
; // Master reached operational state
END_IF
IF TRUE = fbECATMasterSetBusState.Error THEN
; // Error handling
END_IF
When i write iSetMaster = 1 (Switch EtherCAT Master State INIT), my ctrlX EtherCAT Master state remain OP.
does anyone have a code example for switching between EtherCAT state? i have seen this example but i do not understand how the switching works.
Warmest regards,
Solved! Go to Solution.

Moved to own topic from "Switching the ethercatmaster between states".
Did you check the sample in the library CXA_EtherCatMaster itself? As your code looks quite similar I guess yes. Could you try switching to one state at a time?
Do you also write "bExecute := true" after choosing "iSetMaster := 1", so that function block execution gets started?

Hi CodeShepherd,
i got it working now for the function block to work i need to give execute variable false then true.

Hello @CodeShepherd ,
I am facing issue with reading the EtherCAT State in PLC.
I followed the code above. The value i received is ECAT_STATE_UNKNOWN.
Anyone also had the same issue?
Warmest regards,

I have solved it.
I used fbIL_ECATRemoteSlaveGetDevState1.ActDevState = ECAT_STATE_OP instead of eActBusState1.
